Outlook: Nineteen starters are back for coach Bryan Welps as the Wildcats look to improve on a 1-9 season. C.J. Amey leads the way at QB with Chris Perez and Sheldon Van Winkle key targets along with Nathan Chestnut. Dylan Woodfin returns at RB for what should be a dynamic offense. On defense, LB should be an area of strength with Skylar Mitchell and Daniel Worsham leading the way. An improved season seems likely.
