The Andrews Mustangs have embarked on a new chapter under head coach Jason Richters for the 2026 season. Richters, who has been with the team for 11 years, including as defensive coordinator, brings a wealth of familiarity to the squad. As the Mustangs transition to a power-spread offensive system, Richters believes this new approach will capitalize on the team's athletic talent and offensive line.
The team will also eliminate two-platooning, with their top players expected to contribute on both sides of the ball. Junior quarterback Collin Kelley will lead the offense, while Jace Mendoza is set to play a larger role at receiver. Defensively, the Mustangs will maintain their established system, with senior linebacker Juan Bejarano expected to be a key leader.
Bejarano emphasizes leading by example and taking responsibility for his actions. Facing a tough district schedule in 2026, including the move of Greenwood to Division I, the Mustangs aim to compete for another district championship while establishing a new identity under Richters. The Mustangs are set to kick off the season on August 28 at home against Clint.
