2011 Record:

League: 4-3

Overall: 8-4 District 1 Second Round

Notable Losses: Bobby Marterella WR/DB (Delaware Valley College), Sean Ulmer RB/DB (Kutztown University), Kiser Terry  DE (Milford Academy), Joe Bianchino QB (Ithaca College), John Bell OL/DL (Ursinus College), Chris Kutsubos OL/DL, Bryan Reice P

Others to Watch: Mike Palmer OL/DL, Blake Sullivan RB/DE, Brian Toal RB/LB, Nate Hall RB/DB, Madeh Cooper LB

Outlook:

Offense: After losing seven offensive starters to graduation, the Redskins will look to rebuild around two-sport standout Justin Andrews.  Devon Brown and Denny Lord should have a more prominent role in the backfield.  Ian Waterbury will anchor a young Offensive Line.

Defense: The Redskin defense must find a way to replace their main two playmakers from 2011 - Bobby Marterella and Kiser Terry.  Alex Nicolas and Luke Carrezola saw significant time as sophomores and should contribute right away.  Devon Brown and Cole Creighton will bring leadership and experience to the secondary.
