2024 Offensive Outlook: We are excited for our offensive unit this season to expand on the triple option and passing game. We are excited for the senior leadership on the offensive line and the core nucleus of skilled players we have returning.

2024 Defensive Outlook: Just like the offensive side, we are most excited about the depth and leadership of our defensive line. We also look forward to seeing the leadership of returning linebackers and safeties this year.

2024 Special Teams Outlook: We feel very confident in our kicking game and the work of special teams coordinators Jeff Hill, Matt Burba, and Chris Quintans.
