Defense: Core group returns from a stellar 2016 season defensively. A couple key positions to fill. Look for another solid season from our defense.

Special Team: Dawson Evitts is a talented Kicker and Punter with D1 looks.

  1. david mika – keep up the good work – this team seems to reload a lot – notwithstanding the ‘numbers’ comment – tough in the small towns – I have a real respect for this program though – they played us (wyo) the first game of our 16-0 – GO HURRICAINES !
