Outlook: After winning eight times last year, the Lions have eleven starters back, including RB Ayron Miles, who rushed for nearly 1,000 yards and ten scores last season. At QB, Austin McDaniel will battle for the starting nod after learning in a backup role last season. On defense, Brett Brewer, Juan Martinez and Ethan Martin will lead the way. Beyond RB, the offense needs playmakers to step up, while the defense should be solid if not spectacular. Another good year should be in the works.
