Key Stats: Broke an 18 game losing streak last season and won 3 games

2020 Offensive Outlook: Last year our Offense Featured a tall big armed quarterback with a good WR and we set some school records and our Receiver was one of the top WR in the area. However this year we return 8 starters and will be smaller at the QB position and the offense will be more option oriented with up paced tempo. We return 4 of 5 OL and our two top RB’s both return. For us to have success we must be able to adjust on the fly and check at the line of scrimmage to get into the correct play. We will have more experience this year but will miss our two biggest offensive weapons that graduated.

2020 Defensive Outlook: We will return 9 starters but will miss our leading tackler and our leading sacker from last year. However we return key players from last year and hope that our experience will help with maintaining gap integrity and get into correct coverage. We will attempt to change up our Defensive Front to try and put our players in better positions to make plays.

2020 Special Teams Outlook: We will have to solidify a kicker and punter for the year, we do return multiple returners off of last year along with snappers
