2024 Offensive Outlook: We return a good core group of athletes in the passing game and two starting running backs (who will need to carry the ball more often this season). Four offensive linemen are returning with starting experience as well as two tight ends.
2024 Defensive Outlook: We return three linebackers and three defensive backs with starting experience. Several players on the defensive line saw varsity action last year and will need to step into a larger role for the 2024 season.
2024 Special Teams Outlook: We need to replace our all-league kicker and punter (Rylan Zuk), as well as our long snapper and main kick returners. We have several potential players at each position, so it will be key to see who steps up for us early in the season.
