2024 Offensive Outlook: Offensively, we are replacing eight players who had significant roles in our offense over the past couple of years. Jaxson Kreider will be taking over the QB position. We have some quality kids who have improved greatly at WR and RB. Our focus will be on the development of our OL.

2024 Defensive Outlook: Coach Reduzzi will return as the Defensive Coordinator. He does a tremendous job at putting players in the right position to be successful. We are led by our MLB TJ McLain. We return some experience in the Secondary. We are also excited about the potential of some of our younger or newer players at the LB and DL positions.
