2020 Offensive Outlook: This year we are making slight tweaks to our offensive scheme that will showcase our playmakers more to allow us to be more explosive and control the clock more. With a big strong offensive line, we look to use our strength to lead our team. A lot of returning experienced varsity players look to push the offense to success.

2020 Defensive Outlook: This year we are making slight tweaks to our defense. The group will be aggressive and look to make plays all over the field. We look to replace a 3 year defensive leader in Raejon Benjamin. We have a experience in the secondary and along the defensive line.

2020 Special Teams Outlook: Returning both kickers who are coming back stronger and ready to lead the league. We have a dynamic kick returner that can always give us good field position to start the offense.
