“The program was 2-7 in 2021 and 0-9 in 2022,” said Morgan City assistant coach Hunter Perrin. “However, we have the lineman and size to compete.We just need to find some depth and stay healthy moving forward. I think we have a chance to make a big improvement and I think we can win five or six games in 2023. We are changing the culture and the program has been in a lot of close games. We played a lot of freshmen in 2022, which will help us moving forward too. The kids are hungry to change and win games moving forward.”

A lot of players will start both sides of the football for the Tigers in 2023.One of the few players who will just start one position will be three-year starter QB Thomas Mancuso (6-1, 210) who is a leader and is a three-sport athlete for the Tigers. The program does have some quality lineman in four-year starter OL/DL Ian Carmichael (6-4, 340) who is a big-time sleeper, DT/OG Dekhyri Cooks (6-0, 300), DE/TE Micah Wilkerson (6-2, 210), OT/DT Xyvon Jackson (6-1, 310), and senior LB/RB Matt Nugier (5-10, 210, 4.7 speed). The program also returns second-year starter WR/DB Kyron Dugas (6-2, 180), SS/FS Leo Torres 5-11 190 3 year starter tough kid, team captain senior LB/FB Bill Cao (5-7, 210), RB/SS Anthony Bourgeois 2nd year starter and a new starter in WR/DB Hayden Hebert (4.6 speed).
