While recent seasons haven’t always been easy for the Ed White Commanders, the 2017 version seems to be more promising than ever. After an abysmal 2016 with a record of (3-6), the Commanders are trying to get back in their usual winning ways. In our media day coverage interview with Head Coach Kevin Sullivan, he stated that the team has been working really hard in the offseason in the weight room and conditioning their bodies for the upcoming season. He also stated that the work ethic of the team has definitely proven to be better and the team is much more focused than last year’s. This year when looking at the roster, you see much more experience at key positions which is a big benefit for the Commanders in coach Kevin Sullivan’s second year.
Caleb Stewart looks to make a big statement this season. Currently committed to Virginia Tech, the running back is looking to make a big splash on his resume on the way to the college ranks. With over 600 rushing yards in his 2016 season, he is looking to take his talents to the next level and become one of the most highly touted recruits in the area. This is definitely a player to watch in the upcoming season.
On the defensive side, you have a quietly keep secret by the name of Deryk Hill. Hill returns this year outside of the senior production that has moved on, as a physically imposing linebacker/defensive end. He has great speed, and is one of the defense’s most productive returning starters for this season. With Hill and company, the Commanders look to be physical and fast on defense. Other players of note that look to make progress this season include Robert Carley, Dajuan Cornish, Jacob Barbery, and Isaiah Flowers.
