The help of a JV unit that went 9-1 last season should help out. Larry Smith transitions to QB after playing WR, and being named an All State Kick returner last year. Sean Chappel and Cruz Chaires are newcomers that should play a lot at WR. On defense Taylor Rost "will pose a lot of problems" according to Seward. Rost stands 6'7" and weighs 385 lbs. Jared Green will also play on the defensive line and is a dependable performer. Harvey Lee is back at LB after leading the squad in tackles last season. If the team can overcome the loss of an All State caliber QB and top notch RB on offense, the defense will be improved and a lot of wins seems likely.
