They have chosen Joe O'Connor, the midfielder who was so crucial in getting their club to the Munster final this season.
O'Connor didn't feature as prominently under Peter Keane in recent years, but with Kerry struggling to find a midfielder at the moment, and his captaincy in place, you would imagine that the Stacks man will feature heavily this year.
