Briar Cliff Football Head Coach Shane LaDage announced the four captains representing The Cliff for the 2025 season.
 
"Our four captains for this fall are exceptional in the classroom, the community, and on the field of play. Combined, they carry nearly a 4.0 GPA and have been some of our most productive players over the course of their individual careers," said LaDage. "They earned this honor by their work throughout the off-season, combined with their leadership skills and commitment to the team over themselves. Additionally, they are individuals that I trust will give me real and honest feedback that will help move our program forward. I am excited to see these four lead us on the field this fall!"
 
The Defensive captains consist of Johnny Bauser and Max Rascon Jr., while on offense Brock Saya and Steven Whiting were named captains.
 
Bauser, a senior from Lincoln, California, has been voted captain three times during his career and started nine games at linebacker for the Chargers last fall. He recorded 19 tackles with one tackle-for-loss, a pass breakup, and a fumble recovery.
 
Rascon Jr, a senior from Stockton, California, appeared in 11 games and registered 33 tackles and half-a-sack last fall. He also recorded one interception.
 
Saya, a redshirt junior from Johnstown, Colorado, has been voted captain twice during his career. The Honorable Mention All-GPAC selection from a season ago made seven starts at quarterback at threw for 1.512 yards and tossed 16 touchdowns to just six interceptions. Saya ranked tied for third in passing touchdowns in the conference last season.
 
Whiting, a senior from Lodi, California, was named first-team All-GPAC at tight end last fall and hauled in 31 catches for 366 yards and five receiving touchdowns. Whiting was also named a Victory Sports Network All-American last fall.
 
The Chargers open the season this Saturday, as they host the St. Ambrose Fighting Bees at Memorial Field at 6 p.m.
