"We have a passionate fan base that is amazing. We have a good team and a really tough schedule, so that is a fantastic opportunity. We have a senior quarterback coming back that's one of the best in the country and an offense that has proven itself. We have really good leadership on the defensive side and a proven system with proven staff, so it could be a really fun year."– Broderick Fobbs
 
With a combined 51 student-athletes returning, the Grambling State football has a strong base on which to build. With Head Coach Broderick Fobbs entering his second season at the helm of the Grambling Tigers, the team is looking to be the top team in the Southwestern Athletic Conference's Western Division at the conclusion of the season. With Houston in their sights, a dynamic signing class and a host of transfers will join the returning players.
 
Grambling State finished 7-5 last season, which was a turnaround season for the Tigers. This year's signing class is the first class under Coach Fobb's tenure. With the Eddie Robinson trophy and a year of bragging rights on the line, the Grambling Tigers are looking to add another championship to the school history.
 
 
OFFENSE
Due to departure of our 20 graduating seniors, the 2015 team will be very young. Many of our 2015 recruits will have to play roles in the success of the team. Although young, "Coach Fobbs believes that the recruits will bring something to the table." A number of student-athletes that are returning from the 2014 season that brought the action include 24 seniors, 23 juniors, and 16 sophomores will give us a good balance to work with. Cutting down on penalties and turning the ball over will be stressed in camp along with "old school" fundamental football.
 
On offense we are happy to have 2 returning QBs, Johnathan Williams and Stephen Johnson both have good arms and the running ability to move the chains. At wide receiver we return a good group, (List player's names). The offensive line returns starters (List player's name) who saw a lot of action. At TE we return (List player's name). I believe the addition of our 2015 class we will have the capabilities to put points on the board and maintain ball control. I'm looking for a balanced attack but also have the capability to take advantage of our opponent's weakness in the air or on the ground.
 
DEFENSE
Defensively, we will return 7 players with starts. All three starters and two veterans with significant experience return in the defensive line, five veteran linebackers return, along with three starters in the secondary. We also have a good recruiting class to add to the depth of our defense and to challenge returners for several starting positions.   We will be talented and skillful. Playing together as an unselfish unit will make a difference in our style of play. At the defensive line, we return Jevonta Williams, Larry Stallings, Michael Jolivet, Donovan McCray, and Jamison Goins. At line backers we return Arkez Cooper, Henry Taylor, Derwin Butler and Troy Roach. At Defensive back we return Nick Peoples, Dwight Amphy, Mike Roach, Jameel Jackson, Tyler Olivier, and Jordan Stargell, along with talented transfers Guy Stallworth, Deon Bonner and Abu Conteh. This group of guys can run and I believe our new additions will allow us to be creative and aggressive on defense. Kicking duties will be handled by Marc Orozco and long snapper (List player name). Our motto this season is "What's Important Now (WIN)". Everything we do will be for a purpose.
