2024 Outlook: We are looking forward to continuing the process of building our team and having the players compete at a high level. We have 20+ seniors on the team some of which are first year players. We have a lot of returning lettermen as many of our players saw a good amount of playing time last year.
Offense: (Pro gun) Looking to establish a strong offensive line and fill key positions by graduating seniors. Tyler Ruddy, Paul Riggs and Tyler Mattis return as key players
Defense: (3-5) Building on the new defensive scheme from last year with a few variations. We have players like Jade Dubaskas, Tyler Ruddy, Carter Isbel, Leland Alexander, Paul Riggs and Kam Ingram returning as a solid foundation
Special Team:
– Kam Ingram can boot the ball. Hes been workinghard over the summer to improve his punts
– Roger Staron is a solid field goal kicker
– Tyler Mattis is a speedy return threat.
