"That's high school football," he said. "You can't cut them. You can't waive them. You can't draft them. They're all walk-ons. You have to figure out that puzzle as soon as you possibly can, and that's part of the fun of the job. It's constantly changing. The personality of the team changes." Greenwood will be breaking in a new quarterback in senior Jace Presley, who has been the team's junior varsity quarterback the last two years. Jones said the team has a lot of confidence in the 6-2, 182-pound Presley. "Jace has been in waiting now for about three years," Jones said. "He's got a ton of reps. He knows the offense backwards and forwards. He's just got to step up now and be the guy." Presley will have some help with all-con- ference junior running back Hunter Wilkin- son (750 rushing yards, 359 receiving yards) and senior wideouts Treyton Dawson (58 receptions, 855 yards) and Lazaro Angel (44-509). But Jones said the key will be the offensive line, led by seniors Kevin Douglas (6-2, 271), Nathan Nethers (6-1, 217), Halen Carter (6-0, 218), Traven Nichols (5-10, 271) and Michael Emberson (5-8, 264). "I think it's a huge responsibility on our offensive line to protect (the quarterback)," Jones said. "We've got to make sure that he stays upright and stays clean."
