Zach Garcia, OL-DL, 6-2, 185-pounds, Sr.
Garcia is the anchor of an offensive line that prides itself on running the football. Though he isn’t the biggest, the captain of the line graded out at 91 percent last season and didn’t allow a sack on his watch.
Bayler Schilling, WR-DB, 6-2, 185-pounds, Sr.
Though he missed most of last season with an injury, the multi-sport standout is healthy and full go for his senior year. Schilling brings a much-needed dynamic to the outside for the Eagles. In limited action last season, Schilling hauled in 18 catches for 311 yards.
Noah Sanchez, ATH, 5-10, 150-pounds, Sr.
Sanchez is a four-year varsity player and the Swiss Army Knife of this Canyon Eagle football team. Why Sanchez is currently vying for the starting quarterback role in a heated competition at the moment, there isn’t a spot on the field that coach Winfrey couldn’t use him on either side of the ball. When he did get his chance as the signal caller last year, Sanchez completed 71 percent of his passes for 278 yards. He also caught 16 passes at wide out for 215 yards.
