2019 Offensive Outlook: We need to find our identity through camp and leading into the start of the season. We lost some key starters who played a ton of football. Our offense will need to mature quickly.

2019 Defensive Outlook: Similar to the offense, our defense lost a lot of starters. We do return some strong leaders on the DL, LB’s, and DB’s. We need those leaders to bring everyone up to speed and play at a high level.

2019 Special Teams Outlook: We return both our Kicker and Punter from last season, as well as our Long Snapper. We will look to be more consistent from each position going into this coming season.
