2024 Offensive Outlook: We will be replacing the schools all-time leaders in passing and rushing yards so we will to get up to speed quickly at QB and RB. We have a nice group of receivers and our young offensive line from a year ago has made great strides in the off-season. Their growth will be key in being able to compete in the Mid-Penn Keystone division.
2024 Defensive Outlook: We will need to replace several multi-year starters in our defensive back 7. Our defensive line should be a strength and will need to play well to handle the different types of offenses we will face in our Division. The quicker our back 7 grow up the better chance we will have to be a solid defense.
2024 Special Teams Outlook: We lost our PK who is off to Gettysburg College so we will have competition to take over those responsibilities. Landon Haigh returns as our punt returner with newcomer Cyrell Green and Dupree Reed will also be getting looks as returners.
