Dayton Broncos 2021 Preview
Coach: Blake Ware. Lettermen R/L: 20/22. Starters returning O/D: 6/8. 2020: 0-10/0-7 district.
Players to watch: TE/DE Camron Cooper (6-4, 235, 4.5), DL Cam’ron Willis (6-1, 200, 4.7), WR Ashton Garner (5-8, 165, 4.5), WR Donovan Orebo (6-4, 190, 4.6), RB Daveon Washington (5-7, 190, 4.7). Top juniors: LB James Harris (6-0, 180, 4.7), WR Kody Arceneaux (5-11, 160, 4.5).
Other prospects: QB Blayne Denton, DB Austin Murphree.
2021 notes: It was a difficult debut season for Ware, as the Broncos failed to get into the win column. It's been a rough stretch for this once-proud program, as Dayton has just one win in the past three seasons. Dayton expects to be improved with a defense that returns eight starters led by TE/DE Cooper (42 tackles, 11 TFL, 6 sacks) and DL Willis (27 tackles, 11 TFL, 3 sacks). Junior LB Harris (47 tackles, 6 TFL) was outstanding as a sophomore and has a chance to have a very productive season. WRs Garner (18-200, 3 TDs receiving; 207 yards 1 TD rushing) and Orebo (46-566 yards, 5 TDs receiving) are a dynamic receiving duo that will be a problem for opposing defensive backs. RB Washington (480 yards, 3 TDs rushing) will carry the Dayton rushing attack.
