2014 Arbor View Football Capsule
ARBOR VIEW
Head coach: Dan Barnson, eighth season (51-24)
2013 record: 8-3 (4-1 Northwest League, second)
Returning lettermen (starters): 26 (six offense, five defense)
Base offensive set: Double wing
Base defensive set: 4-2-5
Top offensive players: OL Malik Noshi (Sr.); RB Herman Gray (Sr.); OL Keenan King (Jr.)
Top defensive players: DL Malik Noshi (Sr.); LB Bishop Jones (Jr.); LB Gage Motl (Jr.)
Top special teams players: KR Maurice Harvey (Sr.)
Key losses: Jacob Speaks; Devon Turner; Salah Boyce; Anthony Smith
Outlook: The Aggies have churned out rushing yards every year since installing the double wing, and this year should be no exception.
Even with the graduation of Smith (896 rushing yards), Speaks (676 rushing yards) and Turner (436 rushing yards), Arbor View should be able to find enough backs to continue to move the ball on the ground.
Gray, who is in his third year as a starter, should be the go-to back. He rushed for 647 yards and a team-high 10 TDs last season.
Noshi, a second team all-state pick, and King, who has a scholarship offer from Arizona State, give the Aggies a pair of outstanding linemen.
Jones, who has an offer from Southern Utah, led the team with three sacks last season and also had 35 tackles. Motl recorded 36 tackles, and gives the team another experienced linebacker.
Harvey was an All-Northwest League return man, and could excel on special teams.
Look for Arbor View to again be among the best in the league.
