Key Stats: Averaged 31 points/game and 230+/game on the ground. Jared Marshman Sr. QB had 2,000 yards total offense in 2016. Kicker Kenneth Marshman set a new program Kick scoring record 49-52 PAT and 9-10 FG for 76 points.

2017 Offensive Outlook: Team graduates 9 starters on offense including top rusher and five top receivers. The offensive group will be young but talented – need to develop depth and confidence.

2017 Defensive Outlook: Replacing 7 starters, including several multiple year starters will be the challenge defensively.

2017 Special Teams Outlook: Place kicking should be a strength of the team with returning kicker Kenneth Marshman. Evan Klinger and Damon Beckhorn also provide a very strong return game in both kick off and punt returns. Special teams will be a key component in the success of the 2017 season.
