Outlook: Coach David Sine's Bulldogs have twelve starters back but must find skill position talent and last year's winless JV squad might not help a ton. Adrian Lighteard is an athlete that will see touches wherever he lines up on offense and is very dangerous. Marcus Nunn is talented and leads the defensive line. The offensive line has some quality players but overall the team badly lacks depth. There is a possibility for improvement but key players must emerge.
