D1 (FBS & FCS) Prospects: Christian Schlegel QB, Shawn Turber Rb/WR, Owen Long Te/De
2015 Outlook: Our strength should be our offensive line as we return 6 starters (Bryce Snyder started the 2nd half of the season for injured Blake Bettleyon).
Christian Schlegel is strong and athletic – he threw for 1,500 yards as a junior and we look for him to be more of a dual threat QB as a senior.
Shawn Turber is very athletic and will be used at RB and Wide Receiver.
Owen Long also returns as a PHAC all league selection at DE, Returning 7 starters on both sides of the ball, we hope to use our experience to get off to a good start and compete for the PHAC I Championship
