2025 Offensive Outlook: RB Juju Bainbridge and QB Andrew Allen return behind a talented offense line that has three returning starters, Logan Kessler, Cole Cesari and Brody Baddick.and two experienced TE’s. Execution and consistency must lead to increase offensive production.
2025 Defensive Outlook: Many first year starters and inexperienced players must learn and develop quickly behind Seniors Brody Herndon and Cole Cesari and junior Shay Strencosky. The Tide must play disciplined, physical defense and improve on short yardage and third and fourth down stops.
2025 Special Teams Outlook: Special teams must create momentum changing plays and be consistent in changing field position.
