What to know for 2023
The Hornets return a strong core for the 2023 season after making a run to the fourth round in 2022. Paluseo returns as one of the area’s best quarterbacks, and Johnson is among the area’s best two-way players. Dickson rushed for 874 yards last season and Jayden Johnson totaled 49.5 tackles and five PBU. The Hornets, though, do have some rebuilding to do on the offensive line with four starters graduating, but Steinbruck is confident they should be ready for the season.
Coach Chris Steinbruck on the 2023 season
“I feel like offensively if we find some of those kids to step up on that offensive line we could be even better than we were last year and we were pretty explosive on offense. Defensively … we’ve got some really, really good skill position players. For us the game is won up front and we are going to have some guys step up and fill those big shoes on the offensive and defensive lines.”
