Outlook: The Oak Ridge Trojans return 4 starters (actually two players with two starting positions each). The task of team leadership falls to Brett Thompson WR/DB and Kyle Gohagen OL/DL. Thompson has been the Trojans top wide receiver for the last two years. He's a nationally ranked DI recruit with four offers as of this writing and plenty of additional interested parties. Thompson produced 570 receiving yards and 41 tackles/assists. The Spartans, as a whole, are a very inexperienced team. Coach Eric Cavaliere told us several players would be filling new positions this season.
