2023 Offensive Outlook: The key to our offense every year is up front with our offensive line. We look forward to building a new cohesive offensive line that will pave the way for our split-back veer offense. Offensive Coordinator Rich Boyd has created extremely high expectations on what our offensive goals are each year and we look forward to the 2023 challenge.

2023 Defensive Outlook: First-year Defensive Coordinator Marc Panepinto set the tone this past year and our main key is building on his beliefs from last year. We will start the year with a lot of experienced defensive players from last year and we look forward to seeing them develop as leaders this year.

2023 Special Teams Outlook: Special Teams Coordinator Jeff Hill has been working hard this off-season to develop new drills and techniques to improve our special teams. We look forward to our sophomore and junior classes filling in the roles of our special teams and taking pride in these groups.
