2018 Offensive Outlook: We have a great deal of experience coming back on the Offensive Line and skills. We have a three way competition for the QB position between Sr. Cam Eaton, Jr. Ben Yost, and So. Joe Kerbacher. Our success will be determined by how quick our kids pick up the new offensive system.
The keys to a successful year are taking care of the football, limit mental mistakes, and find what we do best.
2018 Defensive Outlook: We’ve moved some personnel around after evaluating how our kids will fit into the defensive scheme. We have depth on the Defensive Line and Secondary. Our success on Defensive is predicated on how quick our kids pick up the new defensive system.
The keys to a successful year are creating turnovers, limiting mental mistakes, and find what we do best.
2018 Special Teams Outlook: We have a two way battle for kicker between Jr. Brady Rimple and So. Aiden Reinhard. We want to emphasize special teams is just as importantly as offense and defense.we want to be sound in all phases of the game.
