Levi Boatright returns at running back and spearheads a backfield that also includes Anthony Knopp, Gunner Creel and Zac White. Lane Tipton and Brayden Cason (wide receiver), and Jayden Perkins and Christian Couch (tight end) will be involved in the offense as well. Gavin Phillips, Brandon Holmes, Jacob Persall, Jacob Holderfield and Tyler Suryono — all seniors — form an experienced offensive line for the Broncos. Moss hopes — in addition to replacing Chaney’s production — the offense continues to make improvements. “We want to get better every day, starting with practice,” he said. “As games progress, we want to get better and stress the importance of us getting better. I’m an effort guy. If they give me effort, I can’t ask for much more out of them. If we do that, I think good things will come.” DEFENSE Phillips, Holmes, Persall, Couch and Perkins will form the Broncos’ defensive line. Boatright, meanwhile, will be joined by Suryono and Holderfield at linebacker. Perkins, Knopp and Marsh are names to watch in the secondary. After allowing just 18.6 points per contest in 2018, Holly Pond dipped to 34.6 last season. Moss said he planned to simplify things on that side of the ball this fall.
