THREE TO SEE

Daniel Eriksson, linebacker

Imposing middle linebacker flies to ball carriers to do one thing he loves -- smash

Myles Fabre, offensive lineman

A part-time starter last season, he will put great technique on display full-time in 2019

Davonta Murphy-McMillan, running back

Bruins still plan on pounding defenses with Wing-T, and he could get 25 carries a game

OUTLOOK

Every time coach Sieh walks into the school’s football office, the same banner catches his eyes.

It's the 1991 state title-winning reminder when the late Terry Ennis was the coach.

Sieh has a lot of pride returning to his alma mater to try to restore tradition, but he won’t stray from doing it the right way -- developing a program.

The Bruins’ rushing attack is further ahead than stopping the run, which has been a point of emphasis this offseason. Murphy-McMillan is a workhorse running back and will see the majority of the carries, but Puri is a home-run threat any time he touches the ball.

If the line with just one senior -- Lopez -- progresses quickly, the Bruins could inch closer to playoff contention.
