2025 Offensive Outlook: We will have to basically replace our entire offensive unit. We lost our 3 year starter at quarterback (Ben Kreitzer), our leading rusher (Sam Walborn), and our leading receiver (Noah Dolbin). Colt Mason will be our new quarterback and is the only returning skill player who saw any significant varsity action last season. George Shimko is our only returning starter on the offensive line. We will rely heavily on our underclassman to step up and play a major role in our offensive scheme.
2025 Defensive Outlook: Due to some injuries down the stretch last year, we were able to get a lot underclassmen reps. George Shimko returns as a starter on the defensive line and will play a pivotal role in our success. Connor Palerino, Aidan Becker, and Connor Felty saw a significant amount of varsity action at linebacker as did Jacob Williams, Evan Ritter, and Colt Mason in the defensive backfield. We have some talented underclassman who will fill the remaining starting spots on defense.
2025 Special Teams Outlook: We lost our kicker (Michael Stank) and our Punter (Noah Dolbin). Aaron Sinko has been working hard in the off season and will do a great job filing those spots. Colt Mason returns as out long snapper.
