2023 Offensive Outlook: A lot of new faces are about to step into starting roles this season on the offensive line. Even though they might not be previous full-time starters, many of them have been spot starters at points last season or subs. How quickly this group jells will be key. Looking for seniors Brewer, Weller, Eberhart, and Blickley to be the leaders of this group. We have a nice mix of skill guys in the backfield which the senior trio of Forrey, Jones, and C.Niedrowski will lead. Finally, we feel good about Hyde taking over at QB this season. He is a natural athlete, who knows the offense inside and out. A huge help for Logan will be the return of playmaking WR Brower.

2023 Defensive Outlook: Defense returns 4 of our top 5 tacklers from this past season in Jones, Forrey, Niedrowski, and C. Eisenhower. We have 5 starters back, so we expect those guys to be the leaders of the defense. We have a very nice crew of LB’s that can all run sideline to sideline. We lost 2 of 3 on the defensive line, but we have guys ready to step up in a big way. The secondary lost 3 of 4, so camp will be a battle for positions and playing time. This summer, we have seen what we feel are guys ready to step in for the starters we lost. In fact, a few of the young talented DB’s look like they have a great chance of seeing the field. How quickly the new starters learn the defense will determine how quickly this defense can become a really solid group.

2023 Special Teams Outlook: Return punter Ryker Jones, but the two sophomore kickers will battle it out for FG/kickoff duty during camp. at snapper is Evan Blickley.
