With 8 returning starters on defense and 6 on offense the Cougars will be on top of the Northern Lakes League again. This year was the Cougars first year making the D1 playoffs where they fell to Twinsburg in the first round in overtime 24-21. If the enrollment figures are what people are saying they are then the Cougars could potentially move back down to D2 if that is the case I feel they can make another run at the D2 title. If they remain D1 I see them making a further run into the post season than this year.
Returning Starters and year
Allen Gant 2012 WR/SS 6"2 210 (All Ohio, big time recruit plays like a LB, team leading receiver excellent hands and strength smaller DB's have problems with Allen)
JQ Bowers 2012 RB/WR/CB/KR 5"10 175 (Fastest kid on the team bigger than older brother IMO best DB also a serious threat at RB/WR and KR)
Jay Fisher 2012 FB/MLB 5"10 200 (Leading tackler in 2010 even though he missed 4 games heart of the defense also a very agile runner for his size)
Michael Gross 2012 OLB 5"11 185 (Big time hitter)
Jordan Meehan 2012 OLB 6" 175 (This kid plays with a chip on his shoulder each game)
Rilie Neill DL 2012 5"9 196 (Dominating on the DL)
Tarryl Hamilton 2012 DL 5"9 216 (Fast and a hitter)
David George 2012 OG/DE 6" 215 (Kid could be an outstanding guard if he put on 20)
Garrett Samson 2013 OL/DL 5"11 265
Andy Clark 2013 OL/DL 5"11 252 (Started as a sophmore good OL)
Jalen Marable 2012 RB/CB 5"11 175 (another speedster and shut down corner)
Kyle Stout 2012 OT/DT 6"1 270 (Good size just needs to work on footwork)
Derrick Hartman 2013 OL/DT 6" 286 (This kid is solid and from what I hear has increased in strength)
Travis Miller 2012 TE/DE 6"5 225 (came along very well the latter part of the season good hands I would love to see him on defense)
Nick Josza 2012 FB/OLB 5"10 185 (Good runner if he keeps his head up also fast LB on defense)
Austin Valdez 2013 QB/LB 6"2 200 (Austin will take the helm at QB this kid has a good arm and when he runs he reminds you of Pidcock)
Potential Starters
Zack Zoltowski 2013 OL/DL 6"4 302 (will he replace Okdie at center?)
Calvin Brank 2013 6"1 329
Brandon Stewart 2013 WR/DB 5"11 175 (excellent hands)
Nate Hall 2014 6"2 180 (Younger brother of Northwesterns Jimmy Hall I think he will be bigger)
JJ Pinckney 2014 6"3 170 WR/S (The youngest of the Pinckney brothers saw varsity time at receiver the only kids that are faster than him are his cousin JQ Bowers and Marable)
Ryan Stout 2014 6"3 195 TE/DE (Man child is what they call him this kid will be special and will cause havoc on defense)
