Lansing Lions

KEY RETURNEES

• QB Tyler Terron, QB Litton Van Der Werff, HB/LB Spencer Blew, WR/CB/P Parker Gibson, OL/LB Nick Pfrimmer, FB Tyler Baughman, DT Derique Cary, OL Zach Hammer

KEY LOSSES

• QB Cullen Demarest, RB Dillon Scanlon, OL Tyler Gates, OL Matt Grisham

WHAT'S SOLID

• Depth at skill positions with the help of a large senior class, including Gibson, who in the last game of ’09 had 13 catches for 176 yards and two touchdowns.

WHAT'S NOT

• Run defense and depth on the offensive line. Several of last year’s blockers do not return, and the Lions will emphasize the fundamentals to try to improve run defense.
