The Trinity Tigers have won three consecutive outright Southern Athletic Association titles. Many of the key players from those teams have graduated. However, the Trinity program has reached a level where it’s reloading instead of rebuilding.

“The biggest question is who will step up and provide depth because we have some rising sophomores who are raw but do a lot of good stuff,” Urban said. “Thankfully, we’ve been able to get those guys a significant amount of playing time in many games because of how well the graduating class performed.”

Urban said the Tigers will look different in many positions, but the standard remains the same.

“We have different guys, and it's our job to put them in the right place,” Urban said. “The expectations have not been lowered, although the journey will differ slightly.”
