2019 Record: 3-7

Key Starters Lost: Henry Hill-RB/LB; Jalen Smith-RB/LB; Matt Brown-OL/DL; Ian Bustard-OL/DL; Richard Bardone-QB

Defensive Starters Returning: (3) Jr. S Josiah Leonard, 5’8″, 150; Sr. LB Adrian Desimone, 6′, 215, Terrel Roane, 5’8″, 285

Special Team Starters Returning: (0)

Key Newcomers: Jr. QB/WR Allen Myers, 6’4″, 140; So. QB/DB Aidan Clancy, 5’10”, 160; Jr. OL/DL Nashier Carter, 5’9″, 280

2020 Offensive Outlook: The first key to the Owls’ offense will be the development of a new starting QB. Jr. Allen Myers and So. Aidan Clancy will battle it out for the top spot. Luckily both are good athletes and whoever the backup is will possibly play WR, as well. The next key for the Owls will be the development of the OL. We lost two 2 year starters in Matt Brown and Ian Bustard to graduation and that void is huge.

2020 Defensive Outlook: The Owls will have decent size up front and plenty of athleticism on the back end but the key will be finding LBs. Right now that is an area of great concern.

2020 Special Teams Outlook: The Owls expect one of several soccer players to contribute to the football team in various ways.
