Outlook: Mac Woodfin's Lobos have eleven starters back with eight on defense. Standout LB Efrem Oliphant is a division one prospect as a Junior this season. The same is true for his classmate Alex Doolittle on the defensive line. Mike Huynh is another lineman who deserves respect, and work in the trenches should be a major strength for the Lobos. The offense will be down, especially in the passing game, where key targets and the starting QB have moved on. The kicking game also needs to find someone who can take care of punting and place kicking. Young players on offense must step up, and mistakes must be avoided.
