2025 Season Outlook

 

After a big growth year in 2024, the 2025 Thunderhawks continue their quest in search of Peak Performance week in and week out. Graduating Seniors from last year have opened the door for some great competitions in many spots on the Offensive Line, Quarterback, Cornerback and Defensive Line. We’re excited about the Leadership of our Returning Starters though - Dawson Reip, Carson Shroyer, Cole Miranda, Gabe Abdelnour, AJ Fitzstephens, Carter Fausnaugh, Beckett Bush, Ryder Hooks, Carter Jones, Chris Bouyer, Jayden Seay and PJ MacFarlane. It is rare to have so many guys who will be playing in their 3rd Varsity season, we will need to lean on that experience as we get the new guys up to speed. Really fired up for our Defensive Line additions-Towdah Fofie, Jayden Ross, Chris Seabrooks, Devon Caldwell, Cord Wallace and Devon Caldwell. Nile Knutson was in great competition with AJ Skoog for the QB spot and he will be our starter in the 2025 campaign. The Offensive Line has been revamped and reimagined after graduating 7 seniors from last year. We are looking forward to watching this group get after opposing teams. We hope you will come out to support our guys and continue to build a community of Pride around our young men.
