Johnson, a redshirt senior from Lake Taylor High, led the Spartans in every major receiving category last season with 42 receptions for 565 yards and six touchdowns. Banks, a redshirt senior, started all 11 games at left guard. Whitehead, a junior defensive back from Kempsville High, ranked sixth nationally with six interceptions.
