TYSON ALUALU
Defensive Tackle/End
University of California at Berkeley Golden Bears
#44
6:02.3-295
Honolulu, Hawaii
Saint Louis High School
OVERVIEW
The unquestioned leader of the Golden Bears defense, Alualu’s ability to play any position on the defensive front is one of
his strengths. A physical defensive end in Cal’s 3-4 alignment, most scouts feel that his best professional position will be
at the “under” tackle spot, likening his style of play to that of the Arizona Cardinals’ Darnell Dockett – a run-stuffing “three
technique” tackle with the ability to generate a fierce pass rush coming off the edge at end in third-down situations.
Alualu has started 39-of-51 games during his career, including his last 38 contests. Since becoming a full-time starter, the
Bears defensive stalwart has been dominant in run situations. On 171 plays during which he produced tackles over the
past three years, he held opponents to 199 yards, an average of a 1.16 yards per carry. Only 10 of those runs resulted in
first downs and just two of those carries gained 10 or more yards. He made 26 third-down tackles and three more on
fourth-down snaps vs. the ground attack, as he delivered 34 total stops (assists/solos) for loss and brought down ball
carriers at the line of scrimmage for no gain 25 times since the beginning of the 2007 campaign.
Alualu has also proven to be an effective pass defender. He has one interception and six pass deflections, along with 11
quarterback pressures since his sophomore season. Only eight-of-32 passes thrown into his area (25.0 percent) were
caught by the opposition, good for 70 yards, an average of 8.75 yards per reception and 2.19 yards per pass attempt. He
delivered 13 third-down hits and one more stop on fourth-down vs. the aerial game, as just one of those pass completions
gained more than ten yards.
Whether starting at strong-side defensive tackle, right defensive end or left end, Alualu has shown the ability to get to the
quarterback and create havoc in the backfield. In addition to his 11 pressures, he has registered 16.0 sacks, 24.5 stops
behind the line of scrimmage, caused four fumbles and recovered four others, returning one of those recoveries for a
score. He also excels on special teams, blocking one field goal for the Golden Bears.
Alualu was regarded as one of the nation’s top defensive line prospects during his career at prep powerhouse Saint Louis
High School in Hawaii. He was a two-time All-State choice by the Honolulu Star Bulletin and was rated the second-best
overall prospect in the state by Rivals.com in 2005, as that recruiting service also ranked him as the 24th-best down
lineman in the nation. The Interscholastic Hawaiian League Defensive Player of the Year was also named to Prep Star’s
All-Far West Region squad.
As a senior, he led the league with 7.0 quarterback sacks while finishing second on the squad with 59 tackles (39 solos).
His best performance came in the Punahou High clash, as Alualu delivered four sacks to go with nine tackles. Twice that
season, he registered 14-tackle performances.
Recruited by California, Alualu signed a letter of intent in 2005, but deferred his enrollment until the spring of 2006. He
became the fourth member of his family to play college football, joining uncle, Tupu Alualu (Hawaii), and cousins Ben
Alualu (Arizona) and Tyrone Alualu (Laney College). He began his Bears career as a reserve defensive tackle (wore
jersey no. 90), lining up behind Brandon Mebane at the strong-side position. He earned his only start for that campaign vs.
Oregon State, as he finished his freshman year with 16 tackles (4 solos).
Alualu switched positions, taking over right defensive end duties, as he also switched jersey numbers (to no. 44) as a
sophomore. He was the recipient of the Brick Muller Award, given to the team’s Most Valuable Defensive Lineman in
2007. He collected 52 tackles (23 solos) with 2.5 sacks, 3.5 stops for loss and four pressures. His heads-up performance
saw him recover four fumbles, advancing one for a touchdown, as he also intercepted a pass, deflected another and
blocked a field goal.
Alualu was again the recipient of the Brick Muller Award as a junior. He delivered 62 tackles (21 solos) in 2008, as he
finished second on the team with six sacks and eleven stops behind the line of scrimmage. He generated eight pressures,
caused two fumbles and broke up a pair of passes from the right defensive end position.
As a senior, Alualu was named to the All-Pac 10 Conference first-team, spending his final campaign at left defensive end.
He ranked third on the squad with 60 tackles (27) while also leading the Bears and ranking sixth in the league with a
career-high 7.5 sacks. He also paced the defense with ten stops for loss, adding four pressures, three deflected passes
and a pair of forced fumbles.

