2020 Outlook:

Offense: The Cedar Cliff offense will be looking to replace the all-time leading rusher Jaheim Morris and prolific receiver Jahiem Reynolds.  The Colts will rely on a veteran offensive line lead by Seth Gillen, Claude Godineaux and Antonio Rodriguez, along with returning QB Gannon McMeans.  Cedar Cliff will need Jamir Reynolds and Jontae Morris to make up for the production lost in the run game.  The Colts will attempt to remain balanced on offense and attack teams on the ground and through the air.

Defense: Cedar Cliff will look to remain stout against the run with returning starters Ben Eisenhower and Elijah Ikeda.  The secondary will return experience and athleticism with Jamir Reynolds and Jontae Morris. The Colts will be looking to fill some voids on the perimeter with the departure of OLB’s Ashton Gombola and Pedro Cintron, as well as DE’s Jayvon Godineaux and Albert Rosado.

Special Team: Cedar Cliff will return kicker Alex Widmer for his senior season.  Alex was a solid kicker for the Colts in 2019.  The Colts will also be looking for a high level of production from their kick returner Jamir Reynolds-Vasquez and punter Matt Switzler.
