Preseason Poll Projection: 7th
Outlook: The first year for Fordyce had its ups and downs but the experience gained should pay dividends in 2018. Geiss showed promise in his first collegiate season and welcomes back three sure-handed targets in Salamone, Longo and Walbert. Walsh is a solid back and will find running room behind three returning starters on the O-line. Turner is the headliner on defense behind three returning starters on the interior line. Minicozzi is a two-time All-CC selection on defense while the Red Devils return three starters in the secondary. Dickinson may not be ready to contend for a Conference title but a .500 season is within reach.
