Coach Tracy Blankenship will rely on Austin Tubbs at QB and Jackson McCurdy at RB. Tubbs tossed for more than 1,000 yards last year and McCurdy sprinted for nearly five yards per carry. Rail Bradford may also see carries. At WR Blake Ware and Tight End R.J. Hillman are top targets. On defense Cody Wright and Trevor Wait lead the way at LB. There are things to like in coach Trey Blankenship's team, and improving on last season's one win should occur in the opening couple weeks.