GENO ATKINS
University of Georgia Bulldogs
#56
6:01.3-293
Pembroke Pines, Florida
St. Thomas Aquinas High School
OVERVIEW
The powerful and versatile lineman was part of the Bulldogs’ defensive tackle rotation that featured Atkins, Jeff Owens
and Kade Weston. Alternating the trio assured Georgia of having a “fresh” body on the field, but in goalline situations,
Atkins shifted outside to defensive end, so UGA would feature its strongest linemen. Because of that rotation, Atkins
started 23 times during his career, having his string of 21 consecutive starts snapped vs. Arizona State in 2009. In 11 of
his Bulldogs starting assignments, Atkins was part of a unit that held the opposition to under 100 yards. In his final three
seasons, Georgia allowed an average of just 109.92 yards rushing per game in 2007; 122.31 yards in 2008; and 126.15
yards in 2009.
th
Atkins was a standout defensive end at St. Thomas Aquinas High School, being ranked 24 in the nation at that position
by Rivals.com and 36th overall on that recruiting service’s Florida Top 100 list. The Class 5-A All-State selection was
named Florida 5-A Defensive Player of the Year as a senior. He was also named first-team All-County by the Sun-
Sentinel and the Miami Herald. He was part of the Class AAAAA state runner-up team in 2004 and 2005, which finished
the 2005 season ranked tenth in the nation by USA Today.
Atkins led his team with 49 tackles, including 18.5 for a loss, 68 assists, 7.5 sacks, four forced fumbles, nine QB
pressures and two recovered fumbles as a senior. He registered 50 solo tackles, 20 assists, 12 stops for loss, one INT
and four recovered fumbles playing mostly linebacker as a junior. He also threw the shot put for the track team.
Atkins enrolled early at Georgia in 2006, in time to participate in spring drills. He was listed third on the depth chart at right
defensive tackle, coming up with nine tackles and an assisted sack in eleven contests as a true freshman. He would earn
team Newcomer of the Year honors.
As a sophomore, Atkins started seven of 13 games at right tackle. He led the team with 15 stops behind the line of
scrimmage, as his 7.5 sacks ranked second on the squad. He posted 41 tackles (30 solos) as the team ranked 14th in the
nation in total defense (323.23 ypg). Named the team’s Most Improved Defensive Tackle, he also garnered first-team All-
Southeastern Conference accolades.
In 2008, Atkins filled the leadership void created when Jeff Owens went down in the season opener with an injury. He
responded with 34 tackles, four pressures and 7.5 tackles for loss. Georgia would allow opponents to average 312.0
yards per game in total defense. He received Academic All-SEC first-team and All-SEC third-team honors.
After starting the first three games of the 2009 season, Atkins contributed as a reserve at both tackle positions while also
seeing time at right defensive end. He totaled 36 tackles (22 solos) with 3.0 sacks in his final campaign. He registered
10.5 stops for loss, causing and recovering a fumble. Atkins was named All-SEC second team.

KEVIN BASPED
Defensive End
University of Nevada, Reno Wolf Pack
#99
6:05.6-240
Sacramento, California
Florin High School
OVERVIEW
An impressive athlete who is still developing physically, Basped could be a nice fit as an outside linebacker in a 3-4
defensive alignment thanks to his quickness and ability to easily close the edge as a blitzer or slip back fluidly in pass
coverage.
The arrival of head coach Nigel Burton to run Nevada’s defense in 2008 transformed Basped, who has cat-like quickness,
into a force coming off the edge. Teaming with defensive end Dontay Moch, the duo immediately began to wreak havoc
on the way to becoming a dominant pass rushing tandem in the Western Athletic Conference.
At Florin High School, Basped was a two-way standout at defensive end and tight end. As a senior, he finished second in
the Sacramento-San Joaquin section with 18.0 sacks. He recorded 101 total tackles (57 solo), forcing four fumbles and
recovering three others. He added 15 receptions for 259 yards (17.27 avg.) on offense.
The underrated high school player was given a two-star rating from Rivals.com and Scout.com. He chose to attend
Nevada over offers from Arizona State, Boise State, and Idaho. He would spend the 2006 season red-shirting, as he
shuttled between defensive end and linebacker while competing on the scout team.
In 2007, Basped saw action in 13 games including five starts. He recorded 50 tackles (22 solo) with two forced fumbles
and one fumble recovery. He tied for second on the team and sixth in the Western Athletic Conference with 11.5 tackles
for loss, and his four sacks for a loss of 26 yards also ranked second on the team.
Coach Nigel Burton took over as Nevada's defensive coordinator and instituted a 4–3 scheme. The new system relied on
the speed of Basped and fellow defensive lineman Moch to penetrate from the edge. The sophomore saw action in all
thirteen games, emerging as a pass rushing force while earning first-team All-WAC honors. He racked up 50 tackles (35
solos) with three forced fumbles and three pass deflections.
Basped registered 18.5 stops behind the line of scrimmage for combined losses of 82 yards and ranked 17th nationally
with 1.42 tackles for loss per game. He also tied for 21st nationally with 0.77 sacks per game, as he ranked second on the
team with 10.0 sacks for losses of 63 yards. His tackle for loss total set a school record, breaking the previous mark of
17.5 set by Ezra Butler in 2006, and his sack total also ranked fifth on the Wolf Pack’s all-time record list.
Basped returned with high expectations as a junior after being named to the preseason watch lists for the Bronko
Nagurski Trophy, given to the nation’s top defensive player, and the Lombardi Award, given to the nation’s top lineman.
He did not disappoint, as starting 10 of the 12 games he played in.
