2023 Offensive Outlook: Our keys to success starts with our offensive line. We have high expectations that this group can pave the wave for our ground game. We return two second team all league selections one at running back and one on the offensive line. As an offensive unit we communicate well and can make adjustments as needed throughout the game. We expect to make plays on the ground and through the air in the fall of 2023.

2023 Defensive Outlook: With our defense returning 7 starters, of which 5 represent our defensive line and linebackers, we are expecting a solid performance against the run. We return two middle linebackers who were 1st and 2nd team all league last season. Our secondary is very fast and athletic and will be able to hold our own against deep throws. With the leaders we have on defense this season, our expectation is we will be able to accomplish great things.

2023 Special Teams Outlook: We return our kicker, punter, long snapper, and holder. With a three year starter in command of kickoffs and FG/PAT we look to be able to put points on the board as well as kickoffs going into the end zone.
