2022 Offensive Outlook: “There is a lot of talent at the skill positions on offense. Tommy Deshan, and Amir Byrd were dynamic playmakers last year for the offense and we are looking forward to using them this year while adding players like Aidan Roselle and Zach Fluck. Our Offensive Line has a few starters returning in Keaton Monaghan, Dom Laudicina, Gabe Douthwaite, and Anton Skvortsov. We are going to rely on these guys to lead the way as we install a new offense. Junior Tucker Graham should be taking over as the QB. He is a super athletic kid who is an excellent player for our state championship-caliber Lacrosse Team. We hope to unleash his athleticism this year in both the run and pass game.  We also have seen great growth and potential from Sophomore Matt Szychulski.”

“We are in a good spot with the installation of our new offense, but we still have a ways to go before we are where we want to be.  It is going to be a process, but we will continue to improve each week.”

2022 Defensive Outlook: “As a new staff, we are also installing a new defense. Zoom Meetings and all of our practices have been going great so far and we feel confident in our progress. We are going to be relying on excellent technique and physical play up front on the DLine from guys like Keaton Monaghan, Anton Skvortsov, Dom Laudicina, Antonio Difulvio, Nick Monty, and Sam Murphy. Behind them, we have a good amount of athletes that we expect to run all over the field to make plays; these guys include Matt Brown, Connor Eustice, Lionel Dunbar, Zach Fluck, Tommy Deshan, Amir Byrd, Bryce Cohen, and Aiden Roselle.”

2022 Special Teams Outlook: “Ryan Van Dusen is a really strong kicker/punter who returns for us this year.”
