2021 Outlook: Our defense is the strength of our team. A unit that posted 3 shutouts in the spring season, will be looking to add some depth to each position. Off-season workouts have been very well attended and the team has developed a great chemistry.

Offense: Jacob Hull will be stepping up into the QB role leading the Eagles in an uptempo attack.  Off-season depth in the offensive line should allow enough time for the speedy experienced skill position crew to wreak havoc on opposing defenses.

Special Team: Senior Pete Vertoudis has stepped into the PK position and can hit 40 yard FG’s consistently.  Tyler McClain and Jon Cebollero are dangerous to kick to.
