Tully returns to the Hawks this fall as one of the team's most dangerous playmakers, headlining a much-improved batch of skill position players. "This is the most athletes I've seen since I've been at the school, on one team, as one collective," said first-year head coach Josh Brewster, who previously served as an assistant since 2018. "The potential is there. We just have to unlock it."
