The blue devils have been working hard getting ready for their season opener (scrimmage game) at Blessed Trinity on Aug. 21. The team should be led by a core of Seniors: OL/DE Taylor Smith, OL/DL Seth Martin, OL/DL Ethan Fortson, DL/OL Eric Crenshaw, RB/DB Austin Jones, DB/RB Trez Haley, QB/P Robert Huff ,  K/P Andy Corder, & K Omar Vargas. The team will miss returning starter OL/DL Ben Yarbrough who will miss his Senior season with an injury.  The blue devils have picked up several Senior Hoopsters including: TE/DE Trey Heard , WR/DB Keldric Rambert, and TE/DE Jim Hill as well as Trackster RB/DB Demarco Freeman who all are looking to make a difference.  Other Seniors looking to contribute are OL/DL Demarcus Davis, WR Thomas Maxwell, and newcomers LB/FB Kyle Bagwell, OL/DL Mike Burton & OL/DL Aaron Freeman. 

The Junior class will be led by TE/LB Taj Letman, WR/DB Valdon Cooper, RB/DB Shi Marshall, & DL Ricky Hamm who either started or received valuable playing time last year as a sophomores.

Fleming, DE/FB Tamarick Woodard,  DE/TE Demetrius Sanders, FS Bentavius Allen & WR/DB Tevin Fleming. Other Sophomores vying for playing time are Seth Baughman, Lofon Agbobock- Ferguson,Allen Brown,Channing Ruff, Alex Fernandez, Woody Eaves, Brandon Owens, Bryson Moss, Osiris Mitchell, Josh Justice, J.J.

Lastly, the team has high expectations for Freshman RB/LB Tyshon Dye who has the heart, determination, and ability to start on either side of the ball for the blue devils this season.
