With 22 lettermen and 14 starters back from an 8-3 team last season, Brady has lots of reasons for optimism heading into the 2025 season.

One of the biggest is the return of third-year starter Sean Jacoby at quarterback.

After struggling through his first season as a sophomore, Jacoby was a model of consistency last fall, completing 61 percent of his passes for 1,117 yards with a 14-to-4 touchdown-to-interception ratio while adding 505 yards and six more scores on the ground. Coming off that effort with now two years of experience under his belt, the 6-foot-1 senior is looking to continue that progression in his last go-round for the Bulldogs.
