2022 Offensive Outlook: “Like many teams throughout the conference, we are looking to get better day by day. We have a good group of kids willing to work and get better. While we have veteran-skill kids, we need the young offensive line to gel as fast as possible to establish a run game. We will be in multiple sets, looking to take what the defense is giving.”

2022 Defensive Outlook: “Looking to instill an attitude in the players and an aggressive style of play. Want to be able to stop the run. Need everyone to run the football and tackle. Continue to get better at the little things and the rest will take care of itself.”

2022 Special Teams Outlook: “We definitely need to take the time these teams deserve. Important one-third of the game that can change momentum and field position at any part of the game. We have to be solid in every aspect.”
