2022 Outlook:
Offense: “Need to protect the football and protect whoever emerges as our QB. Experienced OL and returning backfield with first 1,000-yard rusher since 2015. Looking to build off success to end last season.”
Defense: “Experienced Front seven and emerging playmakers in Secondary should let us build off the successful end to last season on defense.”
Special Team: “Kicker Caden Kash worked hard this off-season with his kicking coach to improve. Punter Michael Gelatko is one of the best in the area. Long Snapper Jesse Rodino is one of the best around.”
