2024 Offensive Outlook: We will make our opponents defend the entire field. Creating a very balanced offense. We will strive to score quickly or have sustainable drives by having shorter late down conversions. Our players are looking to make their own mark on our young program. It all starts up front with a cohesive offensive line and then out to skill players who are smart and eager to make good things happen anywhere we line up. Protecting the football, working FOR each other and have a no quit attitude. We have a lot of young guys who are eager that we expect to make an impact.

2024 Defensive Outlook: On the defensive side of the ball, its simple. The defense will set the tone of the team, we will play fast, free and smart football. We look to keep everything in front of us and play sound, fundamental defense and not give up those highlight plays. To make every offense work for every yard. Forcing the offense to make mistakes and cause turnovers is an absolute must.

2024 Special Teams Outlook: We look to pin people deep and make them work a longer field on every drive. For us special teams is an opportunity to create a spark, and we intend to do just that. Use special teams to provide that energy and that spark within each and every game to help us compete.
