3 Players that will be household names in 2012

  • Notre Dame

    Ishaq Williams- Soph. Similar to Hubbard. Plays OLB in our 3-4 and is 6'5"

    Stephon Tuitt- Soph. 6'6" 290lb DE in our 3-4.

    Everett Golson- RFr. 5'11" QB think Charlie Ward. Pass first QB that can run.

  • MSU didn't really have any household names aside from maybe Worthy and Cousins/Cunningham and maybe Bell last year.

    DE - William Gholston: Punches and chiropractic endeavors aside, Gholston is a beast. Physical freak at 6'7 285 and will definitely be the focal point of our DL this year with Worthy gone. Had a huge 5-tackle 2 sack performance against UGA in the bowl game where he literally looked unblockable at times. He could easily cement himself as a top 10 pick with a good season, because the athleticism the NFL loves is definitely there.

    SS - Isaiah Lewis: Fast, big hitter, plays with a ton of heart. He will get some room to make plays with two other experienced starters in Johnny Adams and Darqueze Dennard manning the CB spots. Lewis is an absolute beast, he just needs to cut down a bit on mental errors (first year starting last year) and he could easily be one of the best safeties in the country.

    TE - Dion Sims: He will be Andrew Maxwell's safety valve with our green WR corps. Needs to stay uninjured but he is a huge target at 6'5 270 with big hands. He runs a lot faster than most people his size and is a massive red zone target. He will be thrown to early and often.

  • Penn State.

    Silas Redd, JR RB. He's a stud, and with a much improved OL he is going to be our only offensive threat.

    Gerald Hodges, SR LB. Great athlete, and with a much more Aggressive defense he should get a few more chances for highlight reel plays.

    Matt McGloin, QB. The most gingerest ginger alive. With O'Briens new offense, he'll be throwing the ball more often then with our last offensive system. For better or worse.

    For Michigan

    Jake Ryan LB, hits anything that moves, hard and always seems to be in the right place at the right time when the game is on the line.

    Fitzgerald Toussaint RB, not sure if he is a household name already, but regardless the kid is a true RB that has good speed, great vision, and has nice wiggle. Should be in line for a 1,500 yards rushing campaign if he stay healthy.

    Jibreel Black DT, athletic beast that just got moved to the inside. He has a great first step and has a knack for getting in the backfield. Should be a problem for other teams this year.

    I thought Black signed with Indiana...did he decommit, transfer, or this is a different kid

    I think I would consider Redd a household. Most people know about him, at least Bama fans do haha

    RB Le'Veon Bell

    DE: Gholston

    SAM LB: Denicos Allen. Just because he can fly.

    Michigan State does not and will not run the 3-4 defense.

  • i like the williams and hubbard picks.

    i'd also go lacy. i don't think he's as good as either ingram or trent, but with the oline we should have, he might put up similar #'s. also, if aj and the wr's can keep it open it will only help him.

    don't know if anyone considers him a household name yet though.

  • by household, i'm considering that to be national

    therefore, i'm only putting one

    Johnthan Banks (and yes it Johnthan)

    hes considered a top 3 NFL draft prospect at CB and yet very few people know of him because he is at state.

    state should have a pretty good season this year (8+ wins hopefully) and he will get some great exposure

    Yea I agree, Silas should be known by most college football fans, but he should take that next step this year and truly be an a elite back.

    For PSU I'll go with

    LB Gerald Hodges-flat out stud, one of the best LBs in college football

    DT: Jordan Hill-played great last year, but was overshadowed by Devon Still

    CB: Adrian Amos-showed flashes of greatness as a true freshman, should be our best player in the secondary. It might take another year for him to fully break out, but he is a real good player with great potential.

    He's really a tremendous running back, who's stuck on a pedestrian to sub par offense. Leaning toward sub par.

    If he has any help he's capable of putting up some really impressive numbers, and possibly even winning the Walker award.

  • For Auburn I think it would have to be... I think Lutz, Blake, and Lemonier people already know of so I'm not going to pick them. If you they fit this category IYO then just replace mine with those three...

    If we've already had a thread on this feel free to lock/delete this thread mods. By household I mean a relative unknown to fans outside of your school.

    Bama:

    Christion Jones- True Soph. WR. Was sent in to return kicks and punts against LSU after Maze went down in January, had several good returns and had a very good spring and spring game by all accounts, from everyone in the program he's set to be a great WR before he leaves Alabama.

    Jesse Williams- SR DL. 6'4 320 and Austrailian. Played DE for us last season but has slid inside this spring. Ran at Pro Day earlier this year and our mods reported a 4.87 and 4.75 in the 40. Still very much learning the game, but should make great strides from year 1-2 and will be one of the top DL drafted next year IMO.

    Adrian Hubbard- Sophomore OLB 6'6 240ish and can move very well. Another player who was reported to have a great spring. I think has a good chance to lead Alabama in sacks this season.

    Players for your team? Could be fun to bump at the end of the season

    all three are good choices but imo Deion Belue makes the list by early September.

    look for Ed Stinson's name to blowup by 2013 .
