Senior offensive lineman not to use him on that side of Nathan Young is also expected the ball,” Auvinen said. While Barker and Walling to have an impact on the line have gotten a lot of recognition of scrimmage. One of McNary’s biggest during the offseason, junior linebacker Dyami Rios might question marks coming into have just as big of an impact 2019 is how they are going to replace the talent they had for the Celtics in 2019. As a sophomore, Rios had with their secondary and 10 sacks to go along with his receiving core. The Celtics graduated Nigel 87 tackles (38 solo), which helped him achieve second- Harris, Griffi n Oliveira and Jacob Jackson from last year’s team all-league status. With a 4.18 GPA, Rios is team — all three players got all- league recognition for their play in the secondary and as receivers. H owe ve r, Auvinen has a trio of senior receivers in Riley Flores, Noah Lelack and Alex Tavera that he believes are ready to fi ll the void. “I think those guys are ready to step up and have their time. They are physical kids who can run and catch. We’re light on experience but I know that those kids can play,” Auvinen said. Lelack is also SCHEDULE expected to be the starting free safety alongside sophomore Zane Aicher, who is slotted to play strong safety. However, Auvinen and his staff are still deciding who will make the rotation at cornerback. Even though McNary will have a target on their back as they head into this season, it’s clear that the Celtics still have a chip on their shoulder. “We want to win a league championship and then make a run in the playoffs. We want to at least get to the second round,” Barker said. “I’m most looking forward to the out-of- league schedule, because we have something to prove.” “We’re defi nitely looking to take a step up,” Auvinen added.
