Jr. LB Harry Kull 43 Tackles, 6 TFLs, 1 sack, 1 FF, 6 pass breakups

2024 Offensive Outlook: With plenty of returning experience and size in the offensive line and running back, the Blue Devils project to continue on last year’s strong pace, which featured an impressive 213 yards per game on 5.8 yards per carry. This run game will open up the defense for an efficient and explosive pass game.

2024 Defensive Outlook: Like on offense, the Blue Devils return a lot of experienced players on defense (9 starters). We have good overall defensive speed and strength. These attributes will allow us to execute an attacking defense which puts pressure on the opposing offense with multiple looks.
