PLAYERS TO WATCH 💪
KALEB GORDON
A senior defensive back and running back, Gordon has offers from Division III Hampden-Sydney (Va.) and NAIA Kentucky Christian. He rushed for 648 yards and two touchdowns on 135 carries last fall while making 25 tackles and breaking up four passes on defense.
CAMDEN MOYSI
A junior receiver and defensive back, Moysi was an Ohio Cardinal Conference honorable mention selection last fall. His 21-yard touchdown reception against Mansfield Senior last fall sparked a 16-6 victory and he had a pair of TD grabs in Madison’s win over Wooster. Moysi also took snaps at quarterback during the preseason.
CRYSTAL BALL 🔮
Madison athletic officials believe they have found the coach who can turn the program around after a decade’s worth of frustration. Madison product Kobi Johnson is young and energetic and his enthusiasm is infectious. It may not happen overnight, but the Rams are pointed in the right direction.
