2020 Offensive Outlook: Were exited to return almost our entire offensive line who’s played together for much of the last two years. Tre Davis, who started at WR last year, will make the transition to QB. With his athleticism, we look to incorporate the QB into the running game more. We also return our 2019 week 1 starting backfield, they both suffered season ending injuries early in the 2019 season; were eager to have these two talented ball carriers back with what should be a seasoned offensive line, which we will need to rely on heavily at the start of the season. We expect to be more diverse in the running game this year and more efficient in the passing game.

2020 Defensive Outlook: Were proud of the defensive units that we’ve put together the last two years and will certainly be looking to continue that this year. We will need to rely on the experience early on to allow some young defensive lineman to get acclimated and ready to play quality minutes for us. We need to replace two very good defensive ends from the 2019 team, that will be the early focus. However, we’re exited about returning our starting LB’s as well as most of our defensive backfield.
