2021 Offensive Outlook: Our offensive line will probably start with 3 to 4 freshmen that will have to learn and mature quickly for us to establish a good offensive showing. Our QB should be a huge plus for us with his ability to extend plays and to run with the ball. Landon Klinger could be the surprise of the conference. He’s a first-year player with a huge upside. Also, we have Isaac Miller whom we call Mr. Consistent. A very savvy player with untapped abilities. Peter Rank and Ashton Carter will have to step up and carry the load in the passing game. Both are very capable, they just need the experience. Owens our left OT should be rock solid for us this year as last year was his very first year of playing football. He’s a great leader and a hard worker.

2021 Defensive Outlook: Simplicity, playing fast, and having fun is the key to our defense having success!

2021 Special Teams Outlook: Having the ability on the kickoffs to limit teams behind the 35-yard line and punting with consistency. Of course, X-Point kicking is always crucial as well.
