Coaches Comments: The rising junior has already proven himself as a leader in how he carries himself in the weight room, meetings, and on the field. His commitment in the weight room reflects on the field, where he regularly breaks tackles for additional yards or tackles ball carriers. As he led the team in tackles and rushing yards during his sophomore year, we anticipate an even bigger junior season from Chase after another offseason of building size and strength. Chase is a genuine lead-by-example player, always striving to do things correctly and highly coachable.

Coaches Comments: Max contributed as a sophomore and was a two-way starter as a junior. He has shown over the years that he has incredible versatility up front, having played multiple positions on the offensive line and defensive line. An incredible athlete for a young man his size, which shows on the basketball court or in the circle throwing in the spring. With his smarts and athletic ability, we have decided to move Max to guard to take advantage of his athletic ability in space. Last season, we played Max primarily at DE, where he did an outstanding job earning all-league honors. Much like we have moved him on offense, we might move him around a bit more on defense this season to take advantage of his ability to get up and down the line chasing things down. Max works in the weight room, and works on the field, but what takes Max to the next level is the knowledge of the game. Understanding his assignment along with everybody else’s.

Coaches Comments: The secondary lost several key contributors; however, Derek will now assume the leadership role within the secondary. With two years of experience as a defensive starter and contributions as a sophomore, we anticipate a standout senior season from him, where he will excel in making plays and organizing the secondary. Derek is a versatile player, capable of seamlessly transitioning to any position within the secondary when needed. Having performed well at HB previously, we plan to increase his workload on that side of the ball this season. While Derek excels at running the ball, we’d also like to advantage of his ability to catch balls in the passing game. Known for his dedication in the weight room, commitment to film study, and leadership qualities on the field, Derek is poised to make a significant impact in his upcoming senior season.

Great athlete who plays HB for us, but could easily slide out to WR and make an impact. Much like Derek, we wanna find ways to get Justice the ball in space because he can catch and make people miss. On defense, Justice played CB and Safety last season, and more of the same coming this season. Justice can cover people which is obvious with 4 INT’s and 2 which he returned for TD’S, but he isn’t afraid of getting into the box and getting involved in the run game. Already has established himself as one of the hardest workers on the team on the field and weight room. Another 3 sport athlete who excelled on the basketball court and the track as well this past spring. We look for Justice to take his game to another level this fall.

He plays much bigger than his listed size and with a serious chip on his shoulder. We are expecting Jacob’s bar to rise to new heights this season!

Coaches Comments: Last year, Tyler stepped up big time as a sophomore. He played as the 3rd Fb and also subbed in on defense for Ryker Jones (princeton) and Chase Eisenhower when needed at MLB. Unfortunately, week 7 against Conrad Weiser, Drew Forrey suffered a season-ending leg injury. We then decided to try Tyler at OLB, and he quickly proved he was up for the challenge. Throughout the remaining 7 games of the regular season and playoffs, Tyler excelled in Drew’s absence. His performance was so impressive that we’ve decided to keep him at OLB. On offense, Tyler is expected to take on a larger role this season. Similar to last year when Chase and Collin Niedrowski shared most of the FB carries, this season Chase and Tyler are likely to carry a significant load. Tyler is a true three-sport athlete, transitioning seamlessly from football to wrestling and then to throwing in the spring. His success in all these sports is a result of his hard work and dedication both on and off the field. Tyler is the last of 4 Niedrowski brothers following Hunter, Evan, and Collin.

Coaches comment: Jonah is a lock down defensive back and a burner at receiver. The speed and precision in his routes, as well as his smooth hips and cerebral approach to coverage have him set up for a breakout year. Jonah is coachable, has a hard-working mentality, and brings great energy to the team. The offense and defense will look to showcase his abilities and put him in positions to be impactful.

Coaches comments: We are moving Tyler to center this year. We want to be strong in the middle and build everything around him. Tyler will anchor the line alongside three other returning lineman this year. He is a versatile player, who brings every down. Tyler is looking forward to a great senior year.  He is getting interest from some Division 2 and 3 programs at this time.
