"We’re getting to the point now, and not across the board but at a lot of positions, there’s not just a guy backing him up but a guy who can take his job,” Doeren said.

That depth is most evident at running back where the Wolfpack returns senior Shadrach Thornton, who led the team with 907 yards, and junior Matt Dayes, who led the team with 13 touchdowns.

Joining the veterans are Hines, Johnny Frasier and Reggie Gallaspy, who were each rated among the top 10 recruits in the state.

Doeren said there’s no such thing as having too many backs.

“It will work itself out,” Doeren said. “It takes time and reps and a few scrimmages, sometimes it takes a few games to sort it out.”
