Newcomer Caleb Berry will take over at QB and there are high hopes for him. Harold Hunter should be one target in the passing game along with Tight End Garrett Janke. The starting RB is likely to be Kobie Hajdik. On defense, LBs Creed Henry, Josh Novosad and Kody Neel lead the way. Shea Lehman will anchor the secondary at Corner. Repeating last season's 8-3 campaign won't be easy but it's not impossible.
