Key Stats: Returning 1000 yard passer in Chase Cavanaugh, Returning 1000 yard rusher in Davion Hill, Returning top tackler in Joeb Shurer, Returning record approaching K in Brady Dowell

2020 Offensive Outlook: This year our offense if very veteran although we have some big shoes to fill due to graduations. We return a large amount of players who were starters last year. Most notably our offensive line returns five players who have all started multiple games last season. We also return our QB in Chase Cavanaugh who had an excellent year last year. On the receiving core we return a large amount of players with starting experience. Our RB position is one of strength with 1000 rusher Davion Hill heading into his sophomore campaign and Korie Mayer returning for what should be a very strong senior year.

2020 Defensive Outlook: Our defense must replace a number of key contributors. We are up to the challenge led by our leading tackler from last season Joeb Shurer. We return three other LB’s which have starting expereince as well. The defensive line is keyed by Aeden Holler and Korie Mayer with a great number of players competing for the remaining positions. Our defensive backfield returns a number of players who have had starting experience with CB Eli Gair and FS Rian Glunk bring key returners from last season.

2020 Special Teams Outlook: Our special teams should be a strength this year as Brady Dowell will return to our team for a healthy senior year. Last season he was hampered with injury, but this season he returns in full strength. He is poised for a great senior year.
