After a historic 2025 season, Avon Old Farms will look to make history again this season. Jon Wholley’s squad features several key contributors from last season’s team. Quarterback Matt Baer, a James Madison commit headlined the returning senior class. Baer had a big season statistically and he is primed for an even bigger season this fall.

The Winged Beavers will play a competitive schedule once again this fall so we will get a good look at what they could be pretty early on.

Coach’s Quote: ” The 2026 off-season has been strong as the kids have been highly motivated and have worked hard to gel as each year presents a new challenge! We have a solid mix of returning impact players, incoming impact players and young risers. We are excited to repeat the process and work diligently to be the best we’re capable of becoming in compete against a highly competitive schedule as I think this year the founders league is as good as it has been in a long time.”
