Actually Boyle returns their most explosive runner, Devin Cox who split the time with Cook at RB. Cox still had over 1500 yards and 17 TD's last season. He will be a senior this next year.

Zach Hester (who started at LB last year) will be moving to the offensive side as well I believe.

Blake Mason played a lot last year at TE and is a good prospect as a Junior next season. He had 7 TD catches last year which led the Rebels in that Department.

Steven Talbott likewise returns as a tall receiver with 2 TD catches in 2010.

Lloyd Hall snagged 18 throws last year and will be back for his Junior campaign.

Finally, Bryant Warnock showed up at the end of the season as a transfer and didn't have time to learn the system. Still he rushed 5 times for 49 yards and 1 TD in only 4 games.

The Rebels return more at the skill positions than you think.

That said, they are still having to find some replacements off the last squads that led the way (Most notable being Lamar). I look for Highlands to win the early matchup but the Rebels should improve as the season progresses. If they get a chance to hook up again later in the year I think Boyle might make a better game of it then. :Thumbs:

And don't forget Whittle at QB who stepped in the W. Jessamine game and played like a starter. Harrington also returns as a starter on defense and is the emotional leader of the team. Warnock won't be an option next season; he has been sent back to Florida.
