The Sea Devils are looking for the league title after two seasons reaching the championship game without a win.

Preseason

Shortly after the loss in the Championship Game 2022, the two defensive cornerstones Miguel Book and Kasim Edebali left the organization. [1] Other defensive and offensive talent left the franchise to other teams in the ELF or to the Orlando Guardians of the resurrected XFL. [2] The first big signing of the new season came with Preston Haire, OBU Bison Quarterback and participant of the New Orleans Saints minicamp. [3]
