Richmond Spiders
Overall Rank: #41
#8 CAA
Richmond and the CAA will not be playing this fall, but the Spiders are well positioned to make a push up the CAA standings after finishing 5-7 overall last season. With a returning quarterback in Joe Mancuso, the offense has hope for improvement. The defense was pretty good last year and returns All-American lineman Kobie Turner. They also have a couple great linebackers in Tyler Dressler and Tristan Wheeler, who each recorded 104 tackles in 2019.