The right defensive end registered 32 tackles (13 solos) with 9.5 sacks and 12.5 tackles for loss. He ranked first in the
WAC and tied for 21st nationally with 0.79 sacks per game, an improvement from his previous season. His sack total also
tied J.J. Milan (2006) for fifth on the school’s single-season record list. His average of 1.04 tackles for loss per game
ranked third in the conference.

DANNY BATTEN
Defensive End/Outside Linebacker
South Dakota State University Jackrabbits
#54
6:02.7-254
Gilbert, Arizona
Mesquite High School
OVERVIEW
The talented senior recently concluded his fourth season as a starter, starting 45 of the 46 games in his productive career.
A relentless pass rusher, he registered 23.0 quarterback sacks, 55.0 stops behind the line of scrimmage and 46 QB
pressures for South Dakota State. Eleven of his pressures caused interceptions, while two others produced fumbles and
two resulted in safeties. He came up with 21 turnovers on the field, as the Jackrabbits converted 13 of them into scores.
But, there is much more to Batten’s game that just getting to the quarterback. Few defensive linemen can match his pass
coverage ability. With his superb quickness and change of direction agility, he prevented receivers from getting to 117-of-
142 passes targeted into his area (17.61 pass completion percentage). The opposition managed just 167 yards on the 25
receptions made vs. the weak-side defensive end, an average of 6.68 yards per pass completion and 1.18 yards per pass
attempt (latter figure is the lowest for any active FCS player).
The well-rounded Batten was also a dominant force vs. the run. He registered 255 plays vs. the ground game, holding the
opposing ball carriers to only 217 yards, an average of 0.85 yards per rushing attempt. He produced 69 total tackles for
loss (solos/assists) while stopping runners at the line of scrimmage for no gain 47 times. Just 23 of those 255 running
plays he was involved in resulted in first downs for the opposition (8.90 percent).
Batten delivered 51 third-down stops and one more on fourth-down in passing situations. Against the ground attack, he
collected 33 third-down tackles, adding eight more on fourth-down activity, as he kept the opposition out of the end zone
on a total 90 possessions by making the final play from scrimmage on those drives.
At Mesquite High School, Batten excelled on the football field as a defensive end and tight end. He earned All-Conference
and All-Fiesta League Class 5A first-team accolades, in addition to receiving All-State honorable mention. As a senior, he
recorded 144 tackles with 7.0 sacks. On offense, he scored four times on nine receptions for 222 yards, as he led the
league with a receiving average of 24.67 yards. He also carried five times for 57 yards (11.4 avg) and registered 55
knockdown blocks.
Batten enrolled at South Dakota State in 2005. He entered fall camp listed third on the depth chart at weak-side defensive
end. By the time the season opener rolled around, Batten was in the starting lineup for 10 of 11 games that year.
He was a member of The Gridiron Report’s Division 1-AA Freshman All-American third-team and their Freshman All-
Great West Football Conference first-team squads. Batten ranked eighth on the team with 46 tackles (15 solos), as he
finished third on the unit with nine stops for loss that included 1.5 sacks. He added four pressures and also recovered a
fumble. Opponents averaged 154.6 yards per game rushing vs. the Jackrabbits, but vs. Batten, the defensive end allowed
just 55 yards on 46 carries (1.2 ypc) into his area.
Batten was an All-American honorable mention and All-Great West Football Conference first-team pick, as he totaled 67
tackles (25 solos) with 4.5 sacks, finishing second on the squad with 12 stops behind the line of scrimmage to go with six
pressures. He recovered two fumbles, caused another and broke up two passes.
The Jackrabbits gave up 176.2 yards per game on the ground that year, but against Batten, the opposition registered 54
yards on 65 carries (0.83 ypc). The defensive end made eight third-down stops and three more on fourth-down vs. the run
and against the pass, teams would complete only 19.35 percent of the passes thrown into his area (6-of-31) for 37 yards.
As a junior, Batten was a second-team All-American choice by The NFL Draft Report, receiving national honorable
mention from College Sporting News. He recorded a career-high 75 tackles (36 solos), the fourth-best total on the team,
as the Doug Miller Award recipient (team’s defensive MVP) was also a first-team All-Missouri Valley Conference selection.
He led the squad with eight sacks and ranked second in the conference with 16.0 stops for loss, adding 11 pressures, two
forced fumbles and an interception.
Against the run, Batten made 71 plays, as the opposition totaled 79 yards (1.11 ypc) on the ground. In pass coverage, he
allowed just seven of 43 passes into his area to be completed (16.28 percent) for 64 yards, an average of 1.19 yards per
pass attempt, the lowest total of any defensive player in the FCS ranks for 2008.
Batten continued his stellar performances into the 2009 season. The Buck Buchanan Award finalist (given to the nation’s
top defensive player in the FCS ranks), All-American and Missouri Valley Football Conference co-Defensive Player of the
Year finished his final campaign with a career-high 86 tackles (39 solos), leading the league while ranking eighth in the
nation with 18.0 stops for losses of 91 yards. His nine sacks ranked second in the MVFC, as he led all Football
Championship Subdivision defenders with 25 quarterback pressures while starting all twelve games.

