2023 Offensive Outlook: We welcome back 9 returning starters on offense including our entire backfield. We have a nice balance of strength, speed, and experience.

2023 Defensive Outlook: Our entire secondary and linebacking corp return. Up front, there will be a lot of competition between the returning players and some key newcomers. This should give us the ability to have a nice rotation.

2023 Special Teams Outlook: Our special teams made some critical plays for us down the stretch in 2022, with all of those players returning our special teams have the potential to be one of our strengths.
