Outlook: The Tomcats have twelve starters back for a squad that finished 2-8 last year. New skill position talent steps in at important positions on the field. Hunter Hendry will assume QB duties after playing ok in limited work last year. Hendry is perhaps more adept at running than passing. At RB Colten Miller averaged more than four yards per carry last season and will again see lots of work. Jake Garner must step into the top WR role. On defense LBs Kyle West and Keton Parrish along with Miller lead the way. Dillion Lillibridge is a key cog in the secondary. There is a possibility of lots of improvement.
