Outlook: Coach Dale Trompler's Tigers have twelve starters back but must replace key skill position talent. Last season RB Walter Smith and QB Cody Sherman played sparingly and now must take over full time jobs. At WR Blake Bearden will be a key target. On defense linemen Dylan Griffin and Bo Tate lead the way, with Taylor Robinson and Dustin Watson key starters at LB. If young talent in the backfield plays well, and the offensive line gives them an opportunity to succeed, a good year is likely.
