2022 Offensive Outlook: “We have to continue to show growth in our skill positions throughout the summer and need our offensive line to be what they showed they could in 2020. If the two meet expectations they can collectively put us into positions for success.”

2022 Defensive Outlook: “Teamwork shows best defensively in our mind. With 10 guys returning on the defensive side of the ball, there is no better time to show just how close we are as a team than now, on defense. The team, the team, the team.”

2022 Special Teams Outlook: “We lose a specialist in Ethan Shudak, an East/West Big school participant for a reason, and that won’t be easily replaced. Have to be good as a group collectively and the scheme will help too.”
