Risers
Duke Johnson/RB/Miami-Fl: Prior to his fourth quarter injury Johnson was a one-man show for the Hurricanes, steamrolling Virginia Tech for 249 yards rushing and one score. He also led the team with 37 receiving yards on 2 receptions. The elusive ball carrier combines quickness, instincts and a burst of speed to beat defenders every time the ball’s in his hands. Johnson’s a three down back, well schooled in all areas of the position, and will land in the second round if he declares for the 2015 draft, which he’s expected to do.
Jeremy Langford/RB/Michigan State: Langford grades out as one of the better running backs from the senior class heading towards next April’s draft. He proved as much against in-state rival Michigan as Langford carried the ball 35 times for 177 yards, pushing the ball into the end zone for 3 scores. For the year Langford is averaging 5.3-yards on 125 carries. Though 205-pounds Langford plays big, breaking tackles and displaying himself as a potent short yardage runner. He also has the speed necessary to beat defenders into the open field and holds his own as a pass catcher out of the backfield. Though Langford won’t be rated as highly as many of the talented underclassmen expected to enter the draft, he has all the tools necessary to produce at the next level.
A J Cann/G/South Carolina: Cann was dominant in every area during the Gamecocks final quarter loss to Auburn. The team rolled up 535-yards of combined offense as Cann opened massive holes for the running game while easily handling opponents to protect his quarterback. He’s a thick and powerful blocker that has no problem holding the point of attack. Better in a small area, scouts love Cann, who should be off the board by the time the third round ends next April.
Rob Havenstein/T/Wisconsin: Melvin Gordon’s record breaking performances garner the headlines but its’ always started up front at Wisconsin and right tackle Havenstein is in the midst of a terrific campaign. He’s a massive blocker (6-feet/8-inches and 335lbs) who dominates the run game while also showing skill in pass protection. Havenstein is one of those offensive line prospects who slips into the late rounds of the draft then finds a starting spot in the NFL.
Terrell Hartsfield/DE-OLB/Cincinnati: Hartsfield could well be listed as a sleeper but scouts have been talking about him for a while now. The junior college transfer made few scouting lists entering the season after 23 tackles and 1.5 sacks a year ago. Seven games into the 2014 campaign he’s already registered 6 sacks with 7 tackles for loss. An athletic prospect with natural pass rushing skills, Hartsfield could well sneak into the late rounds if he performs well in pre-draft workouts.
Chris Hackett/S/TCU: Believe it or not, TCU’s blowout victory over Texas Tech (82-27) was close in the early going until Hackett intercepted a pass which the Horned Frogs converted into a score. Scouts have been raving about Hackett all year and with good reason. He’s a complete safety that plays smart, disciplined football.
