Players' Spotlight

Adrian Madise
Receiver
6’0”, 206 pounds

Madise did not join the team until a month before the start of last season, but was still the Frogs’ leading receiver. Madise enters the season as Stilley’s top option after finishing last season on a tear — 26 receptions for 506 yards in the last four regular season games.

Ricky Madison
Running back
5’10”, 200 pounds

Madison spent most of last season nursing an ankle injury and deep thigh bruise that robbed him of his break-away speed. Healthy and with his speed back (he has been timed at 4.34 seconds in the 40-yard dash), the junior appears to have the edge over Corey Connally and Texas transfer Kenny Hayter
to be the feat-ured back.

Kenny Hayter
Running back
6’0”, 224 pounds

If Hayter isn’t starting Monday in Cincinnati, he could be by the end of the year. The transfer from Texas ran for 119 yards on 18 carries in the team’s first two scrimmages. Hayter is the largest tailback on the depth chart, and also has bowl experience: as a Longhorn, he played in the 2000 Holiday Bowl and the 1999 Cotton Bowl.

Jason Goss
Cornerback
5’11”, 189 pounds

The three-year letterman returns as the Frogs best cover corner. He will be matched up against the opponent’s best receiver. Goss ranked third nationally with 24 passes defended.

LaTarence Dunbar
WR/Safety
5’11”, 191 pounds

Outstanding on offense and special teams for the last three years, the coaching staff is now looking exploit the multi-talented Dunbar in the secondary. If all goes well, the workhorse senior could be pulling double-duty all season long.

Chad Pugh
Nose Tackle
6’3”, 305 pounds

A second-team all-conference selection a year ago, Pugh is a first-team pre-season candidate for the 2002 campaign. His strength is in run defense, and the junior is theplug in the middle of the defensive line.
