As a RB he averaged a ridiculous 12 yards per carry last season, and on defense is a standout. C.J. Griggs is a top target in the passing game while Will McGonagle and Andrea Brown could emerge as solid WRs. Kade Kucera is likely to step in at QB. On defense Michael O'Guin, Cheavon Richardson and Leslie Glass Thomas lead the line. Otis Hawkins and Terrance Alliniece are reliable in the secondary. Talent is in place for a run at a title.
