*
Connell - Started as a Redshirt Freshman, but backup for the rest of his career because he couldn't develop. Huge disappointment.
*
Greene - 4 year starter who twice hit 1000 yards receiving and had an amazing senior season where he had 4 catches, 1451 yards, and 16 TD. Was 1st Team All-American as a senior.
*
Pierce - Started 3 games as a Freshman, didn't produce, and failed to develop enough to compete for a starting job afterwards.
*
Hanks - 4 year starter and solid performer throughout his career. Compiled 17 INT's and was All-Conference 1st Team his last two years.
*
Manning - Started as a true Freshman and never missed a game. A reliable presence in the middle, he finished with 93 tackles, 45 assists, 23 TFL's, and 6 sacks in his career.
*
Harding - Had a couple of decent seasons in backup duty, but never cracked the starting lineup. Caught 71 passes for 936 yards and 9 TD in his career.
*
Garrison - Was recruited mainly for depth, so not surprising that he never started a game in 4 years.
*
Brutley - Had big shoes to fill in replacing Will Newton and he managed to do just that. A terrific run stopper, he had 322 tackles in his career, was 1st Team All-American as a Senior, and twice named 1st Team All-Conference.
*
Brill - Three year starter. Decent, but not great player. Had 10.5 sacks as a Senior.
*
Kemp - Was caught between RB's who were better before (Bob Phillips, Dana Luther) and after (Alex Young) he came to Idaho. Never started a game. Finished with 446 yards rushing and 3 TD.
*
Degley - Never cracked the full time starting lineup, but played as the DE on passing downs for his last two seasons and managed 14.5 sacks in that span.
*
Isaacson - Three year starter who was never spectacular, but pretty solid for the most part. Finished with 153 tackles, 50 assists, and 9 INT's.
*Soper - Didn't crack the starting lineup until he was a Senior and was a weak link, only tallying 31 tackles and 1 sack.
*
McKenzie - Never cracked the starting lineup in 4 years.
*
Romine - Recruited for depth and thus rode the bench for 4 years.
*
Woodard - Academic recruit.
*Also of note is
TE Leon McGregor, who was part of the 2008 recruiting class and played as a true Freshman. He was a 4 year starter who had 70 catches, 846 yards, and 7 TD in his career.
