Our key players were listed as:

Tank Ekokobe	Senior	FB/LB
Donnie Liotine	Sophomore	TB/LB
Marco Masakayan	Sophomore	QB/CB

Andrew White	Sophomore	RB/CB

Here is what Newsday had to say about our boys:

[Kris] Ryan hopes his first season will produce some toughness and a physical presence, led by linebackers Ekokobe and Liotine. There are sophomores all around, including quarterback Masakayan and tailbacks Liotine and White, who will be featured in an option offense. Davis provides size up front on both sides of the ball.
