Outlook: New coach Chris Fambro's Hornets have seventeen starters returning including RB Brock Stienbock. Veteran offensive linemen Manuel Limon and Preston Klemon along with Tight End BJ Davis should lead the way for Stienbock. Newcomer Taylor Soles may also see carries. The team is pretty experienced but lacks depth and must adjust to a new coaching staff with new philosophies. The Hornets are likely to grow as the year moves along.
