2022 Offensive Outlook: “Continue to be a dual-threat offense, led by Sr. QB, Levan McFadden, Sr. WR, Quinn Brennan, and Sr. RB, Nick Creisher. With only 1 loss on the OL, York Catholic’s experienced OL looks to improve in both the running and passing game.”

2022 Defensive Outlook: “With only losing a few players from last season, the Fighting Irish will look to continue their attack-style defense, looking to create turnovers and eliminate big plays. Led by Linebackers Sr. Nick Creisher and Sr. Colin Faust, the Irish are pretty solid in the middle and up front.”

2022 Special Teams Outlook: “With the losses of Kicker, Nick Andrasi and Returner, Andrew Adams, York Catholic have some shoes to fill in key positions. Levan McFadden will likely be the replacements at Returner, but the kicking and punting duties are still up from grabs.”
