Outlook: First year Head Coach Malcolm Floyd will be putting a lot of confidence in the leadership of David Cundiff OT/LB and Hector Hernandez LB to help guide the team. Cundiff is a nationally ranked DI recruit at the OG position. Hernandez was last year's 2nd best team tackler with the highest amount of sacks. The McClatchy Lions' strengths are its linemen and linebacker corp. But Coach Floyd will be struggling with overall team experience. Many of the seniors will be playing football for the first time. Fortunately, the junior varsity squad adds much needed talent. "This team must rely on discipline and effort to be competitive this year," said Floyd.
