"Should be a noticeable improvement based on returning playing experience and juniors coming up." While the Knights finished 3-6-1 last season, they only missed the playoffs by one league game. They will have to break in a new QB this fall, but Daniel Owen sounds very athletic, having seen time at QB, RB, and WR last year. DE/WR Jon Hunt sounds intriguing as a sophomore this fall. Josh Nelson will be one of the leaders on the lines on both sides of the ball.
