Ishmael rushed for 1,173 yards (6.9 average) and 20 touchdowns in 2011 when he was All-MAL first team. Watson is transitioning from quarterback to running back, where his talents will be better utilized. As the Tigers' best blocker, he will be called on to open running lanes for Ishmael. Watson is also an able defender, garnering all-league second-team honors as a linebacker. Replacing him at quarterback is Williams, the starting wing back last season.

Snyder is one of three returning starters on the offensive line. A fourth lineman, Stewart, was the fullback last year.

"We never had one game where we had all of our starters available," Woodruff said. "That was our biggest downfall. If we stay healthy, we'll compete with everybody, and you never know what can happen."
