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.

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