Bishop McDevitt's offense ready to take next step as one of the most explosive in the country

The Crusaders have over 100 combined division 1 offers from the offensive starters

HARRISBURG, Pa. — Explosive, fast, and supremely talented are just some of the things the Bishop McDevitt Crusaders offense hopes to be once again this year. 

The team, led by sophomore sensation Stone Saunders, has plenty of playmaking on the perimeter and in the backfield, like junior wide receiver Rico Scott and Minnesota commit and senior running back Marquese Williams, just to name a few. 

It's a good problem to have for Head Coach Jeff Weachter. 

"One opposing coach said last year it's like pick your poison if you want to stop the run or the pass," said Weachter. "We talk to all the guys it doesn't matter stat-wise, it's what you put on film, and we have a lot of good guys."

The McDevitt offense has over 100 combined D-1 offers from the starting 11. It makes them one of the most dangerous teams in the state and country.

"If we really get focused we can be unstoppable on offense," said quarterback Stone Saunders. "No one in the state is going to be able to stop us so it should be really fun."

It's a lot of weapons to choose from, but Saunders is confident everyone will get their shine.

"They respect me and know that I'm a good quarterback and make the reads so they just wait their turn," said Saunders. "When they get the ball they make a big play and score a touchdown. After that they are like 'Hey Stone, whenever you get me the ball it's good.'"

The Crusaders hope that star-studded offense leads them to avenge their 4A state championship loss last season. The pieces are in place, but the team knows execution is crucial. The Crusader's season begins Sep. 3 at home.
