Preview:
The Warriors had to say goodbye to the dynamic combo of quarterback Rob Sanders and wide receiver Cayden Cosby with both players graduating this past year. Jacob Medlin is the new quarterback to step up behind a young offensive line while Mikkel Skinner and Mikey Williams will be key at wide receiver and running back.
The strength of the team is on the defensive side where, among the seven returning starters, is highly touted lineman Marcus Downs. Others players who will be key to success on defense are linebacker Hayden Payne, safeties Quinton Hood and Robbie Robertson and cornerback Spencer Adderley.
