Last season Travis combined to pass and run for more than 2,000 yards. Jaison Strambler is back at RB and Matthew Rodriguez should be a top WR. Along with Rodriguez, Collin Brown and Connor Newsom add depth at wideout. The defense is well rounded and has a few playmakers. A good season is expected.
