Outlook: After a 4-6 season last year, the Colts bring back key components at important positions. Kyle McDonald returns at QB after being named an all-district selection last season. Arthur Jackson is back at RB. In the passing game, Charles Castor will likely be the top WR. On defense, Denzel Courtney will lead a LB core featuring Daniel Jenkins and Courtney Oakley. The secondary features Dennis Laurent and Dontay Wafer. Coach Reginald Brown's team should compete week in and week out.
