2023 Returning Player Stats:
Matt Ferry has 1048 yards rushing
2023 Offensive Outlook: The Lion’s option offense is predicated on establishing the run and capitalizing on play-action passing. The stable of RBs available will help share the load, and try to help control the pace of the game.
2023 Defensive Outlook: The large number of players that got experience on the defensive side of the ball last year bodes well, if the improvement from last year continues the Lions could have a strong defensive unit.
