2024 Offensive Outlook: With 9 of 11 starters returning on the offensive side, we will look to stay very productive on the ground running behind a big veteran offensive line. All of our skill positions return as well as we look to open up our passing game with our dual-threat QB and get our playmakers out in space.
Keys to success is to stay healthy as a small single-A school, numbers are limited. Multiple formations with a balanced running and passing attack, sustaining drives, and limiting turnovers should have continued success.

2024 Defensive Outlook: 9 of our 11 starters return as well on the defensive side of the ball. Putting pressure on the opposing QB and creating turnovers is always keys to a successful defense. Need improvement on limiting the big plays. A lot of veteran leadership with physical play should once again make our defense successful.

2024 Special Teams Outlook: Our kicker and punter was very consistent last season and returns for his final senior season. We excelled in the return game last season as we get all of our pieces back for another year.
