Season Outlook

Back to Top

The Bobcats have twelve starters back for coach Jay Godwin, including key skill position talent. Kevin Prindle returns at QB, while Jordan Labby and Antwan Hughes will compete at RB. The offensive line has a couple of key guys back for an offense that should be solid including WVU recruit Jordan Weingart. On defense, Linebacker play should be excellent with Antwan Hughes, Kyle Oehlbeck and Richard Hagley all returning. The defensive front should be a strength with three key players back. The schedule is again very difficult, and a couple key receivers must be replaced. That being said, talent is on the roster and another big year is expected.
