2019 Offensive Outlook: We will return the majority of our offensive line and have a great group of skilled players. We return Kaleb Monaco who rushed for over 1700 yards last season and Lawson Bray who passed for over 1100 yards last season. Our receiving core in new this year but they have a ton of talent and can have a big impact on our offense this season.

2019 Defensive Outlook: The linebackers and secondary will be the strength of the defensive. We return all three of our linebackers from last year which include Josh Altemose, Preston Green and Ezekiel Concepcion. In the secondary we return 3 starters which include Kaleb Monaco, Deion Marshall, and TJ Armand. The key to our Defense this year is how quickly will our defensive front establish themselves as force and can effectively stop the run.

2019 Special Teams Outlook: We return 1st Team all conference returner Kaleb Monaco. So. Kicker Joel Weirich will take over the extra point and field goal duties this season.
