Outlook: The defense will lead the Panthers this season, as coach Mike Pappas' team tries to rebound from a three-win season. Tackle Marvin Foster, End Vincent Johnson and Jonathan Angton lead the defensive front, with LBs Jacob Smith and Curtis Fortenberry handling the middle of the defense, and key secondary members Larry Mitchell and Eric Wilson back. On offense, Liquor Lockhart will be the primary ball carrier, but QB is a major question mark. If key guys come together then improvement is expected.
