Outlook: After a one-win season last year, coach Darrell Piske hopes his Eagles gained valuable experience last season and can turn things around. Dalton Piske should see carries with Tight End Andre Gilley a key cog. Chris Jones and Willie Tatum are capable WRs, and LaDarius Brackens has potential at RB. The defense is led by Corners Josh Lynch, Tatum, and Safety Chris Burns. More time learning, gaining experience, and developing a QB are needed, but a foundation is being built.
