Matt Nowlin and Austin Koonce should also see time at RB, which is especially nice because Calzada expends energy at LB on defense and Kicker/Punter on special teams--coach John Ward thinks he has great leadership. Key skill position talent is also back. Line play on both sides of the ball is a big question mark and must be resolved to have a great season. Winning the district and getting into the playoffs is a major team goal. With the right development and work ethic it could be achieved.
