2023 Offensive Outlook: We return most of our offensive line, our best WR (Dyches), and second-best RB (Sadowski). We have to replace several talented playmakers, but there are promising young athletes to do so (Walsh at QB, Smeltz at WR, Marshall and McCormick at RB). If the young skilled players adjust to varsity football well, we should be very successful and diverse on offense.

2023 Defensive Outlook: We return our entire defensive line and several key pieces in the back end of our defense. We’ve been blessed with a talented and deep secondary for the past few seasons, so the development of some of our young safeties and corners will determine how well we can defend this season.

2023 Special Teams Outlook: Rylan Zuk is an excellent three-way kicker, who split time last year with an all-state kicker (Quintois). He should shoulder the load this season. Nase is a three-year starter as a long snapper. We have several solid candidates to replace our returners.
