Outlook: Irish coach Rudy Forti Jr has twelve starters returning including QB Seth Brown. There is talent and speed at skill positions including WR Frank Rayas who is likely to be Brown's top target. Newcomer Jacon Martinez could see carries and newbie Joe Terresbessy will serve as the blocking back. The offensive line is inexperienced and not really deep. Conversely, the defensive line has Christian Canalda and Christian Pistella back with experienced LB Mykal Madrid ready to lead that group. After a rebuilding year last season, this year should see some improvement.
