Outlook 2024: It will be very important to build depth on both the offensive and defensive lines. These two position groups will determine our success this year. It all starts up front and our success at the other two levels will depend on play up front. We have a good group with experience and depth at the back two levels and there will be good competition for playing time in camp.
