Outlook: A strong sophomore and junior class should aid 11 returning Viking starters. Newcomer JJ Gaines will likely start at QB with experienced WRs in Dexter Richmond and John Morin, and RB Edrick Loften. Coach Steve Hohenberger does not have a lot of depth or experience. If young players do what the coaching staff thinks they can, improvement should be inevitable.
