COACH ON 2025
Ty Smith: “With a new staff in place for 2025, there has already been a culture shift with good discipline, standards, and a new sense of energy around the field. Expect to see much more accountability and (a) very focused football program this year. With player development being the blueprint moving forward, we expect to see some new faces making plays on both sides of the ball. Within the program itself, the scheme on both offense and defense will get a shake-up with new faces all over the field and will lean heavily on returning senior two-way starters Gavin Rivera and Gabriel Garcia.”
