The QB picture is unclear at the moment, but whoever lines up to take snaps will have plenty to work with around him. Returning at the skill positions are [player_tooltip player_id='488214' first='Michael' last='Voichoskie'], [player_tooltip player_id='923426' first='Laitenn' last='Braithwait'], [player_tooltip player_id='1581446' first='Conrad' last='Renteria'], [player_tooltip player_id='488216' first='Jaeston' last='Delano'], and [player_tooltip player_id='1683777' first='Evvann' last='Daniels'], all of whom should also play a big role on the defensive side of the ball as well. Columbus' biggest test will be in Week 2 when they travel to Class A powerhouse Omaha Westside. Their final three-game stretch will also be tough, facing playoff teams in Lincoln East, Kearney, and Millard North.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Key Players:</em> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1581446' first='Conrad' last='Renteria'] (2026), WR/DB - 6'2" 175 lbs</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17944584/67ee8a05964f49f570bc0e76' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-688c47df41bc6"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='488216' first='Jaeston' last='Delano'] (2026), LB/RB - 6'1" 200 lbs </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17947205/671f09674d23b448446634ca' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-688c47df41bf4"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='923426' first='Laitenn' last='Braithwait'] (2026), WR/DB - 5'10" 160 lbs </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17944638/6727e9b8bf323254c1866d39' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-688c47df41c15"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='488214' first='Michael' last='Voichoskie'] (2026), RB/LB - 6'1" 210 lbs </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1683777' first='Evvann' last='Daniels'] (2028), RB - </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/23188104/6801b8302848258a1f2d8349' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-688c47df41c35"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1656601' first='Xavien' last='Lopez Long'] (2028), WR/ATH -</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Notable Losses:</em> Adam Cruise (OL), Connor Kallweit (LB/WR), Cooper Buxton (DL/OL), and Tyler Zwingman (LB/WR).</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">Kearney</span></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>2024 Record:</em> 10-2* </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>2025 Schedule:</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Week 1 - North Platte (A)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Week 2 - Grand Island (H)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Week 3 - Millard South (H)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Week 4 - Omaha North (A)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Week 5 - Lincoln East (A) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Week 6 - Papillion-La Vista South (H) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Week 7 - Millard North (H) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Week 8 - Columbus (A)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Week 9 - Omaha Bryan (H)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Breakdown:</em> The Bearcats will have a tough task of replacing a very talented 2025 class that included two FBS signees.

Kearney will face a tough road to the playoffs, featuring a Week 2 matchup with rival Grand Island, the state champions in Millard South in Week 3, and then four consecutive playoff teams in Omaha North, Lincoln East, Papio South, and Millard North. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Key Players:</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1644033' first='John' last='Florell'] (2026), LB - 6'2" 200 lbs</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/18868700/673b7a811216e129528a332d' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-688c47df41c59"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1625821' first='Levi' last='Pofahl'] (2026), RB - 5'11" 200 lbs </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17674557/66ef45805c583c944d75f21f' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-688c47df41c78"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1113977' first='Zach' last='Wulf'] (2026), DL/OL - 6'2" 240 lbs</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17677167/672112f7814291000a349138' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-688c47df41c97"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1085100' first='Adrick' last='Teichmeier'] (2027), RB/LB - 6'1" 180 lbs </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Notable Losses:</em> Carson Baker (DB), Griffin Novacek (QB), Jake Kracl (K), Josh Dolence (WR/DB), Reese Bertrand (LB), Ryan Meier (LB), Sawyer Schilke (LB), Turner Bertrand (OL), and Zaire Lagrone (ATH).</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">Lincoln East</span></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>2024 Record:</em> 5-5*</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>2025 Schedule:</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Week 1 - Elkhorn South (A)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Week 2 - North Platte (H) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Week 3 - Grand Island (A)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Week 4 - Lincoln Southwest (A)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Week 5 - Kearney (H) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Week 6 - Millard North (A)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Week 7 - Columbus (H)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Week 8 - Omaha Bryan (A) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Week 9 - Lincoln Southeast (H)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Breakdown:</em> The Spartans are ready to take the next step this fall after making the playoffs with a rather young team. Now, they return a good core of players at valuable positions. At the top is returning QB [player_tooltip player_id='1625851' first='Ryan' last='Manning'] who will provide continuity to the offense after throwing for 1,496 yards and 16 touchdowns last season. He will have a great weapons and protection surrounding him. RB [player_tooltip player_id='1309282' first='Kyle' last='Campbell'], WR [player_tooltip player_id='1114429' first='Landen' last='Lingenfelter'], and OL [player_tooltip player_id='1105174' first='Connor' last='Dews'] will all be impact players on offense. The defense should be pretty stout with [player_tooltip player_id='487753' first='Elijah' last='Gutz'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1603566' first='Parker' last='Johnson'] providing pressure off the edge with [player_tooltip player_id='1114428' first='Dominic' last='Velasquez'], [player_tooltip player_id='795474' first='Zander' last='Zuniga'], [player_tooltip player_id='644078' first='Colton' last='Tucker'], and [player_tooltip player_id='1085162' first='Will' last='Manning'] bringing the physicality from the backend. The Spartans' schedule is bookended by some big matchup that will have playoff implications when they open against Elkhorn South and close against Lincoln Southeast.
