Head coach: Charles Fant (67-22 in seven years here and overall)
Returning starters: 7 offensive; 7 defensive
Key players: RB Jeffrey Watkins (5-6, 185); OL Jacob Brigman (6-2, 275); QB-MLB Dallas Brown (6-0, 225); K Hunter Hill (6-0, 175); Jalen Haygood (5-10, 170); OL Maverick Tucker (6-2, 290); Faru Williams (6-1, 220); RB-DB-QB Daishun Sims (6-0, 175); RB-DB Khalil Spence (5-9, 165); OL Journe Norwood (6-0, 245).
Team strengths: Led by Brigman, a senior who is the team’s most physical blocker, and Tucker, a junior, the offensive line is solid.
Team concerns: Replacing the two leading rushers from last season, and a total of five quality starters – who were key components in helping win 20 games over the past two seasons, including a run to the Division II-AA state title game in 2017 – will be a challenge.
