Coach Jim Rice brings back RB Dominique Range to go along with WRs Shawn Sims, Channing Toombs, Kelton McKelvey and Damonte Baty. Deon Wright is likely to get the nod at QB. The offensive line has a few key guys back too. On defense, Earl Jenkins and Chris Campbell lead the way upfront. With players growing and gaining experience improvement is expected.
