Junior Wyatt Curtis (6-0, 180) will also get some looks at running back. The Comets will also use a fullback, and the coach pointed out three players who will rotate in and out of that spot in senior Jerry Cochran (5-10, 210), sophomore William Houston (5-6, 155) and junior Ethan Vaughn (5-7, 170). Fullbacks in the Comets' offense are mainly blockers, but they will carry the ball some. At wide receiver, the Comets are "very excited" about Davis at the position. Junior Chance Kolysko, sophomore Deaven Noe, junior Brent Morikawa and Christian Glass, if he's not playing quarterback, will line up at wideout. Fresh - man Easton Wiggins also will get a look at receiver. Sophomore Jager Pifer (5-10, 165), junior Josh Hix (6-0, 150) and sophomore Jake Morgan (5-9, 155) are all getting looks at tight end. Dushane feels like the Comets' offensive line should be a team strength with seniors Kade Moore (6-2, 330) and Dustin Campbell (5-10, 270) returning. "They're both se - niors," Dushane said. "Those are the guys that we're going to hang a whole lot of our success on this year. … Those two are going to be the backbone of the offensive line." Moore will play left tackle, and soph - omore Jacob Jones (5-10, 185) will line up next to him at left guard. Junior Yeng Lee (5-6, 215) will line up at center "Yeng's a powerful young man that will help us a lot," Dushane said. Campbell plays right guard and ju - nior Hayden Evans (6-1, 215) is at the right tackle. "We have good experience and size," Dushane said. Junior Zack Lamont (5-7, 240), senior Christian Kaiser (5-9, 185) and sopho - more Warren Chewey (5-8, 205) could also be options on the offensive line. Noland Perdue (5-8, 180), a sopho- more also could get a chance to show what he can do. Offensively, the Comets will be at their best controlling the ground game and the time of possession. "We're running the ball and offensive- ly we're running a lot of plays and taking a lot of time off the clock," Dushane said. "We're not going to try and speed it up and run clock like that. We want to play a power football game and be methodical as we go down the field. I'm kind of an old throwback, but I think that's what fits us best." Defensively, the Comets will be mul - tiple up front. A lot of the same names along the of- fensive line will be on the defensive line. Moore, Evans, Campbell, Lamont, Cochran and Curtis are guys who will be playing on the defensive line. The Comets will use two to three linebackers depending on the situation. Pifer, Daris Glass and either Vaughn or Houston will man the linebacker positions. Davis, Morikawa, Reeder, Kolysko, Christian Glass, Noe, William Hall and Dustin Battiest will get a chance to prove what they can do in the second - ary. Bobby Honaker (5-8, 155), a sopho- more, is also an "up and comer," Du- shane said.
