Freshmen also 10 and 0 Top three players (please also list year in school [for COMING season], position and height/weight/40yd dash time) :Tanner Clark, at QB/Athlete. Started every single game last two years. 6’2 205 lb frame and runs a 4.6 40 yard dash.. Had 1,257 yards passing and 466 yards rushing with 18 total TD last year alone. Zach Goodkin at WR/RB 3 year varsity starter had 754 yards rushing with a 7 yard average and 15 catches for 353 yards for a 23.5 yard per reception. He had 8 total TDs to go with his 1107 all purpose yards. Zach ran a 4.56 40 yard dash.

Harper Engemann was our defensive MVP last year as a junior had 54 total tackles to go along with his 4 interceptions and 4 pass break ups. Harper runs a 4.9 40 yard dash.

Team strengths: A lot of depth at Linebacker. 3 potential very good seniors will be backed up by 3 very good Juniors from an undefeated JV team. A solid defensive line that will play up to 6 guys and be very active to the ball. Defense will be very active and opportunistic. A backend that is full of seniors will be very athletic and active. Not a ton of size but we will get after it on defense. Offensively have home run potential in the backfield and at receiver. Top tier athletes that if healthy and play to their potential could be very dangerous. A real deal athlete football player at quarterback in Tanner Clark, that is buffered by some great depth at running back and fullback, namely Victor Epstein at FB who started every single game as a junior, and have some explosive players at wide out, namely Jake Cashman along with his 15.9 yard average per reception . The Junior to be Quarterback Jake Neufeld, lead an undefeated JV team last year will see time at QB and WR as well, he is a division 1 caliber talent. Team weaknesses: Offensive line play and depth could be an issue. We have a great senior 11 game starter returning in Evan Atkin, but he is the only returning starter up front. There are some other seniors and underclassman that will need to develop in a hurry. Not a lot of depth in the secondary either. We have a solid starting group but next to no experience at all behind them and will need to have guys from the undefeated JV and Frosh teams step up and fill roles. Losing 2 full scholarship Division 1 specialist to graduation in the kicking game so Junior to be Nick McAllister who is very talented will have to rise to the occasion and do all aspects of the kicking game
