After a one win-season, coach Stephen Burrow returns twelve starters, split evenly on both sides of the ball, with QB Caleb Hollbrook leading the way. Bricson Tatum played a good amount last year and will handle starting RB duties. Tyler Lewis should be a key target in the passing game. The defense is led by Jeremy Curlin and Dustin Gordon on the line, and Matthew Madison and Kyle Cortines at LB. As always, newcomers must step forward, but the Goats should be improved.
