Head coach: Jeff Witte (first year)

2018 record: 7-3 (5-1 Nisqually)

Key players: Hunter Wallis, jr., RB/LB; Anthony Hernandez, jr., RB/LB; Nick Lewis, sr., RB/LB; Jacob Manavie, jr., RB/LB; Jacob McKeel, sr., QB/DB; Aaron Phillips, sr., OL/DT.

Outlook: The Eagles lost a lot of seniors to graduation, including their quarterback, top three receivers and seven of their ten leading tacklers. First-year head coach Jeff Witte will have to rebuild with a much more youthful program this year, but he does have 1,000-yard rusher and leading tackler Hunter Wallis returning, who should continue to be a standout on both sides of the ball. The Eagles also get to play home games on campus this year with the completion of stadium seating at their new turf field.
