The Adel-Desoto-Minburn Tigers have a lot of talent on the offensive side of the ball with a good QB in Tate Stine-Smith, a good running back in Justice Paulsen, and good offensive lineman all coming back as well. One of the big keys for the Tigers will be finding players that will be able to step up on the outside, as they lost some big production from key players on their team last year due to graduation.

Nate Conrad and Zach Fuller both graduated, and their production will be missed between the two with 77 catches, 1,115 receiver yards, and 14 touchdowns between the two players. They both usually lined up on the outside, and did a great job of getting open and creating big plays for the Tigers.

That said, the cupboard is far from empty for this Tigers team. They will be bringing back junior Lucus Ray, who led the team in catches with 50, and also added 504 yards and two touchdowns as well. They also have some good other athletes listed on their roster as well in Cole Williamson, Ty Hook, Grant Garton, Owen Higgins, and David Finnegan.

ADM will have a great talent in Ray and lots of guys who should contribute for wide receiver, but they will need to step up quick due to a shorter season, and a district that is expected to be tough as well. ADM will scrimmage against Oskaloosa tomorrow in Adel at 7 o’clock.
