DeLaCruz has also been back at work in his team camp this week and is encouraged at the team's early results this summer.

"The team camp has been going really well so far. We are just fixing up some things before the start of the season. This team has pretty much the same feel and vibe from last year's team except we have some newer players this season. I've been focused on just getting them together. I've definitely have ramped up my leadership role this summer. I've been just getting to know my teammates better and getting more involved with them this summer."

So what's next for DeLaCruz?

"I'm basically just going to take my time with recruiting. I'm just focused on my team now and my senior season. I'm thinking about waiting until after the season to make a college decision."

Does DeLaCruz set any type of personal goals heading into the season?

"Honestly I don't set anything as far as personal goals. I'm a team guy and it's all about being more than just myself."

Juan DeLaCruz has scholarship offers from Eastern Illinois University, Western Illinois University, Air Force and Augustana (D2).
