Head Coach: Daryle Heidelburg

2021 Record: 5-5

THE SCOOP

While they won three of their final four games a year ago, the Vikings found themselves digging out of a hole that they fell into early in the season.

Injuries and mistakes put this team behind early and often, and while they won’t dwell on what happened a year ago, this team can promise that things are changing for a team that has made some huge changes.

From new players to some new coaches, this is a program that has an opportunity to do some impressive things this coming season.

Being active in the off-season, having prospects standout at combines and 7-on-7 events have pumped some optimism into the talented program.

Here is a look at some of the personnel that have showcased some ability – in all classes - during the spring:
