Season outlook: Northeast brings back a lot of experience at the skill positions on both sides of the football.  Three starters are back on the offensive line with Covington, Knippelmeyer and Woodhead and sophomore Bjorkman will be a contributor.  There will be a battle for starting quarterback between sophomore Jacian Brown and senior Landon Hoff. Senior Brecken Wilke is the veteran wide-receiver, while junior Levi Sherman and sophomore Marshawn Jefferson will also contribute at that position.  The Rockets are showing some consistency that could help them through the season.
