Key returning playmakers include David Smith G, Justin Ruffino G, Brandon Washington WR, Daniel Burgess OLB, and Michael Ruffino MLB. All above mentioned players plus Colin Blom, Tyler Hansel and Max Wagenknecht are prospective DI recruits. Washington was last year's third leading receiver with 466 yards. Michael Ruffino recorded 77 tackles/assists last season. The Indians have a young quarterback and defensive backs, but they expect to have a strong offensive line. Coach Troy Mott reported, "We could be better defensively and on the offensive Line. We will have to replace playmakers John Boyett and Jake Croxdale." Replacing quarterback Boyett and runningback Croxdale will be a tall order because they produced a combined 4562 rushing yards last year. Boyett passed for 1000+ yards.
