Seneca has one of the top dual-threat quarterbacks returning this fall in Nolan Seabury. The senior threw for 1,059 yards and 14 touchdowns to just five interceptions last fall. He also ran for 965 yards and 16 touchdowns as Seneca’s second-leading rusher. Seabury has been a big part of the Bobcats’ offense throughout his career and led Seneca with three interceptions on defense last fall. Seabury was a leader for the Bobcats last fall and will face another challenging year as Seneca lost numerous starters to graduation.

Seneca also lost Dylan Ellenberger and Trey Pound on the offensive and defensive lines and playmaker Collin Libra as well. Libra was the Bobcats’ top receiver with 37 catches for 568 yards and 10 touchdowns, while Anthony Buscemi had 10 catches for 115 yards and one touchdown, and Beau Barber had six catches for 143 yards and one touchdown….
