Overall Strength (defense), Strengths on offense (running back, receiver), Strengths on defense (linebacker, cornerback, defensive back).

We have one of the best running backs in south Texas Roel Garza, but we need help from our FB and the offensive line. There are some players that will have to step up and contribute to help this year’s team. |
