SEYMOUR

Coach: Tom Lennon (4th year, 6-24)

League: NVL

Last season: 5-5

Top offensive players: Mike Conlan, 6-0, 185, Sr., QB/WR/DB; Jim Vartelas, 5-10, 165, Sr., RB/LB

Top defensive players: Dan Bonney, 5-9, 165, Sr., DL/OL; Zach Sirowich, 6-2, 215, Jr., DL/LB/OL

Key losses: Luke Grabowski, QB/DB; Dylan Sadick, OL/LB; Josh Tilton, OL/LB; Jon Wilson, RB/DB; Rob Brito, OL/DL

Inside the huddle: Young team, 40 of 55 players on roster are sophomores or freshmen. Team needs to mature quickly. Development of offensive line will be key.Seymour must replace its top two rushers (Grabowski and Wilson) who combined for more than 1,400 yards and 19 touchdowns. Vartelas and senior fullback Jack Briggs will likely get most of the hand offs.

Stat Facts: Conlan made a team-leading 26 catches last season, but may get the call under center. Bonney and Sirowich combined for 63 tackles and three sacks in 2011, and the two will likely anchor the defense this year.
