2021 Outlook:

Offense: We have eight returners starters with plenty of game experience to come out of the gate strong this year.  We also have a number of young skill talent to provide competition and depth.  We need to find an every-down TE and an OT to settle in on.

Defense: We have seven returning starters, a couple of which are key signal-callers.  This should help with making in-game adjustments and setting a tone for our defense early in the season.

Special Team: Our kicking game should be a huge factor for us this coming season.  We have 2 kids with unbelievable range for field goals and have the ability to put the ball in the endzone on kick-offs.  We must make take an advantage of this during the season.
