To say that Moeller is rich with talent would be an understatement. Despite graduating two of the last three Ohio Mr. Football winners, the Crusaders return an offensive line that would make most college coaches envious, a junior class that has patiently waited in the wings to prove itself on Friday nights and a trio of Class of 2029 members that are already amongst the nations most highly recruited and exciting sophomore’s to be.
Filling the void at quarterback is the biggest obstacle the Big Moe faces. Whomever wins the job won’t have to put all the weight on their shoulders in order for the offense to be productive. The unit has more than its share of skill position players who are capable of easing that burden.
Moeller is built for November football in the trenches on both sides of the ball. It will be one of this squad’s best attributes. The Crusaders will be a favorite to win its fifth regional title in the last six years. They should expect nothing less.
