2020 Returning Player Stats: Dak Jones, Dustin Long, and Seth Pearson were All-Conference players last year
2021 Offensive Outlook: Our key to success is how well our OL gels early. We have 8 guys vying for those 5 spots and our best 5 have to consistently win the line of scrimmage. Each of the 5 starters will have other guys breathing down their necks if they don’t perform.
2021 Defensive Outlook: The number one focal point for us is stopping the run. We are longer and stronger up front than in the past couple of years and that needs to translate to the field. Our secondary has a lot of experience.
2021 Special Teams Outlook: We are still figuring out the mounting situation but we do have a 10th-grade soccer player, Will Smith, who has been working all summer kicking and has continued to get better every week. We are excited about his potential.
