"Both those guys will go and be good, good football players," said Hartman. "Both of them are all-district football players. Both of them are program guys. Both of them weren’t projected as starters as sophomores and as juniors, they both started and played a whole lot. They’re going to be missed. I think both are very, very good examples for another guy that is sitting there on the silver (JV) team or the JV team."
As per MaxPreps' records, Villasenor played defensive tackle for the Rebels, standing six-feet tall and weighing 222 pounds. Last year he participated in 12 games and recorded 58 total tackles with 37 of them solo and three tackles for a loss.
MaxPreps also notes that Hernandez served as an outside and middle linebacker for the Rebels. He stands six-feet tall and weighs 200 pounds. Last year, he played in 13 games, recording 85 total tackles including three tackles for a loss.
