2025 Outlook:
Offense: We have a good nucleus back on offense that gained valuable experience from last year’s team that comprised a roster of 68% freshmen and sophomores. We will need to continue to grow together and be more consistent in finishing off drives, moving the chains and making explosive plays while eliminating turnovers.
Defense: We have a good nucleus back on defense that gained valuable experience from last year’s team that comprised a roster of 68% freshmen and sophomores. We will need to continue to grow together and be more consistent in getting off the field on 3rd downs, limiting explosive plays and creating turnovers.
Special Team: We will need to replace Trevor Anthony who had a very good leg for us last season that provided much consistency to our special team units. We look for Dillon Anthony, Hunter Sell and Devlin Moyzan to help out in this department and contribute to the team in the best possible manner to win the field position battles and to add scoring via their legs.
