Looking forward to reading all of this years previews.
Here is a little help with the Portsmouth Trojans. QB Josh Myers SR– The leading returning rusher and passer in the SEOAL (1006 rushing, 1018 painting) RB - Angelo Jackson SR- (600 yards rushing 5.12 ypc) RB/WR - Jonathan Royster SR- (326 yards rushing 5 TD's, 218 rec yards 2 TDs, and 3 special teams TD's WR - Kyle Simpson SR- (27 catches 447 yards 5 rec TD's, 1 punt ret TD, and 1 int ret TD) TE - Collin Staker – SR (9 catches 191 yards 4 rec TD's, 1 special teams TD) OT - Casey Sanders SR- getting looks from D1 college, injury slowed early in 2009 but came back strong OG - Brennan Howard-SR- Big strong and can move, OG - Clay Lewis- SR- steady play OT - Taylor Brown –SR- Solid play, started most of 2009 OL Kyle Ratcliff – JR- Played well as a sophomore last season OL Mike Brown – SR was sidelined by an injury in 2009 but should be ready to compete for a spot in 2010 Other offensive players WR- Wayne Evans-Jr- Solid receiver WR- Andrew Bendolph-SR Returns from Wheelersburg, and is rumored to be playing football this fall. If Andrew plays he will be another threat for the Trojans ATH- Mason Jordan- JR- Good athlete could play several spots for the Trojans, most likely WR and backup QB as well G- JW Horsley – JW play well for the Trojans in spot play duty last season, should start on the D and play O at times
Defense DE - JW Horsley Jr- Solid player that started the end of 09 after the departure of some from the team DT - Brennen Howard- Sr- a total run stopper, but also quick enough to get after the QB on a pass DT - Clay Lewis/Casey Sanders- Sanders has to be the front runner in this spot didn’t see much time last year due to injury. Look for Howard, Lewis and Sanders to all rotate, with possible others. DE – Up for grabs as far as I know right now. LB - Andrew Gulley SR- returning starter that always gives a solid performance. LB - Trey Underwood SR- another returning starter, Trey is a big hitter that brings it every snap LB - Lynn Collins JR/Angelo Jackson SR- Lynn gets most snaps as Angelo will be at HB, both are solid inside. LB - Austin Porter JR/Jon Royster SR- Porter will defiantly find a spot on the D, just not sure where yet, OLB is a possibility but he could be S, or even try the DE spot. Royster to will be on the field, he can play OLB, or DB. CB - Andrew Bendolph SR- was a lock down CB for the Trojans as a freshman, didn’t play as a sophomore and was injured in 09 while at Burg. CB - Wayne Evans- If Wayne is playing as rumored he should be at CB S - Josh Myers /Austin Porter This spot could see a mix of individuals in it. Myers will be out there when it counts the most. Other Defensive players DB- Cameron Cosby DE- Collin Staker DT- Mike Brown
This is a very rough idea of who will be on the field for the Trojans, but gives you a place to start. Hopefully someone else can give you a little more of the inside scoop.
The offence for the Trojans is pretty well laid out with the only big hole to fill being center. Defense has several spots to fill, but does have a decent nucleus to work with.
The Trojans have upped the schedule some this year as well, with D2 Wilmington replacing D4 South Point, and the return of Logan in league play replacing non league foe Western Brown.
