2024 Outlook:We have had a great offseason starting back in January. We competed at the PSU & PITT Passing & Big Man Camps and have a better idea of what we can do and how we can utilize our personnel. We look forward to a successful 2024 season.

Offense: Offensively, we return more offensive lineman than in past years. We will lean on them greatly and expect to be a balanced team in our attack.

Defense: Defensively, we will emphasize getting as many players to the football, creating turnovers and putting our opponents into 3rd and long situations.

Special Team: We expect our guys to make big plays on special teams whether we are returning, covering or converting on PAT’s & FG’s. Overall, we want to play complimentary football where we transition from one unit to another.
