2nd: Mississippi State FS Derek Pegues - 5'10" 190, 4.49 40
3-time, All-SEC free safety with 12 career INTs, is the all-time SEC leader in kick-off returns and kick-off return yardage, and is 2nd all-time in total return yardage, which can explain the type of speed he has
improves on the nickel FS
3rd: Cincinnati DE Connor Barwin - 6'4" 255, 4.64 40
1-year starter at DE after switching over from the offensive side of the ball, where he was a pretty good TE, won All-Big East, 1st team honors this year, finishing 2nd in the conference in tackles for loss (14.5), and 1st in sacks (11), even blocked 3 kicks this year, has a great motor and will do anything asked of him
athletic pass-rusher who could potentially play outside or inside in the 3-4
alternate: UConn DE Cody Brown
4th: Wisconsin OG Kraig Urbik - 6'6" 332, 5.29 40
mammouth RG who has also started games at RT, Wisconsin lineman are all generally technically sound but none have been quite as big as this guy, 2-time, All-Big 10 winner
could turn into a valuable swing player at OG and OT
4th: Central Florida CB Joe Burnett - 5'11" 185, 4.54 40
special teams phenom, 4-time, All-C USA punt returner, 3-time All-C USA cornerback, 4-year starter at CB, notching 16 career INTs
gives us great depth at CB and most importantly, might finally give us a great punt returner
5th: Clemson QB Cullen Harper - 6'4" 225
smart, tough, gritty QB from a football family, had a down year after setting 21 school records as a 1st-time, Junior starter last year, although in the 4 games immediately following Tommie Bowden's resignation, threw for 954 yards
might never be anything other than a solid, backup QB in the NFL, but has enough skill-set and the intangibles to be quite good in that role
5th: San Jose State DT Jarron Gilbert - 6'6" 280, 5.23 40
DE and DT at SJSU who could play the 5-technique, DE spot in the 3-4, his 22 tackles for loss led the FBS, and he chipped in with 9.5 sacks, this season's performance earned him the WAC, Defensive Player of the Year award
battles with Jason Hatcher and/or Bowen for their job as rotational pass-rusher
alternate: Georgia Tech DT Vance Walker
6th: Alcorn State OLB Lee Robinson - 6'3" 245, 4.68 40
All-SWAC performer at OLB, this year had 111 tackles, 10.5 for loss, and 3 INTs, his 3-year averages are 83 tackles, 11 for loss and 3.5 sacks
provides excellent depth at ILB, gets rid of Bobby Carpenter at least, and assumes his role on special teams
7th: Iowa DE Mitch King - 6'3" 280, 4.74 40
1st-team, All-Big 10 and Big 10 lineman of the year, provides all-out hustle for top-10 rushing D, 3-year average is 55 tackles, 14 for loss and 4.7 sacks
provides hustle and playmaking energy off the bench
7th: Ball State OT Robert Brewster - 6'5" 310, 5.10 40
1st-team, All-MAC OT for top-27 rushing and passing offense
battles Pat McQuistan for backup spot
