2025 Outlook:
Entering the season with an experienced offensive line. The key offensively will be the development of our young players at the skill positions. We will have speed at the wideout position with Chase Guers and Cole Luckenbill. Defensively we will be replacing six positions and must rally around senior leadership of Reese Miller in the Middle at Linebacker and Dylan Foose at DT, William Shaner at DE.
Overall, our success will depend on the development of our new players at the skill positions both offensively and defensively. We will have to lean on experienced Offensive and Defensive lines until our young skill players get game experience. Given our strong early schedule, our summer development will be key for our younger players to gain experience and confidence.
