Outlook: Coach Neil Searcy has thirteen starters returning for a team that went 3-7 last season and winless in conference play. Tevin Thomas is the likely starter at RB, while Marquise Wiley and Tevin Edwards should combine for a solid receiving core. Who will start at QB is a big question. On defense, LB Demtrion Cooper will lead the way, with Richard Evans leading the way on the line. Some talent is on the roster, but key positions must be dealt with; an uphill climb exists.
