HOWARD HUSTLIN’ TIGERS

Head coach: John Starr (8-13 in two years here; 147-112 overall)

Returning starters: 9 offensive, 11 defensive

Key players: RB Tremonte Brooks (5-8, 180), OL Deonte McCrosky (6-3, 275), DE LeBrian Morris (6-2, 200), RB Devontay Smith (5-11, 200), QB Marquez Williams (5-8, 190).

Team strengths: The defense got stronger as the season went along last year, so having every starter back on that side of the ball should make the Hustlin’ Tigers a very stingy unit.
