Key Stats: Rushed for over 2000 yards last season

2019 Offensive Outlook: Maurcus McDaniel will return as a 3 year starter at QB who is a dangerous duel threat. He is complimented in the backfield with key contributors in Matt Bush, Malcolm Folk, Billy Adams and Brandon Cox. Paul McLaughlin and Dom Minicozzi return as 3 year contributors on the OL, we will lean on them to continue our commitment to the run.

2019 Defensive Outlook: Jake Phelan is very disruptive up front and we hope he among others can create some pressure to free up our strong second level group including Bush, Dibeneditto, Adams, Folk, Cox and Joe Graham.

2019 Special Teams Outlook: Max Pasternack, Nick Bates and Jake Jaszcz all pitched in last season in the kicking/punting duties. They all return this year. We hope to improve all aspects of this area and some better depth at the skills position should help us support these guys.
