Productive Off-Season Has St. Cloud Ready

When the 2024 high school football season came to an end and veteran head coach Mike Short's St. Cloud Bulldogs finished 5-5 and missed the state playoffs, there was a feeling that if things were to turn around, it would have to be in the spring and summer.

With this program finishing behind Orlando Lake Nona in District 10-7A play, the work that was put in from December until the end of June was designed to ensure that this team would be playing in the post season.

With the addition of some new faces, who competed throughout the spring and into June – at camps, combines, 7-on-7 events and in daily conditioning, these is a positive feeling about 2025.

There are some impressive prospects ready to make an impact in all classes.

Here is a look at some of those prospects to watch:
