Notes: Injuries suffered by Hunter Johnson and Landon Liles who go both ways on offense and defense on the line was a downer for the Tiger. Their return in 2020 is sure to be a welcome signt, and with QB Mason Johnson running the offense don’t be suprised to see Linden-Kildaire make waves.

- DL Vincent Peaters
- OL/DL Landlone Liles
Notes: Johnson is expected to handle the Tigers’ offense this season while Tyson has potential “star power” according to the Dave Campbell’s Texas Football magazine. Kunze is coming back a fourth time as a two-way starter.
