2017 Offensive Outlook: We return an experienced backfield with Isaac Gensemer and Jack Schechterly. The offensive line will have good size and agility. The key to our offense will be the ability of our OL to move the line of scrimmage and run the football. Our passing game will be much improved with key skilled players returning.

2017 Defensive Outlook: We return 9 starters on defense which includes all our LBs and 3 of 4 in our secondary. We expect our defense to be stingy and create turnovers. The key to this unit will be our DL controlling the line of scrimmage.

2017 Special Teams Outlook: Justin Thivierge will return as our punter. Parker Vance returns with some varsity kicking experience. With several young athletic players, our special team units will be able to change games and be a great advantage for us.
