A new turf stadium is being built with dressing room, weight room, and 60 yard indoor practice facility. Of 12 starters back, RB and QB are positions that have been vacated. Newcomers Antonio Graves will play at QB, while Tyler McInnis gets the nod at RB. Returning starters John Phillips, Logan Ashby and Damien Watts make for a good group at WR. Shane Anderson, Colton Wood and Hayden Rybiski should make LB a strength on defense. The team will regress, but if young players learn quickly, it can still be a good year.
