He was a workhorse last season and produced beyond any reasonable expectations, racking up 2,300 yards and scoring just shy of thirty times. He will again be the focal point of the offense, and until someone shows that they can stop him, there is no reason to go away from him. A QB is needed, but with such focus on the running game, whoever lines up under center will have time to throw and good options at receiver in DeKerrian Cooper, Jimmy Wade and Ben Krebs. The defense will be led by play in the secondary with Jordan Antley, Lairamie Lee, Fred Johnson, Tra Mobley, Chaise McNeal and Cooper all with solid credentials. Players are in place for a good year in a good, competitive district.
