Outlook: Coach Andre Johansen thinks this could be the best team ever in his four-year coaching at Christian Brothers. The Falcons have three DI recruits in Marcus McDaniel RB/DB, Max Jablonsky LB/TE and Daniel Cox LB/TE. Both McDaniel and Cox are nationally ranked. Other exceptional athletes include Matt McCarthy OL/ DL, Josh Tucker RB/DB, Jamie Borup LB/OL, Nick Stathos WR/DB, Chris Henry OL and Matt Massman DL/OL. The Falcons have lots of depth with an outstanding junior varsity squad adding to the ranks. Although there may be some inexperience at certain skill positions, the team has a good combination of size and speed.
