2025 Offensive Outlook: We have a new offense led by Offensive Coordinator Greg Isdaner. We some key new additions on the OL and Backfield added to some elite returning skill we hope to be able to run the ball better when it matters. We know we can throw it, but we will have a heavy focus on our ability to run the football.

2025 Defensive Outlook: We have a new Defensive Coordinator (Alum) Matt Gorman. We are excited to play a physical and fast brand of football. We are hopeful to have 9 defensive only players this year that allows us to be more fresh in the 4th quarter.

2025 Special Teams Outlook: We have a new kicker and punter. We lose Cole Grim who was a special talent. A lot to prove with our special teams units this year.
