Former Peach County, Ohio State and Georgia Southern quarterback Antonio Henton finally got in uniform two years ago only to get injured and miss part of 2011. He finished 2012 seventh in the SIAC in passing efficiency and first in yards (2,604) and touchdowns (20), helping the Wildcats to a division title and trip to the playoffs.

Adding to the concerns is the fact that the Wildcats are also basically starting over at wideout, a spot that has been fairly strong regardless of the quarterback. Inexperienced veteran Chris Broomfield is back, and freshmen Isaiah Spencer and Michael Eddy have joined the race. A familiar face is in uniform again with the return of Eugene Smith.
