2020 Outlook: Despite an unprecedented off-season, we are ready to go! I am incredibly proud of the effort our team has displayed during this trying time.

Offense: Offensively, our line is one of the more experienced we have had in recent years. We return a 1st team All League QB and WR. At RB, we will have a solid rotation.

Defense: Defensively, we have experience at Dline and the Secondary. Our LB corps is the least experienced but there is talent.

Special Team: In terms of Special Teams, we have talented returners, however, we will need camp to evaluate who will emerge in the kicking game.
