2024 Returning Player Stats:
Junior Running Back Carter Clee rushed 145 times for 565 yards as a sophomore. That is 3.9 yards per carry. He also caught the ball 18 times for 116 yards.

Junior Linebacker Carson Schneider had 48 tackles last season, 3 for a loss.

2024 Offensive Outlook: The key on offense this year starts with the offensive line. We must be able to consistently open up holes for Carter Clee and the rest of the running backs, while also keeping the pressure off our quarterback when we pass the ball.

2024 Defensive Outlook: The key on defense this season is the defensive line. When stopping the run, we must win our gaps while keeping the opponent’s offensive lineman off the Linebackers. On pass plays, we must make the Quarterback uncomfortable and make big plays when needed.

2024 Special Teams Outlook: Senior Kicker and Punter Kaden Nicastro should provide us with a lot of consistency on special teams. He has a strong leg, and this is his third year kicking and punting for us. The key to being good on special teams is finding a reliable short and long snapper to get him the ball.
