Back at QB is Darveon Trahan who combined to run and pass for more than 1,400 yards last season. Reginald Perry saw significant work at RB last year and enters the season as a starter, though Ronald Jenkins and Coorie Posey could see work. On defense, Darryl Jackson will anchor the group up front with Daniel Jordan a standout at LB and Jalen Batiste captaining the secondary. Duplicating last year will be difficult, but another good season seems likely.
