LongandEllisaretwoof themostexperiencedplayersonthesquadasbothhave seen plenty of action over the last several years so linebacker should continue to be a strong point for the Bears in 2013. L-Rlookstoreloadatdefensivelinewith the loss of a pair of three-year start-ersinJasonArenillasandBrandonMartinbut do return talented senior defensive end B.J. Woodley (Charlotte,N.C.). Woodley has a chance for a coming-outpartythisfall.Lastseason,Woodleyfinishedwith37tacklesandfourquarter-back sacks and earned preseason All-SAC accolades this fall. Junior Blake Baker(Bethlehem,N.C.)and senior Jimmy Long (Gainesville, Va.) look to take over the defensive tackle and nose guard positions, respectively. Both have been in the mix in the defensive line rotation so the Bears shouldn’t miss a beat.

Defense Lenoir-RhynehasledtheSouthAtlanticConference in total defense for three con-secutive seasons and the unit could make it four in a row with the number of playmak-ers returning on this side of the ball. L-Rcouldhaveoneof thebestdefen-sivebackfieldsinthenationandmostcertainly one of the best in school history with the return of all four starters. TheBearsfinishedtheyearwith20picksin 2012 and that number could rise this fall. The group is anchored by a pair of first-teamAll-SACandall-regionsafe-ties: senior Myer Nolan (Atlanta, Ga.) at strong safety and senior Michael Green (Kingsland, Ga.) at free safety. Nolanexplodedontothescenelastyearandfinishedwithateam-leadingsixinterceptions while Green had another impressive season with 73 tackles and four picks including one returned 100 yards for a score in the Bears’ playoff win.

Junior cornerbacks O’neil Blake (Kis-simmee, Fla.) and Joe Anderson(Lilburn,Ga.)didnotdisappointintheirfirstseasons as starters for the Bears and com-bined for 129 tackles and four intercep-tions.

Seniors Zach Long(Advance,N.C.)andDoug Ellis (Powder Springs, Ga.) look to battle for one of the outside linebacker positions while the other spot will be a competition between several young players including sophomores Placid Ajoku (Pow-der Springs, Ga.) and Lendre Sparrow (Green Cove Springs, Fla.).

For the past two years, senior Michael Green has earned all-league honors as both a return man and a defensive back for the Bears.

Special Teams Lenoir-Rhynehasquietlydevelopedoneof the most effective special teams units in the league and this year shouldn’t be any different with the return of senior kicker Zach Neumann(Mechanicsville,Md.)andreturnmenMichaelGreenandJarrodSpears. Neumann,inhisfirstseasonasastarterwith the Bears, broke the school single-season record for points for a kicker with 84 in 2012 en route to all-league and all-regionhonors.However,Neumannwillbe pushed again by junior Justin Powell (ConnellySprings,N.C.). Green has earned All-SAC honors as a punt returner for the past two years while Spears has become a weapon at kickoff returnforLenoir-Rhyne.Lastseason,Spears returned kicks of 95 and 99 yards and came on strong late in the year.
