2024 Outlook:
Offense: We are looking for our returning starts both up front and in the skills to lead us early on to acclimate some new faces into the mix. We will look to limit negative plays and spread the ball around.
Defense: Key returners on all three levels of the defense (Wagner, Anderson, Kulp, Keefe and Szollose). Continue to stress alignment and assignment football playing fast, tough and physical. Looking forward to players who have experience along with some newcomers taking on bigger roles this season.
Special Team: We will look to continue to build consistency through the kick game with the return of All League and FCS Prospect Sr. Ashton McLaughlin and All League Punter Fenton Kulp. Ther return game will see some new faces with a lot of guys in the mix.
