Key outstanding players that should lead the team include Michael Swaim FS/WR, Brandon Nickas RB/LB and Jim Aguilar RB/LB. The offensive line and quarterback roles are inexperienced, so growing pains are expected. There is good team speed on defense and the linebacker corps could be one of the best in recent memory according to Coach Bill Haley. "I expect us to start slowly on offense until our young offensive line can mesh. I expect us to be very aggressive defensively," concluded Haley.
