Sun Belt Showdown: Which Team Will Seize the Unexpected Opportunity and Dominate This Season?
One exciting thing: Receiver Corey Rucker is Hurst’s competition for the mantle of “best wideout in the Sun Belt.” Along with quarterback Jaylen Raynor, the Red Wolves have the most proven quarterback-receiver duo of any team in the entire Group of Five.
Player to watch: EDGE Bryan Whitehead had four sacks last year. The team’s top 11 tacklers are all gone, leaving Whitehead, the team’s sack leader, as its returning tackling leader, too.
12. Coastal Carolina
- 2024 final TRACR rank: 11th (13th OFF, 8th DEF)
- 2025 preseason TRACR rank: 12th (12th OFF, 9th DEF)
One scary thing: The quarterback outlook is somewhat bleak, with a pair of third-school transfers here to fight for the job throughout the season. I am not sure that MJ Morris (via Maryland and NC State) or Emmett Brown (via San Jose State and Wazzu) will improve Coastal’s fortunes.
