One of the Bulldogs’ strengths Hall discussed involved the players who attended Media Day.

“We have a lot of experience up front on the o-line,” Hall said.

Those experienced linemen include seniors Torres, Martinez and Kendall Croft. Suwannee’s big offensive line also features sophomore Josh Braun, who was named to the MaxPreps All-American Freshmen Team last season.

Hall also said he will have many returning skills players, including running back Carlton Hall and quarterback Tyree Taylor.

After narrowly missing out on the playoffs last year — Suwannee lost both quarters of a playoff shootout — the Bulldogs have been hard at work in the offseason.

They’ll finally get a chance to get started as non-contact practice begins Monday followed by contact practice beginning Aug. 5.

The Bulldogs’ regular season opener is Aug. 25 at Fort White.
