Jonas McGrath 550 yards passing 8 TD’s,

2021 Offensive Outlook: Our offensive line needs to be able to control the line of scrimmage for us to establish our running game. If we all work together, we should have a successful year offensively. McGrath needs to be a leader on the field and directs the offense.

2021 Defensive Outlook: Our defense is quick and fast to the ball. Our defensive line will be the key to how well we defend the run and pass.

2021 Special Teams Outlook: New kicker Bryce Soles has shown promise during off-season workouts.
