Our offense looks to be very solid up front with six players returning with starting experience and a host of talented newcomers joining the offensive line group. Skill players return at every position including all-conference WR Ryan Larsen (SR). The biggest question mark is at QB where Ben Green (JR) and Tyler Smith (SO) are battling to replace a three-year starter at that position.

Expect a very physical and nasty defense this year from the Prairie Wolves with the strength of this group coming from a core of three returning senior starters at linebacker.
