This year, ten starters return, but a 26 member Senior class has departed. Sophomore Austin Franklin may take over at QB, with Desmond Baker the likely starter at RB. Davion Green played a lot last season at Tight End and is back to block and catch passes. The offensive line should be solid with a couple key returners. On defense, linebacker play should be strong, and the secondary has some talent. Talent is in the system, but who is going to step up to make the big plays is a question.
