•OL Caedan Wallace:: Reps at left guard could provide an opportunity to start.
•OL Jack Conley:: Versatile player who can play both tackle and guard.
•DL Jaquelin Roy:: After a promising start last season, Roy is looking to secure a rotational role.
•ED K’Lavon Chaisson:: Signed to revitalize the pass rush.
•S Marcus Epps:: Veteran free safety who could crack the safety rotation.
•CB Miles Battle:: Looking to build off a strong season finale.