ALEX CARRINGTON
Defensive End/Tackle
Arkansas State University Red Wolves
#98
6:05.2-285
Tupelo, Mississippi
Tupelo High School
OVERVIEW
Carrington, a four-year starter, has made an impact chasing down quarterbacks and ball carriers since stepping into the
lineup as a freshman. He closed out his career as the Sun Belt Conference’s fourth all-time leader in sacks (21.5), which
also ranks second in school annals. He placed sixth on the Sun Belt’s season-record chart with 10.5 sacks in 2008
(fourth-best in ASU history), leading to him being named the conference’s Defensive Player of the Year that campaign.
The pass rush specialist closed out his career in fine fashion. He tied the school and conference game records with 4.0
sacks, five tackles behind the line of scrimmage and a forced fumble that he recovered and returned 27 yards for a
touchdown vs. Western Kentucky in the 2009 season finale.
His stellar performances during his last two seasons with the Red Wolves earned him an invitation to the prestigious
Senior Bowl. The defensive end became just the sixth player in school history to compete in that all-star game and the
first one since quarterback Gene Bradley suited up for the 1980 contest.
Carrington was a standout down lineman at Tupelo High School. He led his team to the quarterfinals of the state playoffs
as a senior, recording 84 tackles, six sacks and three forced fumbles. The All-Region selection and recipient of the
Coach’s Award added team MVP and Daily Journal All-State first-team honors in 2004.
Carrington enrolled at Arkansas State in 2005, desiring to remain close to home and his infant son. He turned down
scholarship offers from several major colleges, including Louisiana State, Louisiana Tech and Mississippi to join the ASU
program. He would spend the 2005 season performing on the scout team as a red-shirt.
In 2006, Carrington started six of eight games before a leg injury sidelined him late in the season. Lining up at right
defensive end, he produced 14 tackles (9 solos) with a sack and two stops for losses. He also caused a fumble.
Carrington shifted to left defensive end, earning All-Sun Belt Conference honorable mention in 2007. He was in on 38
tackles (20 solos), coming up with one sack among his five stops behind the line of scrimmage. He also broke up two
passes.
As a junior, Carrington was named All-American second-team, All-Sun Belt Conference first-team and league Defensive
Player of the Year. In addition to his left end duties, he was also the in-line blocker on field goals and extra points. He
totaled 52 tackles (36 solos), a career-best. Carrington placed fourth on the Red Wolves’ season-record chart with 10.5
sacks, which ranked 14th in the nation. His 19 stops for loss led the team and Sun Belt Conference, ranking seventh in
the nation. He also blocked a kick, picked off a pass, deflected two others and caused one fumble.
As a senior, Carrington was again chosen to the All-SBC first-team. In addition to his excellent performance in the season
finale vs. Western Kentucky, he was credited with 41 tackles (28 solos), as he caused a fumble and blocked an extra
point attempt. Carrington’s nine sacks tied for the conference title and placed 25th nationally. He also had 14.5 tackles
behind the line of scrimmage, ranking 31st in the nation in that category with an average of 1.21 per game.

TERRENCE CODY
Nose Guard/Defensive Tackle
University of Alabama Crimson Tide
#62
6:03.5-354
Fort Myers, Florida
Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College
Riverdale High School
OVERVIEW
With the re-emergence of the 3-4 defense in the NFL, Cody’s combination of size and skills should make him a valuable
contributor. The run stuffer has been favorably compared to some of the league’s greats that occupied that position in
recent years.
Despite his massive frame, Cody has shown the nimble feet and change of direction skills to chase down ball carriers on
the edge. But it is his dominance in the middle of the line, his ability to occupy multiple blockers that has seen the Crimson
Tide’s defense rank with the nation’s elite since the former Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College product joined the
Alabama program in 2008.
Prior to his arrival in a Crimson Tide uniform, the Alabama senior graduating class (year of 2007) had allowed an average
of 127.32 yards rushing, 287.36 yards in total defense and 17.06 points scored per game vs. their defensive unit (2004-
07). With Cody manning the nose guard position, the opposition has averaged just 73.25 yards on the ground, 243.96
total yards and 12.25 points per game.
With the junior college prospect taking on multiple blockers, the Tide have finished second in rush defense during both of
his seasons (allowed 77.92 yards per game in 2009 and 74.14 yards in 2008). The opposition gained just 241.69 yards of
total offense per game (second lowest total in the nation) in 2009 and 263.5 yards in 2008 (tied for third in the nation).
A recent study by ESPN found that Cody was double and triple-teamed on 63.6 percent of his plays since joining the
Crimson Tide. Those are impressive numbers for a player with a brief collegiate football career.
Cody only lettered in football as a freshman and senior at Riverdale High School. He received scholarship offers from
Miami and South Florida, but enrolled at Mississippi Gulf Coast College to improve academically.
