Central returning starters on offense….Blake Herdes (QB), Ro Diaz (RB), Jace Krietemeyer (OT-started about 8 games), Ryan Pendergraff (OT- started about 6 games), Eric Moore (two year varsity starter on OL), Riley Broshears (center, started 2 games). Luke Kemper started one game at FB last year. Luke Pokorney rotated with Camdyn Counts at WR and was #2 WR.
Defense returners…. Aaron Garris (started all year at DE), Isaiah Cooper (started all year at ILB), Gavin Kelley (started every game last two years at OLB), Josh Boberg (started every game last year at OLB), Edgrrin Reed (started last two years at CB), Steven Pritchett (started a few games last year at CB and is best kicker/punter in conference).
Yes, they lost a lot of offensive production but that was the same case the year before when their RB was Schutte and their only WR that got any production was Tre Evans. Going into last year Jacob Boberg and Tory Evans hadn’t done much on offense.
Some other players that should step up for Central (Jordan Kasinger- RB/WR), Chris Yeaden (OL/DL), Dashon and Darrion Stewart (DL), Brody Mueller (ILB), Luke Robards (OLB), J’Khari Phifer (WR, Safety), Brayden Bockstege (OL), Porter Rode (transfer RB from Westfield).
