Key Player Matchups
QB Connor White (NWU) vs. Coe Secondary
White enters his second year as starter, expected to take a step forward. His ability to stretch the field will test Coe’s defensive backs.
RB Trystin Myers (NWU) vs. Coe Front Seven
Myers, a former All-A-R-C back, returns healthy and could be the difference-maker if he finds rhythm.
QB Nate Larson (Coe) vs. NWU Pass Rush
Larson has been efficient but must avoid turnovers against a Prairie Wolves defense that has shown improved pressure.
WR Joey McLaughlin (NWU) vs. Coe Corners
McLaughlin is a breakout candidate after scoring 3 TDs on just 9 catches in 2024.
