True freshman Gaspar Rodriguez of Mount Shasta High School has done well in practices and Knudsen believes he has the potential to help the Eagles. Running back returners Max McDaniel and Mason Scheehean are expected to provide a solid running back combo.
"They both will contribute and know our system well," Knudsen said. OJ Calleja is from Del Norte High School in Crescent City and Hunter Davis is from Portland, Ore. On offense, two quarterbacks who played as freshmen last spring will return, Knudsen said. "We'll have a clearer idea when we start playing where we stand," Knudsen said. Reedley, where Buffalo Bills star signal-caller Josh Allen played as a freshman, moves up a division and will face COS this season. Feather River is not on the schedule this year due since they moved down a division.

This season will be another challenging schedule full of tough teams, including American River, Sacramento City College, and Santa Rosa. There are 13 returners, including two sophomores and 36 new freshmen. "I think we are laying the foundation this year and can build upon it."
"We got a bunch of young guys out here that are all battling and working hard," Knudsen said. Knudsen is pleased with the effort he has seen from the players he does have while dealing with poor air quality issues from fires, which has caused them at times to have practices indoors. This includes linebacker Hayden McDonald, who signed with D1 FCS school Valparaiso. The somewhat bad news: many of their sophomores were able to display their skills last year, so some signed with four-year schools and will be absent from COS this year.
The good news is that the team will get playing time, while all their opponents but Shasta haven't played since 2019. It was odd hearing only silence coming rom this stands last season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, he said.ĬOS was fortunate to be one of only a few junior college football teams to see playing time in the spring, when they faced Feather River and Shasta twice and went 2-2. Head coach Tyler Knudsen said fans should be allowed at Herchel Meredith Stadium, although things could change quickly. The Eagles football team will be cheered on by friends and family members when they take the field at home in Weed to open the season against Diablo Valley on Saturday, starting at 2 p.m. Fans are back at College of the Siskiyous.
