Nittan’s lions (2-0) believe it comes more of those moments.

Ross and foaming receivers Trebor Trebor Pena and Kiron Hudson led to strengthen constant turnover of 2022. Years. The trio is the more opportunity to build chemistry with Trievback on the first three weeks of the season.

It is stretching where past transfers did not fail.
