With a plethora of playmakers returning on the perimeter, combined with vast improvements in our speed, strength, and size; we will be much improved.”

2022 Defensive Outlook: “We have eight returning starters on defense. Our DL group may be our most improved group; we will rely heavily on them to set the tone up front and dominate the line of scrimmage. With a plethora of playmakers returning on the perimeter, combined with vast improvements in our speed, strength, and size; we will be much improved.”
