Outlook: Otteson said the Muckers have a solid core of veterans returning, although depth is a concern early on.

Seth Littlefield is back to lead the offense after rushing for 1,119 yards and 12 touchdowns and passing for 716 yards and 13 TDs as a junior.

Gromis racked up 61 tackles and 13 sacks last season, and he returns to anchor the defensive line.
