Coach John Guidry's running game should be the strength of the offense, with Alec Estrada getting the majority of carries and Jose Olivarez also contributing. Matthew Valverde will lead play in the trenches on both sides of the ball. Tight End Matthew Garcia is another weapon for Guidry to utilize. The defense will be led by Corners Jeremy Reza and Olivarez. At LB, Nicholas Garza and Edgard Saravia lead the way. The program needs to be patient and build through youngsters. It seems a foundation is being laid, and a win or two is possible.
