On the offensive side of the ball, you have guys like Troy Franklin, Kris Hutson, Terrance Ferguson, Moliki Matavao, Byron Cardwell, Dont’e Thornton, and potentially Ty Thompson who will be seeing the field and who will all have a big hand in the future of the program.

On defense, you have recently-transitioned Jackson Powers-Johnson, Kristian Williams, Bradyn Swinson, Jeffrey Bassa, Dontae Manning, Trikweze Bridges, Avante Dickerson, and Daymon David.
