Coming off a 6-4 campaign, he has ten starters back, but key skill position talent must step up. At QB, Trey Berry will lead the offense after playing primarily WR last season. Fullback Nick DeSantiago scored ten times last year and will see plenty of carries this season. Brandon Lawrence is the team's top returning WR. On defense, LB Justin Heath and Corner Ryan Slaughter will lead the way. As is frequently the case with a key newcomer or two emerging, the Rebels will be a player in the district race.
