--QB Wayne Younger threw for more than 1,300 yards and nine touchdowns and was second on the team in rushing with 536 yards as a freshman last season. He didn't go through contact in the spring due to breaking his collarbone week 11 of last season. He must improve his decision-making, however, after throwing 17 interceptions.

--LB Scott Bryant had an outstanding sophomore season, leading the Panthers with 91 tackles.

SPRING MOVERS

--WR Jeremy Dickens -- The junior led FIU with three TD receptions in seven games last season, and should be a more dependable threat in 2008.

--DB Ashlyn Parker -- The junior made the move to defense from wide receiver last season and performed well. However, he is poised to be an all-conference caliber defensive back this season.

--WR Marquis Rolle -- The sophomore had an outstanding spring and could be a key playmaker for the Panthers in 2008.

QUOTE TO NOTE
"We had a good spring as a team. We worked hard and we're getting better as a team. We are making strides, but we have so much more hard work to do." -- FIU senior DB Jeremiah Weatherspoon.
