The Greyhounds will rely on QB R.J. Garza who has tons of potential, and up-and-comer P.J. Martinez at RB. Ryan Flores may also see carries. At WR Rene Valderrama and Noe Cuevas should be solid. Eduardo Torres at Defensive End and Armando Sanchez at LB lead the defense. More quality players are needed but a nucleus is in place.
