2025 Outlook: Due to being appointed head coach in April, we had an abbreviated off-season program. However, once the weight room was open, a consistent core group of players attended. Then, after the conclusion of spring sports, we had 20-25 guys at our strength and speed workouts throughout the summer months.

The positive energy is growing, the commitment and consistency is taking hold, and the players are buying in to the plan. The spring and summer showed the promise of taking small steps to turning the program in the right direction.
