"It's Time to Do What We've Planned"
"We're excited for how far we've come, and to see where we were last year compared to where we are now." - Gardner-Webb head coach Daniel Elliott
TOP RETURNERS
The entire roster has returned, and the starting lineup won't change much this season. While last season the starting lineup changed frequently.
The Runnin' Bulldogs will have five fifth-year seniors starting, and they're expecting a strong season.
KEY DEPARTURES
There were no departures from Gardner Webb's lineup.
NEWCOMERS
The incoming freshmen were recruited virtually, which left the coaching staff to take a leap of faith with their recruiting process this season.
Two standouts include Grundy High School's Peyton McComas (VA) and Abraham Preston of Wetumpka High School (AL). McComas was a three-time Virginia state champion, while Preston was an Alabama state runner-up last year.
