Adonnys Wright will be a top ball carrier. On defense, LB should be a strength with Willie Bird and James Smith returning. Jordan Price could be a player that helps on both sides of the ball. Only a sophomore, Price will see time at RB and in the Secondary. Another 5-4 or similar year seems likely.
