Quarterbacks Josh Kellett and J.R. Davies are back in the fold, while receivers Dwight Counter, Pierre Thomas and Travis McAlpine will be back. Linemen Curtis Jeter and Antoine Murphy will provide support up front, and defensive specialist Carl Bucknor returns for a second season in the Rio Grande Valley.
