2022 Outlook:

Offense: “To be successful this upcoming season on offense we have to have a balanced attack. We have the majority of our skill players back, and we plan to get the ball in their hands as much as possible. We also look to rely on our guys up front as they have all been working hard in the weight room this off-season.”

Defense: “We will need all 11 guys flying to the ball every play to be successful on defense this upcoming season. We return 11 Guys who started at some point last year on defense, so we look to build on that experience, and continue to grow as a unit.”

Special Teams: “Our Special Teams unit improved a lot in 2021, and we look to build on that. We return our K/P and both of our Kick Returners. We will need our guys on special teams to do their assignment to be successful.”
