The Mustangs must replace a senior-heavy offensive core, including quarterback Maddox O’Neal (2,488 passing yards, 34 TDs), running backs Landon Newman (1,149 yards, 16 TDs) and Dawson Hayden (613 yards), plus receiver Reed Brookshire (29 catches, seven TDs). In all, graduated players accounted for 2,609 passing yards, 1,887 rushing yards and 1,230 receiving yards. Still, there is considerable firepower back in the Mustangs stable. Junior receiver Jakari Matchem returns after a huge sophomore season of 80 receptions, 1,239 yards and 21 touchdowns, while fellow junior Jude Lanier adds 55 catches for 816 yards and six scores. Cole Presswood, now a sophomore, threw for 304 yards and seven touchdowns in nine games. Defensively, seniors Charlie Higdon (80 tackles, 11.5 TFL), Elijah Pullen (34 tackles, 11.5 TFL) and Max Sturm (56 tackles) headline the returners. Kicker Brock Wilson was nearly automatic, converting 61 of 67 PATs and six of eight field goals. “We need all the young guys, along with the old guys, to get together and make something happen,” Wilson said. “It’s a new team, new year, and I think we’re all ready for big things.” WRITTEN BY ERIC CHUMBLER PASSING YPG IN 2025: 232.6 RUSHING YPG IN 2025: 211.9
