2020 Offensive Outlook: The faster that we can come together as a team, the better that we will be. .We will have a lot of inexperience and youth, but with that, a lot of talent and athleticism.

2020 Defensive Outlook: We will rely on our senior leadership and our ability to run to the football and tackle. We will be an aggressive group of defeneders.

2020 Special Teams Outlook: We will be constant.
