Outlook: The Wildcats have 14 starters back, and coach Todd Lawson has reason for optimism with key skill position talent back. Starting QB Nichalas Rockwell passed for nearly 1,200 yards with sixteen scores last season. Returning RB Jordan Rollerson is also back after a solid 2007 campaign. At WR, Darius Wright had a bangup year last season, and Dominique Sanders and Jabbor Williams are also capable. On defense, the secondary should be strong with Joseph Biscoe and Rashod Favors back. Top LB Blake McQueen will be joined by Trazil Tucker. A lot of talent is on the roster, and improving on a 6-5 season seems likely.
