Among them is a big time player. Starting QB Jacob Karam returns after firing for nearly 2,000 yards last season with 25 scores. Karam has a strong arm and poise in the pocket; he will look the way of WRs Andre Geautreaux and Shane Bergeson. The defense will be led by LBs Tanner Chidester and Alec Williams. Kevin Thornton is a standout at Safety. Another 7-3 season like last year is doable.
