2018 Offensive Outlook: The Offense will revolve around our three year starting quarterback, Logan Edmond. For the Offense to be successful we will need to replace the offensive production lost to graduation at running back and wide receiver. We return more experience on the Offensive line than a year ago.

2018 Defensive Outlook: We return half of the Defensive starters and a solid nucleus throughout the defense. The biggest lose was the three All-League seniors from the defensive front seven. The defense will be anchored by returning middle linebacker Alex Knecht, who led the team in tackles last year. The replacement of those key losses to the front seven will be the key to the defensive success. We return plenty of experience and speed in the secondary that will be anchored by three starter Daulton Musselman.

2018 Special Teams Outlook: The special teams return the Punter in Daulton Mussleman, and have a solid young kicker in Sophomore Christian Colasurdo. We return plenty of experience at both Kick Returner and Punt Returner. Cam Fisher shared punt return duties last, as well as, kick returner. Daulton Musselman also returned kicks late in the season, including one for a touchdown.
