Outlook: Coach Brown hopes the team’s move to the Southeast League will mean a return to the postseason for the first time since 2004.
Justin Brown will have to do a lot for that to happen. The senior rushed for 592 yards and six TDs, and had 22 catches for 173 yards and two scores last season. He also recorded 32 tackles on defense.
Tuaivale, who had 78 tackles, and Fletcher will play key roles on defense for the Sundevils, who allowed 50 or more points three times last season.
