Look for this group to attack the windows in the Tri-West defense Friday Night. Tight ends continue to be a big piece in the run and pass game.

JR Royce Bright and SO Trent Austin will get the nod this week at tight end. This group plays a significant role each week in the offense. Cadets front five are the masterminds behind the dominant offensive attack. This group has led the way to an offense that averages 463.8 yards per game.
