2023 Offensive Outlook: An experienced passing attack returns led by QB Ryan Newton, WR Carter Marr, and the versatile athlete Sam Hall. This year we are looking for more balance in the offense and would like to establish the running game better with RB Colby LeBarron and FB Stone Allison. Consistency and cutting back on turnovers will be the key to success throughout the season.

2023 Defensive Outlook: An undersized aggressive defense is anchored by DE Isaiah Betz and LB Colby LeBarron. The key to our success will be stopping the run against a very physical schedule. Sam Hall is a lockdown corner, and Carter Marr is an experienced veteran opposite him in the secondary.

2023 Special Teams Outlook: Looking for a new kicker and punter. Sam Hall is a dangerous return man
