Liberty’s Strong Portal

Transfer RBs Kanye Udoh and Kam Davis make up the backfield with Rashawn Cunningham and Makai Jackson filling out the receiver room. All Power Four transfers.
They also return 57% of production from last season including 65% on offense and 50% on defense making up 105 returning starts.
Hilltoppers At The Top Of The Hill
This is more of a wait and see pick with tremendous roster turnover with only 32% returning production being the worst in the conference. Receiver KD Hutchinson was named to the All-CUSA preseason first team with Rodney Tisdale Jr. expected to be the QB1.
They are a consistent 8+ win team with the most championship game appearances among current members.

Jacksonville State has now been to two straight conference title games and are in position to make it three with the second most returning production at 57%.

Caden Creel has high expectations after finishing his freshman season for 1,514 pass yards, 1.075 rushing yards, and 16 total touchdowns.
Blue Hens Keep Fightin
