Because of 14 returning starters, and the addition of QB/TE Austin Griffith--who has "unlimited potential" according to coach Tony Harris, this is likely to be McAllen's best team. Eight starters are back on offense, including the entire offensive line (Tino Hong was first team all-district at left tackle, while Scott Inskeep was second-team district at right tackle). Adrian Leal is back at QB, after accounting for 24 TDs last season. First-team district kicker Brandon Rock also had 3 INT's playing in the secondary last season. An offense that scored 32 points per game, and averaged 351 yards on offense, should start where they left off. Depth is one possible weakness. McAllen should be very good, especially on offense.
