2023 Offensive Outlook: We have a strong group of returning starters and key role players returning on offense. We lost a couple OL starters to graduation but we feel we have good choices to come in and replace them + we are returning 3 offensive line starters. Almost all of our offensive skill starters are back from a year ago and we have a lot of our younger players really impressing our staff. Our keys are depth, ability and experience.
2023 Defensive Outlook: We return 7 starters + many key role players from last year’s defense which makes a big difference. Week 1 of 2022 we entered the season with only 1 returning starter. We lost 3 games in 2022 by a combined 9 points, and we are looking to improve our overall scheme. Our keys are communication, depth, ability and experience.
2023 Special Teams Outlook: We return our freshman kicker who did the majority of our kicking duties + our punter, holder and all of our kick returners. We need to develop a snapper for the 2023 season. Our keys are consistency, experience, depth and ability.
