2016 Offensive outlook: (Please let us know the keys about your team on offense. What are your keys to having a successful year?)

Keeping our QB healthy and find three lineman to fill starting roles.

2016 Defensive Outlook: (Please let us know the keys about your team on defense. What are your keys to having a successful year?)

Fill graduation losses with quality guys. Stay healthy and tackle well.

2016 Special Teams Outlook: (Please let us know the keys about your team on special teams. What are your keys to having a successful year?)

We are solid with our long snapper and holder, but will need new kicker Justin Barlup, JR, 5’8″, 145 to develop so we can have another solid kicker.
Our return game should be in good hands as Eli Goodling will return kicks again this year. Need to find a punter.
