James Madison - named after the Founding Father and 4th president - makes the jump from FCS this year as a byproduct of conference musical chairs last year - which gives us a glimpse into the makeup of what one of the better performing teams in Division II - and the answer is looking like 5 the first year. Pretty pedestrian starting lineup compared to a couple of the other recent moveups (notably Coastal Carolina) and probably one to avoid unless you are an O Line diehard. The Dukes are one of those teams that mostly consists black starters and 2nd stringers but have a pretty decent crop of whites littered further down the depth charts when scrolling through their full roster .