At Riverdale, Cody started at defensive tackle, but was also an imposing figure as a tight end. Weighing close to 280
pounds and standing 6-2, he earned the nickname “Big Tee” while playing for head coach Scott Jones as a freshman.
By the time he returned to the prep gridiron as a senior, he had grown to 365 pounds. Cody displayed extraordinary
athleticism. In 2005, he recorded 74 tackles (45 solos), caused two fumbles, recovered another and blocked a field goal.
On offense, the Class 3A All-District XIII choice scored twice on nine carries and also had a six-yard touchdown grab.
Cody also lettered in basketball for the Riverdale High Raiders. As a senior on the 2005-06 Riverdale squad, he averaged
9.7 points per game, connecting on 57 field goals for the District XIII squad that finished 7-17 for coach Herb Brown.
Cody enrolled at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College in 2006. He started as a freshman and sophomore at nose
guard, recording 48 tackles with 2.5 sacks and an interception in his first college season. In 2007, he added 31 tackles
and 3.5 sacks while anchoring a Bulldog defense that ranked led the state in rushing defense and total defense.
Mississippi Gulf Coast finished the season with a 12–0 season record and a NJCAA Co-National Championship.
The Alabama Crimson Tide coaching staff were amazed by the athletic ability of a player his teammates would soon
nickname “Mount” Cody.
During his first scrimmage in 2008 preseason camp, Cody took a large step in establishing his dominance in the trenches
when he keyed a four-play, goalline stand from the 1-yard line. "He's going to be good for us," Caldwell said right after that
practice. That prediction led to the junior to record 24 tackles (7 solos) with an assisted sack, 4.5 stops for loss, two
fumble recoveries and a forced fumble while starting twelve times as a junior. He was also used as a blocking fullback on
several occasions.
Cody received consensus first-team All-American honors, garnering accolades from the Associated Press, the American
Football Coaches Association, the Football Writers Association of America and The Sporting News. The Chuck Bednarik
Award semifinalist (nation’s best defensive player) was also a first-team All-Southeastern Conference pick by the
Associated Press, The Sporting News and the league’s coaches.
Cody was again a consensus All-American and unanimous All-Southeastern Conference first-team selection as a senior.
He was named a finalist for the Chuck Bednarik and Bronko Nagurski Awards in 2009. He started all 14 games for the
Tide, producing 28 tackles (12 solos) with six stops behind the line of scrimmage and three QB pressures. He also
blocked a pair of field goals, including one as time expired, to preserve a 12-10 win over Tennessee, earning AT&T Player
of the Week honors for that performance.
As for his stellar performance on the field, Georgia head coach Mark Richt stated, “I haven't seen anybody who's a match
for this guy (Cody) one-on-one. Nobody playing on Saturdays, or Sundays probably can contain him.” The nose guard
would close out his career by never allowing an opposing ball carrier to rush for 100 yards in a contest vs. the Tide,
spanning 26 games.
CAREER NOTES
Cody started all 26 games he played in for Alabama, as the team ranked second in the nation in rush defense (allowed
77.92 yards per game in 2009 and 74.14 yards in 2008) with him manning the nose guard position…Because he saw
constant double- and triple-team coverage, he was limited to just 52 tackles (19 solos) with 0.5 sack for minus 5 yards,
10.5 stops for losses totaling 25 yards and five quarterback pressures for the Tide, but the longest running play vs. Cody
was a 6-yard gain in the 2009 Kentucky clash…Added two fumble recoveries, a forced fumble, a pass deflection and two
blocked field goals…Made 50 plays vs. the ground game, holding opposing ball carriers to 48 yards (0.96 ypc), as those
runners managed just five first down carries, with Cody tackling them eleven times for loss (solos/assists) and six times at
the line of scrimmage for no gain…On nine passes thrown into his area, the opposition completed just three of those
attempts for minus 4 yards, twice taking down receivers for losses on those three completions.
2009 SEASON
Consensus All-American and unanimous All-SEC first-team choice, as he was also named a finalist for both the Chuck
Bednarik Award and Bronko Nagurski Trophy, given to the nation’s premier defensive player…Started all 14 games at
nose guard, leading a unit that ranked second in the nation while leading the conference in total defense (244.14 ypg),
rush defense (78.14 ypg), scoring defense (11.71 ppg) and pass efficiency defense (87.67 rating)…The Tide finished 20th
nationally in tackles for loss (7.00 pg) and 40th in sacks (2.29 spg), but Cody’s ability to dominate vs. double and triple-
team coverage allowed the rest of the defensive unit to take advantage of personnel mismatches. The Tide were able to
be multiple in formations without changing personnel, and did a very good job of disguising coverages and matching
opposing offenses shift for shift before the snap of the ball, thanks to their nose guard’s ability of occupying multiple
blockers in the trenches…Finished with 28 tackles (12 solos) with six stops for losses totaling 11 yards and three
quarterback pressures…Also deflected a pass, in addition to blocking a pair of field goals in the Tennessee clash…On
five passes targeted into his area, the opposition completed just one of those tosses for a 3-yard loss…Made 27 of his hits
vs. the ground game, holding opposing ball carriers to 34 yards (1.26 ypc), as he allowed just two first down carries while
producing two third-down hits, seven total stops for loss (solos and assists) and took down runners at the line of
scrimmage for no gain three times…Had four of his rush stops inside the red zone, including one on a goalline play…The
longest gain by a runner vs. Cody was a six-yarder in the Kentucky contest.
