2023 Offensive Outlook: We have many skilled players this year. We will have a lot of competition at all different positions. Also, offensively many players have varsity experience from last year. We have to pay attention to the details.

2023 Defensive Outlook: We have many returners back on the defensive side. We need to play good fundamental football and communicate on defense. We need to fly around the field using our speed.

2023 Special Teams Outlook: We have both of your kickers back again which will help in the field position game.
