2019 FOOTBALL TEAM PREVIEWS

CLEVELAND INDIANS

2018 Record: 0-10 Overall, 0-7 District

8th Place in District 10-5A-II

 

The Cleveland Indians struggled to adjust to life in Class 5A, going winless in 2018.  There will be a number of changes for the Indians as Cleveland alum Norris Taff will now guide the program.  Taff will have a young squad to push into the playoff picture as only five starters on offense and four starters on defense return in 2019.

 

Head Coach: Norris Taff

Assistant Coaches: Jacob Rae (Offensive Coordinator/Running Game Coordinator), Bernie Busken (Passing Game Coordinator), John Matthews (Defensive Coordinator), Josef Camacho (Special Teams Coordinator/Safeties), Jamaul Ross (Insider linebacker), Jaraud Ross (Receivers), Sterling Jones (Cornerbacks), Leslie Davis (Offensive Line), Gabriel Goodman (Outside Linebackers)

Offense:

Five starters will return to operate out of the Cleveland I-spread in 2019.  Stepping in to run the offense will be sophomore quarterback Cary Wood.  Joining him in the backfield will be senior running back Tyreich Terry.  Senior wide outs Jared Roberson and Alejandro Lira return to the Indian receiver corp where they will be joined by junior receivers Stephan Hughey and Donald Robertson.  Seniors Nathan Payne-Pershall and Jaden Barnett return to pace the Cleveland offensive line.

Defense:

Four starters return to the Cleveland defense in 2019.  Senior defensive end Andre Alpha and senior end Mark Losoya will bookend the front line of the Indian 3-4 defense.  Senior inside linebackers Jacob Heredia and Elvis Gonzalez will be joined by senior outside linebacker Trace Owen.  Hughey (at cornerback) returns to anchor a Cleveland secondary which will include sophomore safety Chris Decantel, junior Devonte Robertson and sophomore cornerback Joshua Jack.
