There may not be a team that lost more production due to graduation than Dunbar. The Wolverines will be young and unproven in 2021. There isn’t a player on the roster that scored a touchdown or caught a pass last season.
There is plenty to play for. Dunbar is looking to make the playoff in back-to-back years for just the second time in program history and first since 1990-91. To make that happen the Wolverines will have to take care of business in league play and figure out a way to steal a couple of wins against a very tough non-conference schedule.
Dunbar is going to be a team of mystery and intrigue. It will be interesting to see how the season plays out. One thing is for sure, there are a ton of Wolverines who are going to get the opportunity to step up and shine.
Division III, Region 12
2020 RECORD: 4-3, 3-1 DPL
COACH: James Lacking (0-0 at Dunbar, first year)
