Old Dominion Monarchs prep for a potential Sun Belt breakout as Ricky Rahne’s squad eyes another high-powered run in 2026.

With dynamic quarterback Colton Joseph out and speedster Quinn Henicle likely taking the reins, can ODU’s offense stay explosive under new OC Kody Cook?

Dave Schultz breaks down the Monarchs’ transformation, the impact of key departures, and why the East division may be more wide open than ever.

Key matchups include a revenge test against Virginia Tech, pivotal home games versus James Madison and Marshall, and critical late-season road showdowns at Coastal Carolina and UConn.

Schultz projects ODU’s season path, explores how quarterback stability could be the difference-maker, and questions if a hot start could launch the Monarchs into the Top 25 conversation.

Will Rahne bolt for a bigger job if ODU posts back-to-back 10-win seasons?

Get the latest analysis on the Monarchs’ quest for Sun Belt supremacy.
