Key Stats: Return some players with experience that we will lean on heavily to be successful. We will also feature a lot of younger guys who seen a lot of playing time last season.

2017 Offensive Outlook: Second season running the Wing-T. Have to replace some key positions to be successful. Return some speed and size and could see different version of our offense.

2017 Defensive Outlook: We NEED to be better defensively. Gave up a lot of points last season that we are focusing on cutting down on. Will use multiple fronts to try and cause some confusion for the offense.

2017 Special Teams Outlook: Return our very explosive kick returners this season. Have a few soccer players who have been practicing kicking this off season to help us in the kicking game. Very strong legged kids to help pin the ball within the 5 yard line.
