2017 Offensive Outlook: We return a number of skill players, but we must rebuild our OL. We need to be able to get the ball to our playmakers in space. Gorgone was injured last year, but is a gamer at QB. We have two good RB with Adams and Graham- both are big play guys. Zubillaga is maybe the top skill kid in the league. We struggled on offense at times last year, and need to be able to put more points on the board so that we don’t put all the pressure on our defense.
2017 Defensive Outlook: We have to replace 6 of our front 7. We were really good on defense last year, and need to find a way to replace a strong group of LB. We should be strong on the perimeter. JT Hower is the best corner in the league. He had 6 int at a jr. Joe Zubillaga will play both OLB and FS. Zach Lawrence returns at DE and should have a really good senior year. Aidan Boyle provides leadership and toughness, in addition to setting our coverages.
2017 Special Teams Outlook: We need to replace our kicker and punter. We were solid, but not perfect on special teams. We need to be better in all phases.