2008 SEASON
In his first season with the Crimson Tide, Cody was a consensus All-American and unanimous All-Southeastern
Conference first-team selection…The Chuck Bednarik Award semifinalist played a major part in the team finishing second
in the nation in rush defense (74.14 ypg), tied for third in total defense (263.5 ypg) and seventh in scoring defense (14.29
ppg)…The nose guard started 12 games, as he led a front wall that did not allow an opponent to gain over 100 yards
rushing in nine of those contests…Recorded 24 tackles (7 solos) with an assisted sack for minus 5 yards, 4.5 stops for
losses of 14 yards and two pressures…Also caused a fumble and recovered two others…Selected SEC Player of the
Week vs. Clemson…On 23 tackles vs. the ground game, he limited opposing ball carriers to 17 yards (0.74 ypc), as he
stopped runners three times at the line of scrimmage for no gain and five times for loss (solos and assists)…Also just
three first downs vs. the running game, as he produced three third-down hits and another on fourth down…On four
passes targeted into his area, the opposition completed two for a 1-yard loss.
JUNIOR COLLEGE
Cody played two seasons at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College (2006-07)…During his junior college career, he
recorded 79 tackles with six sacks and an interception…Also saw some time on offense as a blocking fullback…As a
freshman he recorded 48 tackles with 2.5 sacks and an interception…In his sophomore year, he earned NJCAA All-
American first-team honors, as he posted 31 tackles and 3.5 sacks while anchoring a Bulldog defense that led the state in
rushing defense and total defense…His squad finished that season with an 12–0 season record and a NJCAA Co-
National Championship…Cody received a three-star prospect rating by Rivals.com and was listed as the 47th-best overall
junior college player in the country by that recruiting service…He was rated 45th nationally by Super Prep in 2007.

JERMAINE CUNNINGHAM
University of Florida Gators
#49
6:03.3-266
Stone Mountain, Georgia
Stephenson High School
OVERVIEW
The consummate team player, Cunningham’s consistency and calming leadership presence played a major role in the
defensive squad’s vast improvement in recent years. The three-year starter joined Carlos Dunlap in forming one of the
best pass rushing tandems in the Southeastern Conference. It was fitting that both teammates would end their careers
ranked tied for tenth in school history with 19.5 quarterback sacks.
When Cunningham was inserted into the starting lineup as a sophomore, his pursuit skills helped limit the opposition to
just 103.31 rushing yards per game.
With 10 more pounds of bulk added to his frame, the junior defensive end helped the Gators’ defense improve to fourth in
the country, allowing just 285.29 total yards per game in 2008. Florida continued its rise with Cunningham leading the
way, as the defense finished fourth in the major college ranks in 2009, giving up just 252.27 yards through their 14-game
schedule.
The Stephenson High School team captain led the squad to the state semifinals as a senior. He averaged 15 tackles per
game and registered 25 quarterback sacks that year. One of his most memorable moments came when he sealed a 6-0
victory over arch-rival Southwest DeKalb in 2005 with a pair of quarterback hurries on fourth downs in the fourth quarter.
As a junior, the linebacker registered 20 sacks.
A member of the scout team for part of the 2006 season, Cunningham played in seven contests, mostly on special teams
as a true freshman at Florida. He did see some defensive end duty vs. Central Florida, but totaled just two solo tackles
while earning his first varsity letter.
Despite measuring in at just 229 pounds, Cunningham took over the demanding right defensive end position for the
Gators in 2007. He was outweighed by at least seventy pounds vs. the opposing left offensive tackle, but still managed to
rank second on the team and 14th in the Southeastern Conference with six sacks.
Cunningham finished third on the squad with twelve stops for loss and registered 64 tackles (34 solos). He also deflected
three passes and picked off another when asked to cover in the short area aerial game.
As a junior, Cunningham started 13 games at right end. He registered 52 tackles (23 solos), ranking second on the squad
and ninth in the conference with six sacks. His ten tackles behind the line of scrimmage also placed second on a squad
that allowed only 105.43 rushing yards per game.
All four of Cunningham’s pressures in 2008 led to turnovers (three interceptions, one fumble), as he also caused four
fumbles. In pass coverage, three of his four pass break-ups came on third-down attempts.
Cunningham started 12 games in 2009, earning All-SEC second-team honors. Cunningham compiled 34 tackles (21
solos), his lowest totals as a starter. But, he finished second on the team in sacks (seven) for the third straight year, as
that total ranked tied for fourth in the SEC. He led the Gators with twelve stops behind the line of scrimmage, fifth-best in
the league. He totaled six pressures, three coming on third-down snaps and caused two fumbles while recovering
another.
