Outlook: An unbeaten JV team will need to help a team with few skill position players returning. Incoming QB Kyle DeMoss and RBs Joe Vega and C.J. Barrera must be effective in order for the Tarpons to succeed. If Senior leadership comes through, and players from JV step up, perhaps a repeat of last season could be expected.
