For Louisiana Tech, 2016 saw a third-straight 9-win season with a bowl victory and a second division title in three years. It also saw another batch of stars take off.
The key departures include quarterback Ryan Higgins, wide receivers Trent Taylor and Carlos Henderson, and safety Xavier Woods. While these players will of course mostly be replaced by players already in Ruston, there’s always a few recruits that have the potential for immediate playing time.
