Elijah Espinoza brought consistency to the back line with 45 games played and 41 starts, contributing 1 goal and five assists. His defensive awareness and passing ability helped shape a strong foundation for the Renegade defense.

Hugo Viramontes offered offensive spark from defense, starting all 44 matches. He tallied six goals, three assists, and two game-winning goals, showing sharp instincts and a reliable presence on both ends of the pitch.

Jonathan Juarez, another defensive mainstay, played in 40 games, starting 36. Known for his vision and passing, Juarez recorded nine assists across two seasons and was a key transitional player from the back to the midfield.
