Last season, Macon had a stellar season throwing for 3,306 yards with 35 touchdowns.

Breitling plays multiple roles and is a very dependable asset for head coach Adam Cummings. He graded out blocking at 95 percent on the offensive side of the ball last year while making 20 tackles with a sack on the defensive side.
Brody Tupin, 5-11, 190-pound, DB
