Brown . All of them play both ways , offense and defense . Offensively , Malone and Moore can be slotted as wide receivers , with Brown running the ball .
Brown will be the featured back . At the moment , Soliday has any backups as probably “ by committee .” “ We ’ re still developing depth ,” he said . “ It ’ ll be several folks .”
Moore reeled in 338 yards a year ago , scoring three touchdowns . Malone also had three touchdowns , on 164 yards . Getting the ball to them shouldn ’ t be a problem . Cubbie Crosson , who has spent the last few years as Dylan Harbort ’ s backup , is ready to lead .
“ He ’ s stepped up into a leadership role ,” said Soliday of Crosson . Backing up Crosson will be John Robert “ J . R .” Walker . “ He ’ s throwing pretty well , too .”
The Panthers will have an abundance of linemen this time around , 16 by his count . That ’ s a record for him at Tiftarea . “ My first year , we had six ,” Soliday said , clearly excited about potentially being able to rotate multiple players in and out . The Panthers have around 45 players overall , also a big amount for the program .
