Nitro couldn't resist returning Greg Eads to the backfield.

The 6-foot-4, 305-pound Eads, who was switched from fullback to offensive tackle during the offseason, will likely see a few plays in the Wildcats backfield each week, according to coach Scott Tinsley.

"We were watching tapes from last year," Tinsley said, "and we had so much success with him as our lead back that we felt we needed to have a couple sets with him as fullback."

Wearing No. 54, Eads played 15 snaps at fullback two weeks ago against Hurricane. On his lone carry, he plowed his way for 14 yards.
