CHARLOTTE CHRISTIAN
Head Coach: Jason Estep (13th year as Charlotte Christian football coach; 109-30 in career).
2018 Record: 11-0 (3-0 in CISAA conference).
2019 Conference: NCISAA Big South conference/NCISAA Division II.
Returning Starters: 11
Returning Letterman: 35
Key Returning Starters: Henry Rutledge, Jr., RB (5-10, 175); Logan Jones, Sr., WR (6-3, 175); J.B. Awolowo, Sr., ATH (5-10, 180); Hudson Jones, So., DL (6-2, 230); Philip Slaughter, Jr., DL (6-1, 230); Caleb Stephens, Sr., LB (5-11, 225); L.J. Brown, Sr., DB (5-9, 175); Mason Diel, Jr., OL (6-1, 240); Chase Preston, Sr., OL (6-7, 260); Nick Greene, Sr., OL (6-1, 250); Grayson Cadd, Sr., DE (6-3, 235).
Key Newcomers: N/A.
Outlook: The defending NCISAA state champions return 11 starters from a team that is used to winning, going 31-3 in the last three seasons. While the Knights do have a lot of new starters to break in, they also have playmakers in multi-position star J.B. Awolowo, WR Logan Jones and RB Henry Rutledge to go with an experienced offensive line that help them score a lot of points. The Knights’ defensive line is also strong with Hudson Jones, Grayson Cadd and Philip Slaughter back to lead the way.
