(WDBJ) - The Blue Demons are gearing up for the 2024 season under new head coach Matt Herron. While it’s his first season at the helm, Herron is no stranger to this program, working under former head coach Alex Wilkens for six seasons as the offensive coordinator. The Blue Demons are also without a few familiar faces this year with top playmakers like do-it-all quarterback Tanner Evans now graduated. While there’s lots of new moving parts to this program, Herron said it’s just about figuring out how everyone fits into the puzzle. “We lost a bunch of good seniors last year, a bunch of players that multiple time all-state and played in a lot of big games, but we return a lot of folks that have played in a lot of games and have a lot of accolades,” said Herron. “So, it’s just finding out how everybody fits into the puzzle and how things work, and what makes us best as a team, and how does that accentuate and highlight the strengths of our individuals.”“Expectations are to come out strong,” said senior middle linebacker and receiver Josiah Ratley. “You know, same as the last few years, push it past playoffs, past second round. Even though we have a new coach, he’s doing great, and he’s fine. We’ll be all right.”“This team, we’re definitely young,” said senior wide receiver and edge rusher Donovan Richardson. “As I said, we have the best effort out of any team around here. Every team has players that leave, so we just got to do the same thing and keep on pushing.”</div></body>
