Trenton High School Football Season Preview

Head Coach Josh Shipman and the Trenton Tigers are gearing up for the 2025 football season with a strong emphasis on building strength and explosiveness. While the team returns key skill players, they face the challenge of replacing the entire offensive line. Offseason Focus: Strength & Explosiveness Weight Room Work – The primary focus has been building strength, power, and explosiveness to prepare players for a more physical season. Position-Specific Training – While skill players are refining speed and agility, the coaching staff is developing new linemen to step into starting roles. Roster Updates: Key Departures & Returning Talent Departures: The entire offensive line graduated, requiring a full rebuild in the trenches. Returning Standouts: Nolan Yowell (JR, QB) – A returning starting quarterback who has made significant strength gains this offseason. Jaden Keys (JR, RB) – Last year’s leading rusher, now stronger and faster, ready to carry the load offensively. With all skill players returning, the offense has the potential to be dynamic—if the new line can provide protection and open running lanes. Biggest Challenge: Rebuilding the Offensive Line Developing new starters for the O-line will be the biggest hurdle heading into the season. The coaching staff is focusing on fundamentals, footwork, and game experience to get the new linemen up to speed quickly. Success in the trenches will be the key factor in how far this team can go. What’s Next? Tournaments, Camps & Offseason Events – No details yet, but attending summer camps and linemen-specific training could be crucial for development. Weight Lifting & Fitness – A continued emphasis on strength training and explosiveness will prepare players for the physical demands of the season. Coaching Adjustments – Coaches are likely tweaking offensive strategies to support the new line while maximizing the strengths of their experienced skill players. With returning leaders in key positions and a dedicated coaching staff, the Trenton Tigers are poised to take on the challenge of rebuilding and competing at a high level in 2025!
