Outlook: The Trojans are locked and loaded for 2008. After coach Ronald Johnson's squad went 5-5 last season, he now has eighteen starters back; he lost less than a half dozen players off of last year's roster. Chris Hight is a big bodied QB that played solidly last season, and RBs Vernon Hunt and Reginald Peagram combine for a good one-two punch. Javious Townsend, Marcus Milton, Davieon Johnson, Cameron Russ and Eldricka Buckner should all see time at WR. The defense is also balanced and talented, led by Vernon Hunt and Nonald Napolean in the secondary. A big season should kick off opening night.
