Outlook: The offensive line will need to emerge for coach Armando Cuellar who will need to protect veteran, talented, skill position talent. Jose Gonzales is back at QB, and Andrew Alvarado returns at RB. Both should be aided by veteran FB Ricky Alaniz. On the outside, Devin Ybarra, J.D. Cuellar and Tony Rodriguez are all players that can make things happen on the perimeter. The team should be improved with good depth at key spots, but line play is going to need to be solid to make it a really good year.
