Highly national ranked Diante Jackson WR/DB returns this year, along with outstanding players Tommy Nott LB, Morgan Breslin DL/FB, Eric Price OL/DL, Jon Lindh OL/LB and Trent Sanson OL. Jackson, having a number of quality college offers, produced nearly 1300 yards and 19 touchdowns for the Lions last season. Coach Doug Longero believes his young team has potential to be very good on offense, but they will go through some growing pains on defense.
