2022 Offensive Outlook: “Ball control will be the focus of the offense for 2022. The offensive line will need to control the LOS and use the returning experience to anchor the offense. Our QB will need to manage the offense, we are looking to control the clock with a grind-it-out offense. RB is deep with depth and our players will need to understand the importance of their role in our offense.”

2022 Defensive Outlook: “We look to be more disciplined on the defensive side of the ball. Our summer camp focus will work on the fundamentals of tackling and pursuing the ball. Defensively we look to make plays as much with our feet as we do with our heads.”

2022 Special Teams Outlook: “Tyler Ready returns to anchor our kicking game. We look to use special teams as opportunities to create special opportunities and plan on being creative in our approach to the kicking game.”
