2025 Offensive Outlook: We are getting our Starting Center back from a ACL injury last year, that alone is going to make a big difference for us. He is like a coach on the field. Our focus is to dominate the line of scrimmage and run the ball. We have a variety of play makers at the skill position so we need to utilize them as best as we can. We are going to be young at some of the skill positions but they are putting in the work to prove themselves. We also need to limit turnovers and penalties.
2025 Defensive Outlook: Our focus since the season ended last year is to be a better tackling team. We have put in the work and continue to do so in that area. We are going to be very physical and fast. This defense is going to be relentless. We are returning a lot of starters on that side of the ball, they are eager to dominate.
2025 Special Teams Outlook: Our biggest key is to not give teams a great starting position on the field. I would like to have them start from their own 20 yard line. This is a great point of emphasis. Our returners are pretty good! Monty Fisher is electric with the ball in his hands. We will also use some of the younger guys to return kicks.
