CATOOSA INDIANS

Coach: SAL GUERRERO

4-6

OFFENSE

With a roster that combines youthful talent and senior leadership, Catoosa is determined to build on last year’s foundation. The Indians pride themselves on physicality in the trenches and relentless effort, a trademark Coach Guerrero and his staff—Joe Brown, Chase Stookey, Justin Beacham, Mason Russ, Andrew DeArmond, and Blake Davis—expect every snap. The Indians will feature a multiple-look offense anchored by a downhill running game. Center Timmy Taylor (5-10, 240, Sr.) and tackle Nathaniel McGuire (6-4, 220, Sr.) form the core of a line expected to set a physical tone up front. Their experience and toughness will be vital in controlling the line of scrimmage. Tight end JR Brown (6-2, 200, Jr.) offers versatility as both a blocker and a target in the passing game. His ability to seal the edge and create mismatches over the middle will open up options for the offense. Athlete Mathew Compton (6-0, 165, Jr.) brings speed and playmaking ability, capable of lining up in multiple spots to keep defenses guessing. In addition, Aiden Burns, a physical and fast two-way athlete, is expected to contribute significantly to the offense, while Evan Boulware adds explosive speed and reliable hands as a receiving threat.

With a balanced approach that blends power running and strategic passing, Catoosa plans to keep defenses off balance while wearing them down physically.

DEFENSE

On defense, Catoosa will rely on a hard-hitting front seven built around senior leadership and promising young talent. Defensive end Kyler Rogers (5-9, 230, Sr.) and linebacker Braxton Gregory (6-0, 220) bring toughness and experience, setting the standard for effort and physicality. Junior linebacker Tanner Tyler (5-11, 200, Sr.) will be a key contributor, flying to the football and providing stability in the middle of the defense. One of the most exciting additions is nose guard Jason Watkins (6-0, 225, Fr.), who impressed coaches in the spring with his size, quickness, and maturity beyond his years. He is expected to make an immediate impact on both sides of the ball and has a bright future ahead. With a commitment to swarming the football and never quitting, the Indians aim to be a defense that wears opponents down snap after snap.
