2021 Offensive Outlook: With a number of returning offensive linemen, and a stable physical back, we expect to run the football and establish play-action and our passing game off of our running ability.
2021 Defensive Outlook: We will play an aggressive style of defense. We will promote playing fast and physically while playing a variety of zone coverages.
2021 Special Teams Outlook: Returning punter Hunter Pries and an open competition at kicker will highlight our special teams.
