Hunter Hojnacki's rushing total from the 2013 season isn't anything that will make you take a second glance.
His 361 yards on 94 carries is nothing astounding, but Hojnacki's four touchdowns is something to take notice of.
The touchdown total is as much as quarterback Ryan Reed had last season despite running the ball 37 more times than Hojnacki.
Heading into the 2014 season, Hojnacki has an opportunity to improve on both of those numbers with Cory Warford graduated and a backfield up for grabs at Line Mountain.
What has made Hojnacki successful in the past seasons is the ability for him to use his small, stocky stature, at 5-foot-9 and 200 pounds this season, to get into the endzone.
The way Hojnacki is built, and the rest of the Eagles' backfield has him confident heading into the season.
"I think that we're going to have a successful season," Hojnacki said. "We have a lot of returning guys. Our line is going to push. I think we can run the ball over people."
The offensive line has been the talk at Line Mountain with every lineman a returning letterman this season. Those linemen have had a positive influence on the senior's running game.
"A lot of those guys are coming back with experience," head coach Rodney Knock said. "(Hojnacki) looked pretty good behind those guys this week. It always helps when backs and quarterbacks have trust with their lines."
But Hojnacki will likely not be the only one trusting the line at running back or fullback on the Eagles' roster.
Reed is in a battle at quarterback with Craig Reichard. Knock said whoever loses will likely also be in the backfield.
Then there's Kenny Boyer, a sophomore who is also lining up at running back. Knock said Boyer is in the competition for carries and offers depth.
However, Knock also has his eye on Hojnacki in other areas for Line Mountain.
"He's going to be one of our captains," Knock said. "Obviously, he's going to take a leadership role for this team. He's a positive leader."
That leadership has Hojnacki assessing himself, more than the team, in a way to improve from last year's 3-7 record.
"We're just trying to get in shape," Hojnacki said. "We worked all offseason really hard and I think that I, personally, have to get more in shape to be more successful."
Hojnacki won't have much time to get in better shape with the season so close, and competition will be breathing down his neck the entire time.
But Hojnacki isn't looking at it as the running is his alone. He wants to do his part and feels that the rest of the backfield will, too.
"I hope to get a lot of touchdowns, run the ball as a team, work as a team and to get a league title," Hojnacki said.
