Concerns:
- Skill players are new and they lost productive players
Recruiting:
- Santiago is a 1-AA/D2 prospect who may play h-back
- Sterling Newlin is a D2/D3 candidate
- Duncan is a dark horse who weighed 400 lbs. as a freshman, losing 30 in the last year who has a size-18 shoe – he worked hard, is strong, and moves much better, with much of his recruitment depending on his senior film
- The other seniors may go D3
- Underclassmen:
- Young has track speed and is part of the track team
Coach’s Comments:
“We have a lot returning, but some production graduated. We have close to 30 seniors and we have a good class coming in behind them. We also have some sophomores we are excited about. Things are going well.” – Head Coach Ryan Fullen
