DJ Mumaw – Junior Outside Linebacker – He has had a great off season.

Spread No Huddle Offense
What type of defense can we expect to see in 2016?
4-2-5
What will your team do well?
I think we will be very balanced offensively. Our receivers and quarterback have had a great summer. In the backfield we will have
both a running quarterback and a unanimous all conference running back. We return 5 guys that started on the offensive line from last year.
What are the questions marks for this team heading into the 2016 season?
After giving up a lot of points last year, our defense has a great deal to improve on.
What’s something about this team worth noting?
We have 30 juniors out for football with some key seniors returning. Our sophomores will fit in nicely with this group after going undefeated last year at the freshmen level.
Head Coach Aaron Kunz says: This is the first time in 5 years that we are not returning as conference champions. We have had a great off season and our team is very motivated. The conference is going to be outstanding and we will have to be ready to go every week.
