Outstanding returning players include Justin Rahn QB, Graham Paterson OL/DL, Chase Hayhurst OL/LB and Chris Cantwell OL/DL. Rahn, a DI recruit prospect, produced more than 1500 passing yards and nearly 500 rushing yards and averaged 35 yards per punt. The Matadors have more experience offensively than defensively but Coach Jeff Mueller believes the team will be fun to watch nonetheless. A big highlight for the team will be a trip to Portland, Oregon to challenge the Cleveland Warriors on September 12th.
