After a 7-4 first year in the program, he has sixteen players back and, oh by the way, he also has a $1.8 million dollar fieldhouse, turf field, gym, weightroom and everything a new school could want. Top RB Jimbo Southard is back, while either Chase Parrott or newcomer Ryan Kidwill will take over at QB. There are lots of good options at WR, including Parrott, if he's not at QB. Tevin Richards, Ethan Selman and Tight End David Lugo are all good options in the passing game. James Hopkins will also see action running the football. A new defensive scheme is being put in, and emphasis must be placed on the defensive line--who must improve. Plenty of starters are back, and improvement is expected.
