Attention to details and doing all the little things will be the focus of Madeira in 2025. The Mustangs feel like they can do much better than finishing 6-6 and advancing to the second round of the playoffs like they did a year ago.

Sam Redlinger, Jr, WR/DB – Will be a three-year starter who already has 85 tackles, two forced fumbles, 12 pass breakups and four takeaways (two FRs, two INTs) in his career. Redlinger showed flashes of his offensive abilities with a touchdown reception against Mariemont as a sophomore.
Grayson Smith, Sr, DB – Came on as a starter the second half of last season. Smith had a game clinching interception against Finneytown and a key pick in the playoff win against Williamsburg.
Hayden Koch, Sr, DB – Teams with Smith and Redlinger to give the Mustangs a formidable veteran secondary. Koch tallied 40 tackles, 4.0 tackles for losses and three interceptions last fall.
NEWCOMERS
