Donte Raymond is a big time performer who surpassed 1,200 yards on the ground last year. Eric Hart will spell Raymond and help keep him fresh. Trey Lambert will start at QB and Jacoby Carrington will back him up. Justin Hallmark, Logan Domingue and Byron Jones are top targets in the passing game. On defense Seth Hunt and Jarod Rabalais are strong on the line. Alfredo Velazquez, Wasey Weisse, Justin King, Trey Bellard, Mitchell Tully and Andrew Edgerly lead the LBs. In the secondary Anthony Ortiz along with James Green and Lorenzo Netro are solid. After winning nine games last year, pieces are in place for another big season.
