2020 Offensive Outlook: We return 4/5 Offensive linemen. We are excited about our front. Returning our QB and our backup QB helps because this will be their 3rd and 2nd full season in the offense. To have success we will have to have the players who are replacing the seniors set up fast. If they do that then we should be alright.

2020 Defensive Outlook: We return our whole defensive line and bring back two out of the four linebackers. That is huge for us having most of our front back. It is very similar to the offense we need to get the guys in the secondary up to speed to help our front out. We have many guys who will compete for time and we will have to find the right group we are looking for. Also, we need to find our other two linebackers and we may need to do linebacker by committee until someone steps up.

2020 Special Teams Outlook: We return both our Kicker and Punter so we are good at both positions. But we will need to find our return guys.
