There is a simplicity to what Goddard’s Landon Kohlhorst is most looking forward in 2024.

“I am most excited to be back in the atmosphere of playing on Friday nights this season,” Kohlhorst said.

Kohlhorst has every reason to be excited for football to be back.

The second team all-league defensive back recorded 49 tackles and three interceptions – one of which was returned for a touchdown. Kohlhorst was one of the reasons the Lions won the AVCTL Division II title.

“My person goal is to have 60-puls total tackles this season,” Kohlhorst said. “As a team I want to win the league title again.”

While Kohlhorst’s statistics from last year are impressive, it didn’t stop the senior from working on specific skills that could make him even better this year.

Whether it was working with the coaching staff or analyzing each game, Kohlhorst made it point to find his weaknesses and turn them into strengths.

“In the offseason I have went to our team camps as well as worked on technique and footwork with my defensive backs coach,” Kohlhorst said. “This season I want to improve my ball skills. I worked on this in the offseason by running one on one and watching last season’s film to see what I can work on through that.”
