Roster and Depth Chart
OFFENSE
Our biggest battle will be at QB. Mitch Hopkins who was good at times last year is back as a fifth year senior. Redshirt junior, Lionel Rypien (Mark's son) is also ready to get a shot. Then we have blue chip recruit Gene Monroe who will have to be given a serious look. Unfortunately, we only have three QBs on the roster, making the luxury of redshirting Monroe impossible. Another oversight on my part.
Lincoln Spector and Sean Knobbs will both step in as freshmen starters, with Aaron Lyons -- who carried most of the load last year -- a very capable backup.
Our FB situation is poor, but when situation calls for it, sophomore Rodney Reed will be the guy. I will probably have TE Maurice Hay start in the FB spot because of his run blocking.
At TE, Howie Doyle looks to be the starter at this point. Back up TEs Maurice Hay and Dale Richmond will also fit into the depth chart at WR.
As stated, receiver is a big weakness for us, and is a must in recruiting this year. Our starters for now will be senior Sean Smedley followed by sophomore Sam Huffman.
Our O-line will be anchored by senior C BJ Schwartz. Albert Van Pelt looks to start at LG, while Kenyon Rayburn will start at RG. I am seriously considering redshirting all freshman guards. At tackle, freshman Reuben Ireland will play on the left side, and William Kelly on the right.
DEFENSE
Fifth year senior Frank Fong will take over as the RDE. He had some success at that position last year when filling in for departed Tommy Alexander. Sherman Pagnotti will bookend the D-line at LDE. In the middle of our 4-3 will be freshman Shannon Felder at LDT and All-Conference DT Bernie Ciaccio will play on the right. Gus Racz will fill in for Felder on passing downs.
Our linebacking corps still needs work. All-Conference Junior Darnell Finley is back as the Mike linebacker, with Jimmy Webster playing Strong side and Seth Fleming will begin the year as the Will Backer.
In the secondary, freshman Scott Rhodes will start as our top CB, and freshman Bobby Horibe will play the other side. Senior Isaac Wright will play SS, and Cedric Georgopoulos will line up at FS.
SPECIAL TEAMS
Our punter will be Gino Sheilds and our kicker will be Ricky Whalen. Sean Smedley will return kicks and Aaron Lyons will take punts.
