Logan Bonnett, senior: "Logan's a stud. He'll be a three-year starter for us. This will be his first time starting on defense as a linebacker. Will be, obviously, a key two-way guy for us. Kind of the tone-setter, physical, emotional guy, plays hard, works his tail off. Lead-by-example kind of guy."

workouts July 18.

Sawyer Moseley, senior: "Sawyer is going to be kind of the anchor in the trenches. He'll be a returning starter, as well. on both sides of the ball. Will be a key guy. We're going to ask a lot of him. But he's the guy who can kind of carry that load on the line, and look for a big season from him."

with receivers July 18.

Jackson Diehl, senior: "Diehl's been a phenomenal leader this offseason. Obviously, he's a returning quarterback. We're asking him to do a lot on the football field, not just be quarterback, be an athlete. So in the offseason, he's lined up as a receiver, catching touchdowns, throwing touchdowns. So he's going to be that slash guy who can do a lot for us. And obviously just a captain, leader of the team."

Hank Hansen, junior: "Hank's a stud. He had a breakout year last year as a sophomore. He's also a stud baseball player, too, so just a dynamic athlete. His brother (Dane) has come through the program, so I have known the family a long time. A great attitude, whatever he can do for the team, and again, will have a big year. He's playing some defense for us this year for the first time, as well."

Plus one--"someone you'll be hearing a lot about":

Carson Diehl, sophomore: "Carson's a talented kid. He's had a heck of an offseason. We knew he was going to be a talented kid."
