Defense:
Hunter Maxwell Nathan Shaffer Ethan Chavis Drayton Davis Mason Reiff
Who are the newcomers we should know about and why?
Line. Played behind some good defensive linemen last year. We are expecting a big year out of Sam
Drayton Davis and Mason Reiff…both started on offense last year. Expect a larger role for both on offense this year. Sam Heffernan on the defensive
What type of offense can we expect to see in 2016? Double Wing…Don’t be surprised to see us throw out of it though. 3 year starter at QB.
What will your team do well? Run the ball
We will attempt to get more athletes on the defensive side of the ball. Looking for guys who can run.
What are the question marks for this team heading into the 2016 season?
youth in certain positions. Will probably start a few sophomores. One at Guard and One at D-End. We have Depth in the secondary and will also might end up starting Hanner at Safety which can be a little nerve racking. He is really good at the position but I don’t really like playing the QB on Defense.
