2024 Offensive Outlook: We will have a new starting QB but the WR return which should ease the transition. Getting the ball to our playmakers will be the key to our offense.

2024 Defensive Outlook: Replacing the defensive line will be the key to our defense. We return our defensive backs and most of the linebackers from last year.

2024 Special Teams Outlook: Kicker returns for his senior season. (Holden Gobrecht)
