2023 Offensive Outlook: We have a strong core returning on the offensive side. Tyler Gee returns as a 3-year starter. We are excited to return the majority of our receiving core from last year with Jaylen Andrews returning as a catalyst. Our offensive line is a group of returning veterans who have had a lot of starts but must step up as the primary group. We like our running backs and TE’s although they do not have a large amount of game experience at the positions.

2023 Defensive Outlook: We return a two-time defensive MVP in Logan Bastian and a large amount of our defensive backfield. We lost a strong core, but are confident in the guys stepping up. the defensive line, led by Ethan French and Jeremiah Johnson should be strong.

2023 Special Teams Outlook: Chris Cooley has to be our most improved player. We love his effort, energy, and work ethic. Our kicking game should show a large improvement. Tyler Gee returns for his fourth year as our punter. He has been a strong contributor in special teams in addition to his stellar quarterback play.
