2023 Outlook:

Offense: We have four returning starters with game experience. We have talent in our QB, TB, and WR positions. The sooner we can fill the three holes left up front, the faster we can come together as a unit. We are excited about the balance we will have in our offense and the diversity of skill sets that we have.

Defense: We have five returning starters! On the front line, we return Turner and Kolk who started all of the 2022 season. We need to sure up our linebacking crew, Armold has been moved to our OLB, which should help strengthen our 2nd level. We return 3 secondary players which should give us the experience we need in the back half. Putting pressure on the QB and being strong in the run game is always our focus.

Special Team: Our kicking game is a concern for us this upcoming season. Our coverage in the kicking game will be important as we develop the consistency, we need to have in the kicking game. We return our punter, Zac Hahn, for his 3rd year. We will need to take advantage of situations to flip the field.