CAREER NOTES
Cunningham started 38 of 45 games at Florida, registering 152 tackles (80 solos) with 19.5 sacks for minus 126 yards,
34.0 stops for losses of 162 yards and 11 quarterback pressures…Recovered one fumble and caused five
others…Returned an interception 18 yards and deflected seven passes…Tied Carlos Dunlap (2007-09) for tenth on the
school career-record list with 19.5 sacks…His 34 stops behind the line of scrimmage rank 11th in Florida annals.

CARLOS DUNLAP
Defensive End
#8
6:05.6-277
North Charleston, South Carolina
Fort Dorchester High School
OVERVIEW
With Dunlap’s athletic ability, long arms and explosive quickness, many talent evaluators compare him favorably to when
Jevon Kearse entered the National Football League. Upon his arrival at Florida, he was nicknamed “Freak II” and “Baby
Freak” by Gators followers for his speed and speed rush, especially in the pass rush, after Kearse, who was known as
“The Freak” during his UF playing days.
Dunlap has excellent leaping ability that makes it tough for opposing quarterbacks to execute the short passes without
fear that the Gators defensive end’s wingspan (84 inches) won’t result in a batted ball at the line of scrimmage.
In his only year as a full-time starter, three of his six pass deflections came on third-down snaps in 2009. Opponents
managed to complete only one of 20 passes targeted into his area, with that completion coming in his final collegiate
game, a desperation pass late in the Sugar Bowl. His long reach also played a vital role on the Florida special team
coverage units, as he blocked four kicks during his first two seasons performing for those squads.
Dunlap and fellow defensive end, Jermaine Cunningham, rank 10th in school history with 19.5 quarterback sacks each.
At Fort Dorchester High School, Dunlap was an athletic defender who was rated 15th on ESPN’S Top 150 team and
ranked second among defensive ends on that squad. He also ranked first among weak side defensive ends and fifth
among all prospects according to Rivals.com. He was chosen to participate in the annual Offense-Defense All-American
game after his senior season.
During his senior year, Dunlap recorded an outstanding 105 tackles, that included 24 sacks and 35 stops for loss and. As
a junior, he collected 103 tackles, 22 stops behind the line of scrimmage, nine sacks and scored four defensive
touchdowns. He also returned kicks for his team.
Florida won a heated recruiting war for Dunlap’s services for the 2007 campaign. He was selected to the Southeastern
Conference Freshman Academic Honor Roll, seeing action in all thirteen games, primarily as a pass rusher and on
special teams. He finished the year with seven tackles (six solos), including a sack, two stops for loss and two pressures.
He registered the first of four blocked kicks for his career and broke up one pass.
Dunlap dedicated his first collegiate sack vs. South Carolina in 2007 to former high school teammate Robert Quinn, who
had a brain tumor in November of that year that nearly ended his football career. The two are still close and in contact and
Quinn has now recovered from the tumor and started for North Carolina.
Dunlap earned second-team All-SEC and Sophomore All-American honors in 2008. He led the conference with 9.5 sacks
and ranked fifth with 13.5 stops behind the line of scrimmage. He added seven pressures and caused a fumble. He also
blocked three kicks, the most by any player during coach Urban Meyer’s time at the university.
An intense off-season training program saw Dunlap grow from 240 pounds as a freshman to a rock-solid 290 pounds prior
to the opening of 2009 fall camp. With his imposing figure, he added much needed power, while also retaining his
impressive quickness.
Dunlap earned All-SEC first-team honors and was a semifinalist for the Lombardi Award as a junior. He started 12 games
at left defensive end, again leading the team with nine sacks, third-best in the conference. He finished second on the
squad with 10.5 stops for loss, adding 38 tackles (29 solos) while deflecting six passes.
“Carlos has all of the physical tools to be successful at the next level,” Meyer said. “I believe if he continues to grow and
mature he will have a very long career in the NFL. He provided matchup problems for opposing teams and was a big part
of our success during the last several years.”

EVERSON GRIFFEN
Defensive End
University of Southern California Trojans
#93
6:03.3-273
Avondale, Arizona
Agua Fria High School
OVERVIEW
Griffen is a powerful player who can also rush the passer. While he can pressure the quarterback with the best of them,
his value comes in his ability to be an every-down player. He has amazing athleticism and is very nimble for a player his
size, but also has the strength to hold up vs. the run.
His power and explosion off the snap makes it tough for offensive tackles to move him off the ball. He boasts a powerful
initial punch and has quick, active hands to disengage blockers and make plays.
What makes Griffen unique is his exceptional athleticism and speed off the edge that also allows him to rush the passer
on third down. In 2009, five of his seven sacks came on third downs and forced punts.
“Quickness is my strength,” Griffen noted. “I can knock away offensive linemen’s hands before they put them on me.
