The Mustangs have several guys getting serious D-I looks and offers, including LB Eric Martin, RB Daniel Jenkins, TE Terrence Miller, and S Richard Spencer. Add junior DE Ronald Powell (whom Coach Pete Duffy calls "An absolute beast" and a "High major recruit") and you have the fixins of a pretty good team. Rancho Verde certainly looks like they'll not only again make noise in the Inland Valley League, but they will also make noise in the tough Southern Section Inland Division.
