On Monday, the OVC-Bog South Football Association announced its 2025 Preseason Offensive Players to Watch with the season just over a month away 

Nate Glantz returns at quarterback for Lindenwood after a strong junior season. The Elkhorn, Neb. native threw for 2,333 yards and 17 touchdowns, while completing 59 percent of his passes a year ago. He also rushed for six more scores during the 2024 season.

Glantz will have his backfield mate Steve Hall next to him in 2025. The St. Louis, Mo. native had a breakout redshirt freshman season a year ago, running for 808 yards and five touchdowns, while averaging 7.3 yards per carry. As a result, he grabbed many postseason honors, including Big South-OVC Offensive Freshman of the Year, Phil Steele Conference Freshman of the Year, Honorable Mention AP FCS Freshman All-American, and FCS Central Freshman All-American.

Joining them on the offensive side of the ball is tight end Darrin Fugitt who caught 14 passes for 208 yards and two touchdowns a year ago. Rico Bond will look to take a big step forward this season as the St. Louis, Mo. native caught two passes and provided some big plays in the return game, averaging 17,8 yards per return. Gavin Hulet is the only returner on the offensive line in 2025, and he started all 12 games last season.
