Up front, Scott Jordan returns as the reigning Middle Atlantic Conference Freedom (MAC Freedom) Rookie of the Year and Second Team All-MAC Freedom selection. Returners at forward this season include Logan Watkins, Giacomo Vacchio, Caden Lausch, Devin Schmitt, and Aaron Deskin return, while junior transfer Elijah Kaba and first-year Van Walters will look to jump in during his inaugural season.
