Key Stats: All the offense is gone from a team that had around 2800 total yards in 10 games. D’Shawn’s 250 total yards is the only significant offensive stats that we return. We started 10 seniors on offense and defense last year for most of the year. We will have the youngest team I have ever coached.
2019 Offensive Outlook: The key to our offensive success will be the play of our Sr.QB Rodger Roberts, Jr. FB D’Shawn Jemison and Sr. WR Jaden Holder. They will be counted on heavily to lead the offense. We will have a lot of inexperienced players that will play key roles this year. We will very young upfront and at every other skip position.
2019 Defensive Outlook: We have a lot of new personal everywhere on Defense.Sr. SS Rodger Roberts, Sr. CB Jaden Holder and JR. DE D’Shawn Jemison some significant time last year. 6’5 220 JR. DE Elijah Phillipe and JR. 5’10 170 FS/ OLB Abdoul Sahnor should make an impact this year. We could possibly have 5-6 sophomores starting on defense this year.
2019 Special Teams Outlook: We will have to find all new personal for kicking and returning kicks.
