2020 Offensive Outlook: Offensively, our focus will remain the same – Consistency. We want to control tempo, take care of the football and limit mental errors. We feel good about the kids returning. Joe Kerbacher will be the leader and he has a good supporting cast. Hubert, Cruz, Baker, Luisi, and Harris are all capable runners and receivers. We have a good competition at the WR position now. Our Offensive Line returns four linemen (Nelson, Schucker, Cavallo, Schweitzer) who all played considerable time last season. We have some nice size kids competing for the 5th spot.

2020 Defensive Outlook: Defensively we return a quality front 7 with lots of experience (Nelson, Baker, Schweitzer, Cavallo, Schucker, Raub, Perl, Hubert, and Sharga). We have some holes to fill in the secondary but feel good about the kids competing for positions. Our focus on Defense will be the same – tackling. We want to run to the football, play physical, and avoid mental mistakes.

2020 Special Teams Outlook: Aidan Reinhart is a 4 star kicker. He holds several kicking school records. We feel He will be a real weapon for us this season.
