D1 (FBS & FCS) Prospects: Kody Kegarise & Gunnar Royer

Key Stats:

2015 Specail Teams: Kick-offs 69 of 77 touchbacks

2015 Defense: +17 in turnover ratio

2015 Offense: QB, Kody Kegarise rushed for 833 yards and threw for 1,402 yards

2015 Outlook: Please let us know the keys about your team on offense, defense and special teams. What are your keys to having a successful year?

Offense: We have good leadership returning on offense with our QB, Center, OG, OT, and 2 Wr’s back. We will have to lean on them while our RB’s emerge.

Defense: We have one full year under our belt in our defensive scheme, I feel good about our learning curve and where we are at, at this point. Being solid tacklers and pursuit to the ball are keys to any good defense and we will place a major emphasize on it as well as turnover ratio.

Special Team: We have a big void to fill left by Derek Adams. We may have to use three different kids to do it and we will have to place a special emphasis on our coverage.
