Shun Beachum returns at QB, after passing for nearly 1,000 yards last season and rushing for better than 350 yards while combining for 13 scores. Brian Roberts is also on the roster; he could take snaps at QB or be utilized elsewhere on the field. Deowine Washington split carries last season and should be the guy this year. Jimmy Proctor serves as the top receiver in the passing game. On defense, the secondary should be a strength. Play in the trenches must emerge, and numbers aren't great, but there are solid players in the program.
