Outlook: Key skill position talent must be replaced this season. Jaguar coach Donald Stowers has twelve starters back, but he will rely on RB Charlie Thomas who split carries last year and was an impact player at Corner on defense. At QB, Victor Spikes takes over after playing primarily WR last year. Parnell Wells will be the top returner on the offensive line after being decorated with All District honors two years running. The secondary should be the defensive strength, with Thomas and Justin Labove leading the way. Improving last year's 4-6 mark is possible.
