2024 Position Group Preview – Linebackers
It’s not easy to replace a 5-time All-American. Richmond has that task in 2024 with the departure of Tristan Wheeler, and while we won’t simply replace his production it would be hard to find a roster more ready to take on that task.

2024 Position Group Preview – Offensive Line
Gone is two-time 1st team All-CAA selection Ryan Coll, however the Spiders still have plenty of experience up front. Albany gave this group a taste of what the most physical teams in the country can do, and I expect these guys to respond to that in 2024.

2024 Position Group Preview – Defensive Backs

2024 Position Group Preview – Tight Ends

2024 Position Group Preview – Running Backs
It’s been six years since Aaron Dykes or Savon Smith weren’t the primary ball carriers for the Spiders. 2024 will feature plenty of new faces and the chance for some younger Spiders to impress early on.
