Leading the returnees is Gunnar Oakes a graduate senior at 6'5 260 who had 11 catches for 125 yards and 1 TD last year. Definitely a stronger blocker than receiver.

Former QB and wildcat guy Aaron Jackson a 6'2 230 senior had 6 rushes for 27 yards last year but no catches.

Jere Getzinger a 6'3 240 underclassman played all 12 games on special teams but had no catches.

Cole Rusk a 6'6 230 So., and Andreas Paaske a 6'7 250 redshirt frosh are also possibilities.

Evan Fortney a 6'4 235 junior provides depth and we added Jeremiah Drake a 6'5 245 frosh for more depth.

A name to remember who may end up starting by the end of the year is true frosh Max Reese a 6'2 230 who was highly regarded coming out of high school.

As with every season we always hope the TE is more involved in the offense.

'79 just reminded why I think TE might be the weakest position on the team. The leading returnee had 127 receiving yards.

Is that for one game or the season? (note the smiley).

I still feel that LB will be our weakest position.

BULLSEYE! Post Rachwal we have been found wanting there.

Just ran into his mother. Kyle is doing well. On top of his regular job, he will be doing some coaching at Linden HS.

Thanks for the update!

I met him by accident a few years ago when I was working at the Ann Arbor municipal golf courses. What an impressive young man! He will do well in whatever he endeavors to do, rest assured of that.
