Gkyson Wright will have the opportunity to earn some snaps this season as well. Both quarterbacks have an accurate arm and can run the offense efficiently. With the rushing attack for the Senators. Robinson has one of the state’s best running backs running the ball. Daryl Searcy rushed for 365 yards and five touchdowns last season.
