The Atlantic football team will have a strong number of guys to turn to for leadership in 2022. The Trojans return a lot of experienced players and have a large senior class of 22 players. Atlantic Head Coach Joe Brummer said the program overall has good numbers this year and that makes the possibilities for the team exciting.

Coach Brummer said another benefit to having their returning experience is the accountability that they naturally bring to each other.

On the defensive side of the ball the line of scrimmage should be a strength. Brenden Casey, Jarrett Armstrong, Miles Mundorf, Nathan Keiser, and Evan Sorensen all have starting experience on the line. All the starters in the linebacking core return as well with Logan Terrell, Colton Becker, Easton O’Brien, Tanner O’Brien, and Jackson McLaren. The secondary is where some shoes will need to be filled from last year but Coach Brummer said there are guys that have some experience and there as been good competition there. Coach Brummer said the offseason commitment has been good and they hope to be able to finish games stronger this season.
