Yoon is one of two quarterbacks on the roster, alongside Gehrig Slunaker (Mt. Vernon Fortville).

Patel is part of a four-man wide receiver group that features standouts from Parke Heritage, Evansville Mater Dei and Gibson Southern.

Yoon and Patel were a big part of that success, connecting on 15 touchdown passes. Yoon totaled 2,393 passing yards and 26 touchdowns. He added another 858 yards and 13 TDs on the ground.

Patel has put together back-to-back 1,000-yard receiving season with 1,152 yards on 67 catches as a senior.
