2025 Offensive Outlook: Offensive output directly linked to a very experienced Offensive Line/Tight End /Fullback unit with nice height and size. Carter takes over for 1790 yard rusher Caleb Snyder and AJ Santiago has won the Qb duties. Issac Jackson is a every down threat at WR. At 6’4″ 245 Eoghan Savage will be heavily involved in the passing game. Very long and engaged summer working with many teams to further develop.
2025 Defensive Outlook: All defensive success will start and end up front. All returning from last season several holding several collegiate offers. Size with burst and mobility. Uda returns it’s 2 leading tackles from 2024 in Troutman and Grassmyer. Strong LB core. Issac Jackson will lead the defensive backfield with open competition to secure the remaining spots. Multiple looks active philosophy looking to create big opportunities
