The St. Thomas Bobcats come into this game with an explosive offense led by their star quarterback, Keely Watson. Watson has been a force to be reckoned with, amassing an impressive 2,210 yards passing on 124 completions in the 2023 season. His precision and ability to read defenses will be key factors in the Bobcats' offensive strategy.

Backing up the passing game is the dynamic running back, Rontavious Farmer, who has bulldozed his way through opposing defenses, accumulating an outstanding 1,358 yards rushing and an incredible 20 touchdowns in 2023. Farmer's power and agility make him a constant threat in the backfield.

Watch out for the triple threat of receivers, C'quan Jnopierre, David Hayes, and Khalitri Zow, all of whom earned well-deserved spots on the Sun Conference all-conference team. Their combined skill sets and chemistry with Watson have made the Bobcats' passing game a formidable challenge for any defense.

Defensively, the Bobcats boast the tackling machine Kendall Wilson II, who set a new record in 2023 with an impressive 100 tackles. His ability to stop the run and make crucial tackles will be crucial in containing Reinhardt's offense. Additionally, keep an eye on Nicholas Engler, the defensive player of the year, who has consistently disrupted opposing offenses all season.

On the other side of the field, the Reinhardt Eagles bring a solid running game and a quality quarterback to the matchup. Their strength lies in their defense, one of the best in the NAIA, suggesting that this game will be decided in the trenches. The battle at the line of scrimmage will likely be intense, with both teams vying for control and dominance.
