West Texas A&M's defense is experienced, perhaps the most in the secondary, where four seniors are expected to start.

Safety Darnell Johnson, who found out late last season he still had a year of eligibility remaining, anchors a secondary that includes 2007 newcomers Cashmin Thomas and Arseel Shakoor at cornerback and Kyle Seals at strong safety.

Thomas was a first-team all-Lone Star Conference South Division selection, and Johnson and Shakoor were second-team picks.

"It's the last year for all of us. It's all-out," Shakoor said. "We want it to be a dream come true. Florence, Alabama, is the only thing on our minds."
