McCALLIE BLUE TORNADO
Head coach: Ralph Potter (115-69 in 15 years here; 182-101 overall)
Returning starters: 6 offensive, 5 defensive
Key players: FS Brandon Benn (6-0, 185), LB Kris Bowman (6-1, 205), MLB Quindarrius Dunnigan (6-4, 230), QB Deangelo Hardy (5-10, 185), NG Cameron Stewart (6-3, 310).
Team strengths: Experience in the offensive backfield begins with Hardy, an athletic junior who has worked on his passing accuracy in the offseason, and sophomore B.J. Harris (5-10, 195), who already has offers from several Football Bowl Subdivision programs after a breakout varsity debut. There’s also plenty of reason to like about the talent on the offensive line.
