Jeremy Franco: Gabrielino, Sr., # 80, WR/DB, 6-0, 180.
2012 stats: 18 receptions, 264 yards, 14.67 avg. , 37 receiving yards per game.
Defensive: 9 total tackles
Franco flew under the radar last season as a junior playing in the shadow of senior Cameryn Matthews who had over 600 yards receiving and eight touchdowns. Matthews is gone now and Franco, who was second in total yards receiving last year, is ready to step up and have a big year for the Eagles. With quarterback Elijah Peters (1662 yards) returning, Franco will be his favorite target. Franco, with his long arms and leaping ability can be a force in the secondary as well. Gabrielino, who finished 7-3 overall last year but missed the playoffs, is counting on Franco to help them take that next step.
