Special Teams
Brody Rebuck P 21 -644

2024 Outlook:
Offense: We have a great deal of our offensive production back and a little more experience on our offensive line. I believe we will able to run the ball more effectively this season which can take some pressure off of Brody.

Defense: Defensively we struggled last season because we were so young on that side of the ball but the experience that those young men gained has been a big boost to the confidence. We can be more aggressive than last year and we have made it a priority to be better at tackling than we were last season.

Special Team: Special teams is the big question mark for us, as we will be using a freshman kicker, but we have Brody back to do the punting and we also have two very talented return men in Mikey Vaders and Thomas Pollock.
