Outlook: The Trojans have key talent back among fourteen returning starters this year. Jeremy Conrad leads the offense at RB while Derrick Vasta, Trey Collier and Roy Freeman could also see carries. The defense is experienced and talented with LBs Angel Lurati, Justin Gregory, and Bryson Jones leading the way. Upfront on defense Jerek Foster and Luke Randolph are dependable. In the secondary Safety Trey Collier is solid. After going 9-3 last year with a very good defense, another exciting year looms.
