Filling the shoes of 28 seniors which includes 10 starters defensively and 6 starters offensively.

What’s something unique about this team that’s worth noting? 

This is a group of guys are enjoying the underdog role after losing so many senior starters.  They are a tight knit group that has made great strides this summer.

Head Coach Aaron Kunz says:

“It has been a great summer.  Over the next three weeks it is crucial for us to improve each day for week 1 and the gauntlet that is the SANGAMO Conference.”
