2023 Returning Player Stats:

2023 Offensive Outlook: We have an experienced, seasoned QB in Jordey Guzman who was an All EPC North 1st team selection in 2022. Combined with RB Mekhi Ashby and newcomer RB Marcus Morales and we have the potential for an explosive run game. Jonathan Serrano is a deep threat on the outside with Eli Dalrymple providing steady hands from the slot. Newcomers on the offensive line Nate Levy and Omar Torres come with plenty of playing experience and rising sophomore lineman Jayden Suarez is as physical as any sophomore I have seen in years. Erik Bollivar returns to the offensive line as well. The key to our season is to limit turnovers, create explosive plays and control the clock.

2023 Defensive Outlook: Our defense is loaded with speed and experience. Mekhi Ashby, Marcus Morales, Jonathon Serrano, Jaydin Haynes, Ayden Hernandez, Eli Dalrymple, Akeam Baron, Jelani Anderson Lopez, Nate Levy, Bam Modesti, Omar Torres, Juan Manzano, Akir Dixon, Riyell Wann bring speed, aggressiveness, and experience to our defense. We need to create turnovers, limit big plays and get the ball back to our offense in order to be successful.

2023 Special Teams Outlook: Return men Mekhi Ashby and Marcus Morales give us a scoring threat at any time. Kickers are locked in a battle for various spots. field position from our special teams is critical to our success. We have devoted extra time this offseason to special teams.
