UNIVERSITY TROJANS
Coach: Mark Cunningham (29th year, 125-166-8)
Last season: 2-8 overall, 0-5 league
Scouting report: The Trojans are hoping for a better showing this season after struggling in league the past two seasons. One or two league wins would be a step in the right direction. With 15 starters coming back, this could be the year they break through. Parker Dickey will do it all for the Trojans. He is slated to line up at receiver, safety, punter and kicker. The Trojans could get an offensive spark from returning quarterback Wes Jordan and running backs Matt Abellaneda, John Kang and Allahasn Jenkins. Senior Dakota Brooks (6-2, 223 pounds) provides a physical presence on the defensive line.
Players to watch: Matt Abelleaneda, Jr.; John Farah, Sr.; Allahasn Jenkins, Sr.; Wes Jordan, Sr.; Wei-Tai Sun, Sr.
