Team Synopsis:
This is a hungry team. After last year's first losing season under Jay Roth and the first for Rummel since 1994, Rummel appears poised to return to winning ways and a playoff berth. Damian Williams figures to be the best quarterback in 9-5A. He has started since his freshman year, is big and runs hard, and has a good arm. J.J. Brown is quick and experienced in the backfield. Dominick Bilich anchors the offensive line. He is a Division 1 prospect. Cyril Grayson moves from safety to receiver full-time and has outstanding speed. Running back Terrance Jones moves to linebacker to solidify a defense that struggled at that position a year ago. He will still see some time at running back. The defensive line has experience with Scott Migliore and Branagh Cohen while Michael Kennedy is talented young linebacker. How much the defense improves over an uncharacteristic poor season will determine how far Rummel goes though a return to the playoffs is likely.
