Seth Williams could also
receive some carries for the
Eagles.
Roberto Ayala, Izaiah Estell,
Tanner Kilgo, Hank Harrison,
Houston Goodwin, Cameron
Nunn and Brody Peppers will
each get turns at wide receiver
for Cold Springs, though expect
to see Ayala in a number of roles
for the Blue and Gold given his
versatility.
Several kids are also vying for
laying time at H-back and tight
end, according to Cornelius.
The offensive line, meanwhile,
returns all five starters from a
season ago.
Jacob McClendon, Zeke White,
Jagger White, Grayson Phillips
and Brady Bailey figure to open
up holes in the trenches for Cold
Springs’ rash of playmakers.
“That experience helps a lot,
especially with it being my first
year as head coach,” Cornelius
said. “We’ve got an experienced
offensive line, an experienced
quarterback and an experienced
running back. For me, I want
to see us stretch the field more.
We’ve got to attack every point
on the field. Otherwise, I think
that we’re handcuffing ourselves
a little bit.”
With the talent and game
experience at his disposal, the
coach has high hopes for the
offense.
“I expect us to perform,” he
said. “We’ve put in the work all
summer. I think if we’re going
into this season expecting
anything less than big things,
we’re doing the wrong thing.
What that translates to on the
field remains to be seen.”
