2019 Offensive Outlook: The key to our offense will be our tempo and ability to take advantage of what defenses give us! We will be a team that will run the ball but will be throwing the ball to a very talented wide receiver and Tight end corps. We have a talented backfield as well led by TJ Roger’s at RB and Jr. FB Dajuan Harris at Full Back. We have a great veteran presence on the oline anchored by Lawrence Baldwin and a very physical senior Class on the Oline! Our offense has a great veteran presence and we look forward to capitalizing on their experience every time we step on the field!

2019 Defensive Outlook: This year our defense will be led by DT David Blay first team SOL as a sophmore! The secondary will led by Sr. Safety Tymar Willis. Our defenses sole purpose is to attack our opponents and cause organized chaos!

2019 Special Teams Outlook: We look to use our speed and skill to be successful in winning the field position game for our offense and defense!
