Head Coach Kevin Myers Q&A
Q. What are the key things we should know about your offense?
A. We run a very multiple offense. We will be led by our big, agile offensive line. Featured seniors to watch are: Justin Tindull, Zaire Willis, and Tray Noye, and junior Jordan Burns.
Junior, Cade Gold will be taking over at quarterback.
The receiving corps looks to be solidified by returning junior letter winners Jake Jansen and Kiwane Tarbet.
Q. What are the key things we should know about your defense?
A. The defense looks to replace a majority of its players. All-Conference senior defensive end Kristopher Phennecie and letter winning junior Jordan Burns, anchor the line. Seniors Justin Tindull, Zaire Willis, and Tray Noye will platoon the tackle position.
Having graduated all four linebackers, the competition for the starting spots will be strong between Dez Jones Sr, Dominic Almalfitano Sr, Hayden Schimp Sr, Will Riley Jr, Dillon Callahan So, and Sam Ward Sr.
The secondary will feature returning starting corner, junior Jake Jansen and All-Conference Safety and leading tackler, senior Addison Quinones.
Q. What are the key things we should know about your special teams? Who are your kick and punt returners? Who are your kicker and punter?
A. After a fantastic junior year, Mac Curran returns to perform the kicking duties.
The punting and kick return duties will be decided during camp.
