Outlook: Coach Ronny Reed's Tigers have fifteen starters back from a team that earned just one victory last season. Bernard Hall will likely start at QB with Jason Blacketer a good option at RB. Cornelius Richardson is another candidate to get carries. On defense Tavion McCullar and Nick Simione are solid at LB and newcomers Alfredo Acol and Hank Hustead add depth at LB. Three linemen that will play both ways are Brelan Fox, Gaston Wilder and Damien Wilson. Improvement is very possible.
