Key Stats: Returning running back last year Dimitri Rojas rushed for over 1,100 yards last year as a sophomore.

2019 Offensive Outlook: The offensive keys for our success are to utilize key guys on offense. We need to make sure our offensive line learns the system. We have many young guys playing on the line along with limited skill players returning in crucial spots. It will be a year for offensive development across the board.

2019 Defensive Outlook: The defensive keys for our success are to make sure we are able to be physical up front and control the line of scrimmage. Our linebackers need to be able to flow to the ball and secondary play their coverage’s. Again, young group of athletes, many players last year received reps on the field.

2019 Special Teams Outlook: Our kicker is a returner. We need to make sure we are able to use our special teams for giving us good field position during the game.
