Who are the newcomers we should know about and why?
Braylon Singer, Joseph Catalano, Luke Vaughn, Gladden Fletcher, and Nathan Tonellato are all guys we are looking for big things from at the receiver position.
Braddock Cates has had a great summer at running back. Mason Lyttaker, Gage Paul, and Colin Ripperda will also spend time in the backfield.
We will replace 4 starters on our offensive line. Guys that we have worked in those spots this summer have been Grant Patterson, Carson Beattie, Corbin Stewart, Noah Hauke, Kenny Spaniol, Matthew Crouch, Stephen Rexroad, Will Feurer, and Kyle Heubner.
At the defensive back position, we are looking for Nolan Bates to make a move and have an outstanding year. Other new players we are looking for big contributions from include Drake Angeli, Kyle Carter, Luke Vaughn, Riley Galvin, Connor Park, and Dylan Ferris.
At linebacker we have seen great strides from Kenny Spaniol, Camden Rummans, Christian Hamilton, Carson Kohler, David Jenkins, and Gage Paul.
Defensive lineman we are looking for contributions from include Stephen Rexroad, Adam Hayward, Matthew Miller, Tyler Edwards, Caleb Verardi, Henry Gerding, and Michael Krikorian.
Head Coach says: We had an incredible summer. With 25 seniors leading the way, we are looking forward to a great season!
