Coach Ronald Hooker had depth and talent at WR with Michael Holmes, Joshua Butler, and Morrison Sias. The defense has ten starters back, including Gabriel Young and Lonnie Wilson up front and Marcus White at Linebacker. In the secondary, Jeremiah Reed will be a staple at Corner. Taking momentum from last year into this season could mean an improved record and more confidence.
