Special Team Starters Returning: (1)

Raphael Muldrow, Sr, PR/KR,

Key Newcomers: N/A

Key Stats: We won 7 games last year, the most wins since 2006.
Ryan Schreffler, RB, 136 carries, 929 yards, 11 TDs, Defense = 42 tackles, 3 sacks, 5 tfl
Raphael Muldrow, RB, 96 carries, 516 yards, 6 TDs Receiving = 15 rec, 321 yards, 4 TDs

2018 Offensive Outlook: We return our top 2 running backs (Schreffler and Muldrow) and our quarterback (Walker). I am expecting us to be able to pass the ball more effectively this year and to become a more versatile offensive unit. Michael Bilansky returns at tight end and I am expecting him to have a big year. Our offensive line made significant improvements in the weight room during the off season and they will be the key to our success.

2018 Defensive Outlook: Our defensive made vast improvements throughout the 2017 season. With a significant amount of starters returning, I am expecting them to continue to improve. Defensive leaders, Zachaeus Omlor and Ryan Schreffler return at linebackers and Hadrian Vaupel and Connor McNamara return on the defensive line. I believe that the strength of our defensive is our improved team speed.

2018 Special Teams Outlook: We lost our punter and kicker from last year. Finding a viable replacement for him will be a major concern for us this off season.
