The team's top offensive threat is RB Trey Davis who could hit the 1,000 yard rushing mark this season after falling just short last year. Blake Lewis is likely to start at QB, with Sam Gunter a key WR. On the offensive line Jonathon Madrigal and Trevor Bustamante are key anchors. The defense is led by Cedrick Freeman in the trenches. As always, more quality players are needed, but there is some talent and the right to improve.
