Well ths season closed out and we finished slightly ahead of expectations. We predicted a 4-9 finish, but we finished at 5-8, thanks to our upset win over Ferrum. This provides a good foundation going forward.
Alex Young proved to be our more efficient quarterback last season. While Michael Wilson threw for more yards (2387), Young was more efficient, throwing 19 TDs and only 6 ints. Wilson threw 9 TDs against 12 INTs. Wilson, of course, has graduated. Young will return next season, and may get most of the reps, depending on how recruiting turns out.
Our top WR was freshman Herman Ochoa. He caught 55 passes for 732 yards and 5 TDs. Junior Edward Fleming also had a great season, but he was slowed down due to injury. He finished with 49 catches, 731 yards, and 8 TDs.
On defense, DL Thomas Bryant was our top player, making a team-high 94 tackles. He was a senior, though, so he will not return next season. Our impact freshman was LB Mark Melton, who made 63 tackles. He'll look to play an expanded role this season.
Given our softer non-conference schedule and some comings and goings within the conference, we expect to win either 9 or 10 games next season. We will also need to fill 12 scholarships. We'll be looking for two QBs, three WRs, 2 OLs, 3 DLs, 1 LB, and a kicker. Hopefully we can improve upon the foundation we've set.
