Players to watch

Alex Warren, 6-foot-1, 178-pound, QB, Sr.

Warren has become a leader and captain of the River Road Wildcats entering his third year under center. Last season, the South Paw did a superb job commanding the Wildcat run-heavy offense while throwing for 1,133 yards and seven TDs.

Sammy Delgado, 5-foot-11, 171-pound, RB, Sr. 

Delgado was a big-time compliment to Warren making for a dangerous combination heading into the 2024 season. Delgado proved himself for head coach Bryan Welps last year rushing for over 1,000-yards.

Zanti Marrufo, 6-foot, 255-pound, OL-DL, Sr. 

Anchoring the offensive line for a strong run game is Marrufo. Starting every game last season, Marrufo was a trustworthy lineman that could pave a way grading out at 80 percent.
