After a 2-7 season the year before, the Campus Colts secured their second win in a season in over five years. For seniors like receiver and defensive back Camden Schroeder, they are ready to leave the program better than when they got there.
“As a senior leader, I have to be a role model for the younger guys to get them on board with the new culture we are trying to start,” Schroeder said. “I constantly have to have positive body language because body language can tell other players, coaches, and spectators everything.”
Campus’ new regime will start under head coach Cody Peabody, as he will lean on Schroeder and the rest of the upperclassmen.
“Playing with Coach Peabody has been nothing but amazing,” Schroeder said. “I love everything he is doing, and what he’s trying to do with our community is something special. Coach Peabody really emphasizes that there are no excuses and that everything is high-tempo. He’s bringing a different type of coaching than we seniors are used to, and every single one of us loves it. So I am really excited to see what type of noise we can make this year.”
With the new coaching brand, the AVCTL-1 honorable mention running back will be looking to build off his 6.7 yards per carry and continue to compete at a high level.
“My own personal goals for this year are to earn all-league honors and to help lead our younger guys in starting to turn our football organization around,” Schroeder said. “Some team goals I have is to turn some heads this year as a team, as I feel like we have a totally different mindset on how we approach things, whether it be workouts or tough practices, be more competitive in games, and scratch some more games under the win column.”
