Stanford Cardinal 2025 Outlook

Stanford enters the 2025 season under interim head coach Frank Reich, bringing renewed energy and a defensive overhaul. After four straight 3–9 seasons, Stanford hired co-DCs Andy Thompson and Bobby April and added a program-record 17 transfers, including cornerbacks Jordan Washington and Breylan Thompson, to address its historically porous pass defense.

At the helm on offense is transfer quarterback Ben Gulbranson (Oregon State), who brings experience and leadership after a strong résumé at Oregon State. Gulbranson could be a household name by the end of the 2025 season. With offensive coordinator Nate Byham returning six starters, there’s optimism that Stanford’s ground game will offer stability while the revamped defense gets tested early in Hawaii’s aerial scheme.

Hawaii Rainbow Warriors (2025)

Hawaii arrives in 2025 under fourth-year head coach Timmy Chang, buoyed by redshirt freshman quarterback Micah Alejado, whose dynamic late-season emergence sets high offensive expectations. Supported by a strong receiver group, highlighted by Pofele Ashlock and Nick Cenacle, and guided by new offensive coordinator Anthony Arceneaux, the Warriors aim to breathe life into their run-and-shoot identity despite concerns about offensive line and rushing depth.

On defense, coordinator Dennis Thurman brings continuity in the secondary and linebacker corps, though line turnover could limit their front-seven effectiveness. With their opener setting the tone, Hawaii appears poised for a potential rebound and bowl push, aided by a favorable schedule and budding quarterback play.
