After coming off their first losing season since 2008, the Raiders are looking to get back to their winning ways under second year Head Coach, Garrett Bagley. Senior QB Roman Marshall will lead the way on offense behind an offensive that returns four starters (Payton Robinson, Zeaven Jones, Kyle Hughes and Jered Hoyla). Brody Powers and Connor Hamblin return as wide receiver threats and they will be joined by Marquez White. Look for production out of the tight ends as well; junior Walker Bridges and sophomore Tucker Williams. Curtis Sanders and Xylon Subido should get the bulk of the carries for the Raider rushing attack.
Their will be a lot of new faces on the defensive side of the ball as Navarre will be led by returning starters; DL Bryce Wheeler, LBs Roan Strom and Brayden Thiessen, and DBs Zeke Burgess and Jayden Jones. Junior Jack Beyer will handle kicking duties and Jacob Bishop will return for his second year as the Raiders punter.
