The offensive strength should again be on the ground, with D.J. Morrow back after scampering for more than 1,600 yards last season. George White is a good target in the passing game, and Cameron Shead has potential. The defensive front should be above average with Sam Dunnam, Seth Gilkey, and Michael Walker leading the way. The roster is skilled enough that they should compete for a top two district finish.
