ALL-AMERICAN ENCORE? Sophomore B-Back Garnett Nicolas made a splash in his first year in the Green, White & Gold, earning Freshman All-American honors from HERO Sports after rushing for 718 yards and nine touchdowns. He moved into the starting lineup in the third game of the season and totaled the second most rushing yards by a freshman in JU history. He topped the century mark in three of his final four games of 2018.

DEFENSIVE RESURGENCE Despite losing several keys players off the defense from last season, Head Coach Ian Shields is excited about the direction of the defense this season. Most of the starters are upperclassman who have logged significant playing time thoughout their careers to this point, plus the addition of several junior college transfers who could contribute right away. The defense is planning on using a variety of formations this year to take advantage of different personnel, as JU looks to slow down teams to help its dynamic offense stay on the field for even longer stretches this season.

PRESEASON HONORS Three Dolphins were named to the Preseason All-PFL Team, all three of who whom were recognized by the league at the conclusion of last season. Junior QB Calvin Turner Jr., sophomore B-Back Garnett Nicolas and redshirt-junior center Dane Cordell were hon- ored. Additionally, those three and five other Dolphins were part of Phil Steele’s 2019 Preseason All-PFL Teams. Both Turner Jr. and Cordell were First Teamers, with Nicolas, senior cornerback CJ Lewis making the Second Team and senior running back Irvin Riley, senior defensive lineman Crandall Maines, senior linebacker Caysaun Wakeley and redshirt-junior safety TJ Coley making the Third Team.
