Key Stats:

2017 Offensive Outlook: New QB in either Tyler Keyser or Tyler Weber needs to replace three-year starter Zeke Hallma, but they should have lots of weapons in the skill positions in Whary, Tutolo, Kendra and Stephen. Eliminate the mental errors and stay healthy and on the field and we should have a very nice offensive group.

2017 Defensive Outlook: Overall depth on defense will be an issue as we will have many two-way starters. But the LB and secondary crew is very experienced and should be ready to make improvements from last year.

2017 Special Teams Outlook: Finding a replacement for Hallman who handled punting and kicking duties will be a challenge, but return man Tyrese Reid should provide some excitement in the return game.

League Rankings: PAC 10: Spring-Ford, Perk Valley, Pottsgrove, Upper Perkiomen, Owen J. Roberts/Pope John Paul (tie)
