Final Comments:
We have a lot of returning experience in different spots including Offensive Line, Defensive Line, and the Offensive Skill Positions. We will be young in the secondary but have great depth at all spots. Our numbers are in the upper 40s for the first time since 2015. We are looking forward to competing in the always tough KMAC conference and the region 25 playoffs.
