2022 Offensive Outlook: “Our number #1 key is how our offensive line develops. I feel we will have one of the best offensive lines that we have had here in years. Obviously, our QB with make our offense go. I feel we have the leadership in that position that will drive this group. We have playmakers on offense that will see their fair share of the football. I am very excited about what this group can do this year.”

2022 Defensive Outlook: “With most of our starters back in this group, I am looking for this group to step it up another level from their stellar play last year. We have all-state candidates at each level of our defense and they are looking strong so far during spring and summer workouts. I think we have a bad taste in our mouths about how last season ended. I like the determination and focus of this group so far.”

2022 Special Teams Outlook: “We graduated all of our specialist positions except our snapper. I like the work that our kicker is putting in so far this summer and it will be a point of emphasis this year on how we play on special teams.”
