The competition at QB will be between Junior Josh Valenzuela and newcomer Parker Rando. On defense, the line will be led by Tackle Eric Chavez and End Adam Clark. At LB, Kenny Zackary is back, while Free Safety Cisco Rey leads the secondary. On paper, the defense is stronger than the offense, but key players could emerge to make the Cougs a solid, balanced squad.
