Julio Douthit, WR - UCLA

As expected when playing for a large school, there is a lot of talent at the WR position, including Tracy Givens, one of the highest rated receivers in the country. Julio plays a little bit here and there, but he needs a lot more development towards his major upside. He is scouted at 24/100 this season, and gets only 6 catches for 81 yards. UCLA goes 8-4 overall but a disappointing 4-4 in conference play and only manages a minor bowl bid.

Mike Bradford, QB - Michigan State

Mike is playing behind excellent junior QB Jimmie Keaton this season, though he does get a few starts when Keaton goes out injured. All told he is 56-106 for 694 yards and 1 touchdown on the year. There is brutal competition on the Spartan squad for even backup QB, but Mike gets the nod because of his high upside, he is scouted 31/86 this year. Michigan State goes 8-4 this year, ending with a rout by Auburn in their post-season bowl.

John Barber, OG - Penn State

When you have a player of Barber's caliber on your roster, you put him in and you put him in fast. He starts all year at guard, and plays like a senior, with 42 key run blocks in 101 opportunities and allowing only one sack all year. John is named Big 10 First Team Guard! Quite an amazing accomplishment for a first-year player. He is scouted 53/80 this year. Penn State goes 10-2 this year, second in the Big 10, and ends the season by beating Virginia Tech in the Cotton Bowl.

Terrell Washington, OLB - Utah

Terrell gets the starting nod at WLB for Utah this year, and plays quite well. He ends the year with 58 tackles, 19 assists, 5 sacks, and 10 TFL. His performance is good enough to be named Mountain West 2nd team OLB. Terrell is going to be facing some stiff competition for starting time as Utah has several developing players at OLB. This season he was scouted 44/52. Utah finishes 8-4 and on top of the Mountain West, and loses in a close one against Georgia in the Rose Bowl.

Jeff Hammond, OT - Northwestern

Northwestern is, as usual, a horrible mess on the football field, finishing 1-10 this year. If Jeff wasn't so set on his education he'd probably be playing for a much better team. As it is he starts every game for the Wildcats, recording 23 blocks in 87 chances. He's currently scouted at 37/75 and so has plenty of room to improve.

Clifton Freestone, DE - UCLA

Clifton can't crack the starting lineup, but both veteran DEs graduate after this year. In spot play, he records 12 tackles, 4 assists and 2 sacks. He is scouted 21/60 right now so it remains to be seen how he will develop. UCLA goes 8-4 overall but a disappointing 4-4 in conference play and only manages a minor bowl bid.

Cole Shields, SS - Tulsa

Cole does not redshirt, as Tulsa is short on safety talent this year. Despite being very raw (scouted 18/69) he gets the start as the team doesn't have anyone better. Cole wows everyone with his performance this year, racking up 50 tackles, 17 assists, a sack, and an impressive 8 interceptions, 2 run back for scores. He is named WAC Top Defensive Freshman! Tulsa has a good year this year, going 7-4 and finishing 4th in the WAC.
