2025 Offensive Outlook: We lost a lot of seniors from last years team on offense but have some new guys that have been stepping up that had a great preseason. We have our QB returning that threw for just under 2,000 yards last season and will be his 2nd year under center running the offense. We look to be balance with our running and passing game. We will be anchored by an experienced offensive line returning. We need to sustain drives, move the chains and keep our defense off the field.
2025 Defensive Outlook: We lost a lot of impact seniors on defense last year but look forward to seeing some new faces and players step up this year. We need to find a way to create turnovers and put constant pressure on the qb’s. Excited to see where we are at defensively with some of the new faces we have that will be starters this year.
2025 Special Teams Outlook: Looking to build off last season’s special teams where we were able to flip the field and get good field position. We have a couple kickers that have been looking good in preseason as well. Excited to see them in a game.
