Carl Nnaji will get a chance at RB, while Daniel Rockett returns at WR. Who will start at QB is a major question. On defense, the secondary has some players worth watching in Ben Mezak, Blake Doerr and Melvin Egbe. Though talent is present, only thirteen guys are back from last year's varsity team, and newcomers must play big roles.
