Outlook: After a two-win season last year, coach Ron Callahan has fourteen starters remaining, including standout RB Trentin Patton. Last season, Patton scampered for more than 700 yards with seven scores. Alex Cloudy should start at QB, while Jeremy Small and Sir Ryan Netherly are top WR threats. Cloudy doubles as a Safety on defense and will be joined in the secondary by Marcus Johnson and Small. Jordan Small, Jerome Davis and Shon Parfait anchor the defensive line. Some pieces to the puzzle are present, but quality newcomers must mix in with veterans.
