Michael Bradley 4 TD.

2023 Offensive Outlook: The offense will not be as explosive as last year with the loss of Jordan. Hess returns at QB so the year of experience will help. There are a lot of new faces on the offensive side of the ball, but this a very coachable group that I expect to execute at a high level.

2023 Defensive Outlook: Returning 7 players with starting experience. The linebacker group should be excellent. This is a group with good team speed that must work together to succeed.

2023 Special Teams Outlook: New kicker and punter. Losing a college-level kicker will be an adjustment.
