2025 Outlook:
Offense: Need to replace a lot of production and scoring. Excited to have our record setting  Qb – Noel Campbell Jr.- back for another year. Return 3 starters on the O-line- Julius Johnson, Kevin Hunter and Caleb Tesema, and Saalem Frink at RB who rushed for over 900 yards last year. Our young WR’s will have to mature quickly, and we need to fill 2 spots on our O-Line. We have a few RB’s- Mekhi Martin and Omarie Demercado who are both ready to help in our run game.  CJ Amobi and Elijiah Daniels are back at TE.

Defense: We should be solid in our front six, and need to fill some holes at safety and corner. Returning Terence Jones, Elijiah Daniels and Naziz Bostick in our d-line rotation. UMass commit  CJ Amobi is primed for another great year at  DE. Return both LB’s- Ashton Woodard and Cole Romano,and Josiah Adams is a top corner in the league. Musa Bradford was on the field a lot last year as a slot corner and is extremely talented.  Temple commit Dylan Abrams will be counted on at Safety and Corner, and we need a few of our young guys to mature and be able to produce at our other 2 DB spots. Looking at Cole Laughlin to have a great year at DE.

Special Teams: Return our kicker- Isaiah Smith (Set the record for points last year)  holder and long snapper- Colin Murray and Jimmy Martin, and our punter Cole Romano.
