2024 Outlook:
Offense: Need to establish our run game first to set up pass. Utilize Blake Schwartz’s experience and arm strength. Three members of the oline return and have to solidify the oline for us to be able to move the football down the field

Defense: Need to control the line of scrimmage and utilize our speed to get to the football quick and make tackles. Your team will have to grow quickly.

Special Team: Loss of Chase Stephen in the kicking duties hurts by SO Nate Hillard appears to be up to the task of Stephen’s replacement.
