Outlook: Six starters return for Mustangs' coach Chris Edwards including key backfield contributors. Jabarri Wesley returns at RB after scoring more than a dozen times last year. Cody Jones is back at QB after seeing very limited work last season. Corey Fox is another option at RB who may see work. On the offensive line Devorick Terry and Chris Skaggs are key cogs. On defense LBs Brandon Lindsey and Nolan Stricklin lead the way. Aaron Roach anchors the defensive line. Another good season is likely.
