Experi ence will be found on the defensive side of the ball, and with the special teams unit, but the Toreros will be overhauling its offense with seven starters gone. Spearheading the defense will be returning First Team All-PFL performers Brian Luman (5-11, 218, senior) and Bryan Baxter (5-11, 210, senior). Luman, who moved to safety after the loss of starter Kyle Slusser (broken leg), led the Toreros in tackles with 101 (57 unassisted). Selected the team's Defensive Player of the Year, he also chipped in with 5 interceptions (110 return yards) and 7 pass break-ups. A versatile athlete, he twice was voted the PFL Player of the Week for defense, and even earned one PFL Special Teams Player of the Week honor. He averaged 28.1 yards per kickoff return for the Toreros. Baxter earned First Team honors this past season after racking up 83 tackles and 3 quarterback sacks. A three-year starter, he was named to the PFL's Second Team in 1999 after he tallied 93 tackles. Two players that will make an immedi<\te impact on the Torero defense include seniors Kyle Slusser (6-0, 190, safety) and Anthony Banovac (6-1, 260, tackle). Both players were lost last season due to injury after earning Second Team All PFL honors in 1999. Slusser should move back into the safety slot where he accounted for a team-best 97 tackles and 4 interceptions in I 999. He is currently tied as the Torero career record holder for interceptions with 12. Banovac returns to the tackle position where he notched 34 tackles and had a team-best 7 sacks in 1999. Other starters back that make the Torero defense such a strong unit include junior defensive back Marvin Banks, Jr. (5 - 7, 156), senior DL Brandon Camacho (5-9, 231 ), senior defensive back Jason DeMello (5-8, 180), senior tackle Joseph Herrera (6-1, 255), and senior defensive back Wesley Morgan (5-10, 180). The special teams corp will be in good hands with the return of senior punter Dylan Mora (Honorable Mention All-PFL, 36.3 average), and kicker Brent Labarrere (6-1, 180).
