Outlook: Returning skill position talent is lacking for coach Chris Nelson's Wildcats who must find a new QB, RB, and starting WRs. Newcomer Tony Burnett is likely to get the majority of the carries, while the signal caller is up in the air. Strength in the secondary returns with Corner Brian Wade and Safety Jonathan Minchew. The team is very young and inexperienced. It will be a rebuilding year. Look for the team to turn the corner as the season moves along.
