2021 Outlook: With only 5 seniors on a team of over 40 players, we are still an underclassman-dominated team. What has us excited is that many of those underclassmen earned extensive varsity game experience last season. And we are coming off a great off-season.

Offense: We will need to cut down on self-inflicted mistakes, polish our offensive execution, and finish plays and drives.

Defense: Reduce the number of big plays allowed. Be much improved in the areas of alignment and assignment on defense. 

Special Team: We will need to replace All-Area Kicker and Punter Michael Baloga, who will be kicking for Bloomsburg University this season.
