Sam Houston
Phoenix II to head up the reciver room.
Humphreys enters his third season as a Bearkat, but missed the first season with a broken foot, and didn’ t truly fit the scheme of last year’ s offense. Humphreys can bring the deep threat with a 6-foot-2-inch stature and will fit the offense a lot better. But getting him the ball is going to be the real question for this team.
Phoenix II is somebody to watch out for as a guy who will be considered a No. 2 or No. 3 wideout this season. He started to find a groove later in the last season and can provide a threat with Humphreys.
Sam Houston’ s offensive line is probably the group with the most experience, with Luke Eckardt, Graceson Jackson-Smith, Rhett Larson and James Dawn II all back.
Dawn II will likely become the center for this team and be a core part of opening the hole and keeping the quarterback upright.
But the Kats are going to have to make the right maneuvers with this squad to get things going in the right direction.
Freddie Aughtry-Lindsay was hired to run the defense, and like for-
