Folsom won't have long to wait for its biggest regular-season test. After opening against Cardinal Newman, the Bulldogs host Mission Viejo (Season preview) in a rematch of last year's only loss. This time, however, the game shifts to Northern California, forcing Mission Viejo to make the long trip instead of Folsom traveling south. Road trips to Sacred Heart Cathedral and Inderkum close out nonleague play before the Bulldogs begin Sierra Foothill League play against Rocklin. The league schedule also includes Granite Bay, Whitney, Oak Ridge, Del Oro and Jesuit. Oak Ridge again looks like Folsom's toughest league challenger after pushing the Bulldogs twice last season, but Folsom enters the year as the team to beat.

Brody Rudnicki — QB, 2027 Rudnicki enters his first full season as the starter after leading Folsom through the final two games of its championship run. He already has experience in the biggest moments and gives the Bulldogs stability at quarterback despite Lyons' graduation. Rob Larson — WR, 2027 The UCLA commitment finished his junior season with 82 receptions, 1,146 receiving yards and 18 touchdowns. He'll once again be the focal point of Folsom's passing game. EJ Coleman — LB/RB, 2027 Coleman topped 100 tackles during the championship season while contributing offensively. His versatility makes him one of the Bulldogs' most valuable returning players. Nick Wegner — LB, 2027 Wegner was one of Northern California's most productive linebackers in 2025 and returns to lead the defense alongside Coleman. Bronson Bambino — RB, 2028 After rushing for 454 yards as a sophomore, Bambino is expected to handle a larger workload this fall. Travis Beatty — WR/DB, 2027 Beatty contributed on both sides of the ball last season and should see an expanded role following several key graduations. Daniel Eagleton — DB, 2027 Eagleton gained valuable experience throughout the postseason and intercepted a pass in the state championship victory.
