Outlook: Behind quarterback Danny Hong, there is plenty of depth at the position, including sophomore Damuzhea Bolden and Stetson Stallworth, but little experience. With its bevy of skill players, Bishop Gorman will once again dominate in-state competition. If it gets consistent play behind center, the Gaels will be in the national title hunt.
