D1 (FBS & FCS) Prospects: Matt Palubinsky is getting some one day camp opportunities from Temple, Boston College and Villanova this summer. The outcomes of those camps will give us a good indication where he will be able to play.
Key Stats: Ian Brown QB 889 passing yards 6 TDS 75 -169 12 ints.
Matt Palubinsky 38 receptions 440 yards 1 td and 4 total TDS.
2015 Outlook: The keys to the 2015 will be the productivity of the Offense which we were so inefficient last season. The offensive line play will be the key to running our spread offense. We will have only two starters back from an offensive line that struggled with the new schemes last year.
Troy Rossman will go into camp fighting for the starting position. He will he tested by newcomers Dominic Nattle and Isiah Johnson.
The running back position is a strength which is loaded with 4 potential very athletic starters Matt Garcia ( transfer from Texas) , Kyle Bennick, Zeke Vinson, and Jonavin County.
Our WR position is also loaded with some nice athletes that have a lot of attributes. We have some nice size and speed. Matt Palubinsky, Nasir Green, Matt Raniszwski, Shyeim Abernathy and Ian Brown switching to receiver full time give us plenty of weapons.
It will fall on the offensive line to get some movement upfront.

Surprised nothing was said about Matt Branch. Started as a sophomore and played well. Can’t wait to see what he does this year, could even come out with an offer or two.
