Top Returning Offensive Teams in 2020
Grine | NMPreps
We had some high scoring teams in 2019. Today, we discuss some of the teams that will bring back some of the top talent on the offensive side of the ball.
CLEVELAND STORM
Class: 6A
Point For: 511
Average: 39.3 ppg
Rank 2019 Total (6A): 2nd
Record: 11-2 overall (State Champ)
Returning: Jeff Davison (QB/2021), 1169 passing yards, 12 touchdowns; Trey Ortega (ATH/2021), 346 rushing yards, 143 receiving yards, 8 touchdowns; Luke Wysong (WR/2021), 525 receiving yards, 2 touchdowns; Trevon Dennard (WR/2021), 385 receiving yards, 6 touchdowns
Quick Note: New Mexico Mr. Football, Dorian Lewis has graduated but the Storm remain one of the top offensive teams in 2020 with the core returning players that include University of New Mexico commit Luke Wysong (2021). Davison better get the arm ready this offseason because I have a feeling with the amount of weapons the Storm have they are going to toss it around like 500.
FARMINGTON SCORPIONS
Class: 5A
Points For: 461
Average: 41.9 ppg
Rank 2019 Total (5A): 4th
Record: 9-2 overall (Quarterfinals)
Returning: Caleb Carrillo (QB/2021) - 2,992 passing yards, 36 touchdowns, 519 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns; Chance Carrillo (WR/2022) - 810 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns; Macen Alley (WR/2021) - 509 receiving yards and 5 touchdowns; Peyton Halliburton (WR/2021) - 362 receiving yards and 4 touchdowns; Max Montoya (WR/2021) - 351 receiving yards and 8 touchdowns.
Quick Note: Farmington has the numbers returning and the core of the roster has a year of experience. The ceiling is very high for the Scorpions and the headline is the Carrillo-Carrillo connection.
GRANTS PIRATES
Class: 4A
Points For: 546
Average: 45.5
Rank 2019 Total (4A): 2nd
Record: 10-2 overall (Semifinals)
Returning: Brandon Furbee (QB/2022) - 1,597 passing yards, 21 passing touchdowns; TJ Hocker (RB/2021) - 533 rushing yards, 6 rushing touchdowns, 336 receiving yards, 5 receiving touchdowns; Bryan Hernandez (2021/WR-ATH) - 122 passing yards, 3 receiving touchdowns.
Quick Note: The Pirates reached the semifinals last season and a few plays short of playing for the state championship. They lose Isaiah Johnson at RB but the athletes returning have some spark to them. If you look at the rest of the top scoring offenses from last season, the Pirates return more of their skill position players. Maybe not much of a drop off from 2019 as expected?
