2024 Outlook:
Offense: Lots of new faces to replace large senior class, lost to graduation. However, the team is excited to welcome back key starters Aaron Angelo and Logan Newman, both of whom missed most of last season with injuries. Lots of varsity experience will return. The offense will rely on a balanced pass/run attack and a deep group of skill players.

Defense: A strong group of starters return and several more with significant varsity experience. Solid units in all phases. Defense built around speed and physicality.

Special Team: Senior Ali Alami returns to handle kicking and punting duties.
