2017 Offensive Outlook: We lost almost 90% of our offensive production from last year but we do have several players who contributed late in the year. Our offensive line will have to gel and open holes early to give our inexperienced backfield time to gain experience.

2017 Defensive Outlook: We do have some key players coming back but will have to replace almost all of our linebackers and defensive backs. Out defense has been very good the past few years but in order to keep playing well several newcomers will have to play assignment football and tackle.

2017 Special Teams Outlook: We lost all of our special teams players but do have a good competition going on for the kicking position. Punter we are still working on finding a replacement for our all league player we lost last year.
