2020 Offensive Outlook: We must return most of our offensive line this year. We may be playing three sophomores on the line. However, two of the three saw playing time last year. We feel very confident in our skill positions and our depth at those positions. We return Mike Repsher who is our slash player: he led us in rushing yards, touchdowns, and was our second leading receiver. We return Matt Frame a powerful runner who was second in rushing yards, and Joe Abidelli who was third in rushing yards. We return Trevor Amorim our leading receiver and Evan Zambo who came along during the second half of the season. We feel that we will have a very exciting offense with alot of speed this year.
2020 Defensive Outlook: We return the bulk of our secondary and linebackers this season. We feel that we will be very strong in that area. We return both defensive tackles but lost our two defensive ends who were excellent last year. We feel confident that we will have a very good defense with alot of speed in the linebacker and secondary. We must find depth on our defensive front.
2020 Special Teams Outlook: We return our punter Mike Repsher and kicker Brett Misera and feel good about our special teams. Brett has the ability to kick deep and has a field goal range of up to 40 yards. With good numbers on the roster we will have some very good players on our special teams.
