Chante Murphy, RB, Jr.
Key defensive playersRashan Hall, LB, Jr.The MAC's leading returner in tackles made 125 last year.
Key newcomerAdam Frederick, QB, RFr.The signal-caller played high school ball at Pittsburghıs Shadyside Academy. He was an all-state selection his senior year. Throwback playerSophomore defensive tackle Roy Attieh oozes with potential. He didn't make a lot of plays as a freshman in 1999, but managed to have some key plays.21st century playerJunior wide receiver Jurron Kelly is only 6-0, 165, but is not afraid to go across the middle and make the tough catch in traffic.Fast factThe Flashes return 15 of 22 starters and finished spring practice with a two-deep roster of only nine seniors.OutlookThere were flashes of brilliance from the offense last year and the defense should be improved in 2000. The running game should be improved if RB DeMario Rozier remains healthy. The defense should be OK, but it wonıt matter if the offense can't produce. Still, it seems that progress is being made at Kent.--Stan Crawley
