DALTON CATAMOUNTS

Head coach: Matt Land (65-28 in eight seasons here and overall)

Returning starters: 4 offensive, 3 defensive

Key players: OL Osbaldo Beltran (6-8, 308), WR Yendry Cruz (5-11, 187), ATH Jahmyr Gibbs (5-10, 182), WR/DB Bryce Houghton (5-9, 175), OL Manny Vega (6-1, 305).

Team strengths: The offense’s skill positions, led by Gibbs and sticky-fingered receiver Cruz, are deep and talented. Special teams, anchored by Wake Forest-committed kicker/punter Ivan Mora, again will be a strength.
