Outlook: The Tigers have thirteen starters back after winning once last season. The offensive line is strong with Jorge Herrera, Leo Ramirez and Jose Molina leading the way for returning starting RB Miguel Mata who barely missed out on a 1,000-yard season last year and should accomplish the feat this year. Colton Brownson gets the nod at QB, with targets needed in the passing game to go along with Tight End Andre Evans. The defense will have strength at LB, with Fernando Tovar and Joe Gonzalez returning. Defensive playmakers are needed, but the program seems to be in good hands, and a foundation is being built.
