Former Montana quarterback Clifton McDowell joins the offense after being named the Big Sky Newcomer of the Year in 2023. McDowell recorded 2,026 passing yards, 13 passing touchdowns, 753 rushing yards, and nine rushing touchdowns last season. He brings a dual-threat ability that should help take this McNeese offense to the next level.
The Lions return nine starters on defense but will need to improve after ranking No. 104 nationally in total defense. Safety Edwin White-Schultz was a breakout superstar last season, recording 87 total tackles, six tackles for loss, and two sacks. He was named the Preseason UAC Defensive Player of the Year. Defensive lineman Kam'ron Green is a player to watch after recording 9.5 tackles for loss and five sacks over the past two seasons.
Florida Atlantic transfer Daniel Richardson was named the starting quarterback earlier this week. He recorded 2,001 passing yards, 13 passing touchdowns, and 10 interceptions last season for the Owls. He will be protected by one of the most experienced offensive lines in the conference, which returns four players with starting experience.
Defensively, the Spartans were one of the worst rushing defenses in the nation, allowing over 200 yards per game. The secondary is the lone bright spot, led by All-Conference selections Terron Mallory and RJ Coles. Linebacker AJ Richardson earned Freshman All-American honors last season after posting 69 total tackles, 11 tackles for loss, and two sacks.
