The lightning quick back Casey will play in the Big XII after his prep career is over; he will likely better his numbers from last year (over 1,000 yards and twelve scores). Cougar coach Kevin Flanigan needs talent to compliment Casey, and QB Anthony Merka and WR Xavier Frank will try to be those secondary players. On defense, Corner Matthew Guillory is very fast and can make plays. Pedro Manriquez will anchor a line that includes Chris Corman and Paul Vega. Play in the trenches must be consistent, but the roster has key guys, and another good year is likely.
