OFFENSE

The Apache Warriors enter 2025 with a young team and a good mix of veteran, talented leaders ready to set the tone. Offensively, Apache will operate out of the spread option, a dynamic and adaptable scheme that demands flawless execution, controls the tempo, and consistently puts playmakers in positions to dominate and succeed. Senior running back Dayton Scott (5-10, 175) will be one of the most reliable weapons in the attack. His experience and vision give the offense a steady presence in the backfield, capable of breaking off big runs or picking up tough yards inside. Senior receiver Jason Walker (5-10, 165) will stretch the field with his speed and ability to create separation, giving the passing game a dangerous vertical element. Sophomore Grant Brown (6-3, 170) brings versatility to the offense as both a quarterback and wide receiver. His length, athleticism, and poise make him a valuable piece who can line up in multiple spots and keep defenses guessing. Up front, Apache will lean on junior tackle Zane Carroll (6-3, 230) to anchor the line alongside sophomore guard Angel Clark (5-10, 220), whose physicality and work ethic have already stood out in offseason workouts. With a blend of veteran leadership and emerging talent, the Warriors believe their spread option attack will be a difference-maker this season.

DEFENSE

On defense, Apache will line up in a 3-4 alignment built on relentless pursuit, disciplined gap control, and adaptable pressure designed to disrupt opposing offenses. Senior Luke McNeill (6-2, 260) will set the tone up front on the defensive line with his strength and experience. Freshman defensive end Terell Ivy (6-4, 210) is an exciting young prospect with the length and athleticism to become an impact player right away. At linebacker, sophomore Jake Ferrell (6-0, 210) will be a force in the middle, bringing toughness and a nose for the football. On the edge, sophomore AJ Satepaulhoodl (5-9, 170) provides speed and energy as an outside linebacker. With this combination of youth and leadership, the Warriors expect to be a disciplined, aggressive defensive unit in 2025.
