Quarterback Aidan Bouman's return is also a big reason why the Yotes remain the national spotlight ahead of the season. Here's our chat with the Minnesota native from media day:

Bouman has earned all sorts of praise for his play during his time as a Coyote, and returns to lead the team this Fall. He's coming off of an impressive campaign in which he finished with nearly a 69% completion percentage and 19 passing touchdowns.

The Coyotes open the season on Saturday, August 30th when they travel East to take on the Iowa State Cyclones in Ames.
