Trinity enjoyed one of its most successful seasons in school history last season, winning its second District 3 AA championship and boasting a new-look spread offense which yielded more than 5,400 yards, including a 2,300-yard passer and two 1,000-yard rushers.
Quarterback Patrick Dill returns after throwing for 2,315 yards and 24 touchdowns, and backs Adam Geiger and Jack Miller ran for 1,419 and 1,087 yards, respectively, combining for 37 rushing touchdowns. Dill, who has thrown for 3,098 yards in the last two seasons, has plenty of targets to throw to in Chris Lenz (34 rec., 675 yds, 11 TD); Danny Jackson (23, 443, 5); Geiger (21, 316, 1); and Miller (16, 270, 3). But will that offensive skill, which helped to light up scoreboards for the bulk of Trinity’s 73 total offensive touchdowns last season, have any time to work with? Only one starter on the Shamrock line – Vikram Shenoy – returns from a line which paved the way for that productive offensive unit of a year ago.
Defensively, Miller, Geiger, Nick Slonac (potential collegiate prospect w/ an offer from Eastern Illinois) and Vincent Spinelli return, but, like the Trinity offensive line, the rest of the Shamrock unit will be a little “green” in terms of experience.
