Outlook: The Leopards will utilize either Luke Henderson or Josh Schneider at QB this season as they look to improve on last year's 4-5 campaign. Only 25-percent of last year's roster is back and that means newcomers must fill key roles. Four starters return with two each on offense and defense. Andrew Crouch and Dvante Daniels should lead the defense at LB. DeAndre Dugan will be the primary ball carrier on offense. A lot of work needs to be done.
