2023 Offensive Outlook: We return starters or significant experience at every position. The offense lost some quality offensive linemen to graduation, but we return a core group of Reph, Biery, and Grell. Jacob Ladd will step in at Right Tackle with plenty of meaningful experience last year. We are looking for one offensive lineman, and depth across the board. Out TE and HB position will be filled by Aiden Salvato a returner from last year’s team.

The wide receiving corp returns plenty of experience in Pinnock, Coleman, and Williams all capable of doing big things. The ball carrying duties will be handled by Caden Henritzy who is in striking distance of breaking the all-time career yards rushing record. AJ Slivka will take over as quarterback where he saw a significant amount of playing time last year. We feel any of our skills has the ability to go the distance, and we will work to keep everyone involved. The key to success will be to spread the ball out and utilize all our talent, forcing teams to defend the entire field.

2023 Defensive Outlook: We return a solid core of defensive linemen led by Biery, Reph, Salvato, and Henritzy. They all have either started or bring a ton of meaningful experience to the Defensive Line. We lost the North Division Defensive MVP in Czarnecki, but return a starter in Brett Rickert, and Bill Stuhldreher showed last year that he was more than ready. We are super excited about our front 6 and they speed they can play at.

The secondary returns experience at every position including three- and four-year starters in Pinnock, Slivka, and Colemen. These three will help anchor the secondary and be joined by Tymir Williams, and Devlin Chevere. We are excited about the overall speed the secondary has played with in the off-season. We will focus on discipline and playing assignment football not giving our opponent any big plays. we want to force our opponent to drive the field and not make a mistake.

2023 Special Teams Outlook: We return our placekicker in Aaron Gutkowski. Aaron is a soccer player who kicked for the first time in 2022. He has focused on kicking this off-season and we anticipate Aaron taking steps forward with his kick-offs and field goal kicking.

We return both our long snappers in Henritzy and Reph, and although Gutkowski will handle the placekicking duties, the punting position is a wide-open competition. We lost Jaelen Richardson to graduation but have Tristin Pinnock who shared the returning responsibilities the past two seasons and is ready to have a breakout season as our returner.
