2024 Offensive Outlook: QB Etkin returns as a an experienced signal caller. RB is a glaring concern at the present time. Many of our wideouts return with partial playing time experience, our strength will be in the guys up front. Roll and Holland return for their third season, Fitzmaurice and Sanders for their second season and Selby got a number of starts last season. Depth in the line as their are another 6-7 players behind those 5 who will compete for snaps this season.

2024 Defensive Outlook: O’Sullivan returns for his 3rd season at LB, and our secondary got considerable experience. Our DL has worked hard in the weight room and hopefully we can rotate guys here to keep us fresh.

2024 Special Teams Outlook: Sr, Matthew Miller returns for his second season along with L/S Potter Rudl so we are confident in what we will be able to do this season.
