Coach’s Comment: “Our strength will be in our running back skill position. We have three legitimate No. 1 running backs. Shikrallah and Salkovitz, both juniors, are big, powerful and fast. Salkovitz got hurt last year and missed most of the season after being the team’s second leading rusher as a freshman. Jordan Zannini is at full strength and, in my opinion, is of one of the most dynamic players in Division I. CJ Goss has matured and as a junior can turn us into a pass-first team if needed. We are big up front and long, so that is something we have not had. Our biggest addition may be Ryan Todt, who missed his whole junior year with knee injury (he was our best lineman as a sophomore). He is back and ready to prove something. This is a united group that has a had a great offseason and last year’s playoff loss has not sat well. Our sophomore group will provide depth for us this year.”
