    • OFFENSE

    • WR John Ross III (Jr.)
    • TE: Darrell Daniels
    • Holder: Jeff Lindquist (QB)
    • OT: Jake Eldrenkamp and OL Shane Brostek

    DEFENSE

    • DL: Damion Turpin and Elijah Qualls (Jr.)
    • OLB: Joe Mathis and Psalm Wooching
    • S: Brandon Beaver and Buddy Baker (Jr.)
    • CB: Kevin King and Sidney Jones (Jr.)
