THREE TO SEE

Kevin Armstead RB, FS

1,000-yard rusher last season.

Tanner Tomko, WR/LB

Made 40 catches for 791 yards and seven TDs last season. Recorded 72 tackles and four sacks at the linebacker spot.

Bryson Reeves WR

Caught 34 passes for 702 yards and eight TDs.

OUTLOOK

Junior Jack Clougherty and senior Doyle Kane are competing at the quarterback spot. Once that call is made, things will look clearer for the Golden Knights.

Armstead and Garrison are both great rushers, which will take pressure off of the new QB. The offensive line is also strong. Defensive depth is the main question.
