Outlook: QB Riko Smalls, who passed for 2,985 yards and 33 TDs last season, has graduated. Leading rushers Toben Opurum, a major D-I recruit, and JR D'lyle Washington are back, however. Opurum was also the second-leading receiver last season. DB Josh Peprah and LB Conrad Bongo will headline the defense.
