Key Stats: We graduated 12 seniors who all started or played significant time.
More than 12 freshman saw valuable time in 2019 to get game experience. Joneil Oister and Jared Hewitt started every game as freshman.

2020 Offensive Outlook: Offensively we must control the clock and be more fundamentally sound in all aspects of the game. We will need to find ways to get the ball in the hands of Jahzeel Watson and Joneil Oister who are both coming off of very successful seasons.

2020 Defensive Outlook: Veteran coach Dave Bodolus will be joining the staff and leading the defense this season. Defensively we graduated some outstanding players and will have to rely on teamwork, knowledge, and fundamentals to be fill those gaps. Watson, Oister, Hewitt, and Strimpel all have experience to give us a solid base.

2020 Special Teams Outlook: Watson and Oister will lead the special teams return game but we need to be more consistent in the kicking game.
