Kyle Stone should start at QB, and Richard Williams will see a lot of carries. Nathan Riley will be a top option at receiver. The defense will be headed by Justin Dickerson at LB, Kevin Stone in the secondary, and Emanual Castellaja on the defensive front. A lot of work needs to be done to remain good.
