Strong, a freshman running back, rushed 15 times for 102 yards in 2015 before an injury ended his season in the second game.

Greg Taylor, a sophomore defensive back, tied for the team lead with three interceptions to go along with 53 tackles, one tackle for loss and one pass breakup. He also had a punt return for a touchdown and was named to the NJCAA All-American second team in 2015.
