Who are the newcomers we should know about and why?
Not a lot of newcomers as far as starters are concerned but I believe Nolan Yeary will be a breakout player for us this season. He has had an amazing off-season in the weight room and comes in as a much more confident and experienced player than he did as a sophomore last season. Brendan Reber will also be a significant contributor. Great player who unfortunately has had to deal with some injuries the past two seasons.
Head Coach says:
We are excited about joining such a highly competitive and wonderful conference such as the Sangamo. We know that it is a league that you are going to have to bring your absolute best each and every week. It is our hope to compete with the best!
