Der'rikk Thompson is back at RB but is an equally adept pass catcher as ball carrier. Sophomore Ryan Nihols steps in at QB after playing a limited role last season. On defense LBs Joseph Noyola, Nick Reeves and Max Switzer lead the way. In the secondary Cody LePelley and Terrence Franklin are veterans. With a lot of starters back, if QB play is solid, an improved year seems likely.