When it comes to making sacks, I don’t know how to explain it, because it’s the greatest feeling in the world. When you’re
coming off the edge and the quarterback doesn’t see you, it’s like a free shot to heaven.”
Griffen is the ideal every-down defensive end in a 4-3 scheme that doesn’t need to be heavily rotated. He can anchor vs.
the run or rush the passer no matter the situation. His outstanding size and strength vs. the run also displays potential for
him to play the defensive end position in a 3-4 defensive alignment. He has seen time in both formations during his
collegiate career at USC. It’s this versatility that makes him an intriguing prospect.
Griffen prepped at Agua Fria High School, where he was one of the most sought-after recruits in the country. The Super
Prep and Scout.com Player of the Year racked up 77 tackles, 16.0 sacks, and one fumble recovery on defense, and 1,251
yards with 20 touchdowns on 159 carries (7.9 ypc) on offense. He earned Parade, EA Sports, Super Prep, Prep Star,
Scout.com and Tom Lemming Prep Football report All-American honors.
Griffen also received Super Prep Elite 50, Prep Star 100, Rivals.com 100, Super Prep All-Farwest, Prep Star All-West,
Scout.com All-West, Long Beach Press-Telegram Best in the West, Orange County Register Fab 15, Tacoma News-
Tribune Western 100 and Gatorade Arizona Player of the Year honors. He was rated a five-star prospect and listed as the
top defensive end in country by Rivals.com and Scout.com.
Griffen chose to attend Southern California over offers from many other schools, including Notre Dame and Michigan. He
enrolled in 2007, playing in 12 games with two starts, becoming the first true freshman to start a season-opener on the
defensive line since Tim Ryan in 1986. He had a stellar first year as he racked up 21 tackles and 5.5 sacks, two forced
fumbles, a fumble recovery and two pass deflections.
He was named to the 2007 The Sporting News, Football Writers Association, Rivals.com, Scout.com and College Football
News Freshman All-American teams. Griffen was also named The Sporting News Pac-10 Defensive Freshman of the
Year and was an All-Pac-10 Conference honorable mention.
As a sophomore in 2008, Griffen played in 12 games, starting the first three, as he recorded 18 tackles, including six for
losses, with 4.5 sacks. He recorded sacks vs. Ohio State, Oregon, Arizona State, Arizona, and California, as a key piece
to a defense that ranked second nationally allowing, just 221.77 total yards of offense per game.
Griffen started 12 games in 2009. He earned a second-team All-Pac-10 Conference honors, as he racked up 45 tackles
with 8.5 tackles behind the line of scrimmage, seven sacks, one forced fumble, a fumble recovery, one pass breakup, and
a quarterback pressure.
The junior’s best game of the year came in a win vs. Notre Dame, when he registered four tackles, two sacks, and one
quarterback hurry. The defensive end finished the season tied for 48th nationally with an average of .58 sacks per game.
Former USC head coach Pete Carroll praised Griffen after the Notre Dame game, stating, “He’s now playing the best that
he’s ever played. He’s utilizing his great speed and explosiveness. He looks to be a real factor. He’s fast, really fast at
getting to the quarterback.”

GREG HARDY
Defensive End
University of Mississippi Rebels
#86
6:04.0-281
Millington, Tennessee
Briarcrest Christian School
OVERVIEW
Few 2010 NFL Draft prospects are blessed with the athleticism and ability to penetrate the backfield like Greg Hardy.
He earned Freshman All-American distinction his first year at Mississippi and then garnered All-American honors as a
sophomore and again his junior year. In each of his four seasons, he either led or tied for the lead in quarterback sacks
among his Rebels teammates. In 2007, he captured the opposing passer ten times and made 18.5 stops behind the line
of scrimmage. The following year he delivered 8.5 more sacks. In 40 games at Ole Miss, Hardy delivered 26.5 sacks to go
with 39.5 stops for loss.
This is a pure athlete whose talents are obvious. Each of his three receptions was good for touchdowns during his brief
action as a 255-pound wide receiver during his first two seasons at Mississippi. Further evidence of his untapped athletic
talent came after the 2006 football season, when Hardy suited up for 15 games with the Ole Miss basketball team.
At Briarcest Christian School, Hardy was named to the Super Prep All-Dixie team. The All-State pick was rated the fifth-
best prospect in the state of Tennessee by Super Prep, ranking eighth by Scout.com and 12th by Rivals.com. Scout.com
rated the youngster as the 44th-best defensive end in the nation. He added All-Metro honors from the Commercial Appeal
and was a member of that news service’s Shelby-Metro Most Wanted list.
Hardy helped lead his team to the state championship in 2004. As a senior, he recorded 65 tackles, including 12 for loss
and six quarterback sacks. He also caught 48 passes for 268 yards. In addition to earning two letters in football, he added
two more each in basketball and track. As a junior, he received All-State honorable mention in basketball.
Hardy earned Freshman All-American honors in 2006, going on to start nine games at left defensive end. He also saw
some action as a situational receiver, turning his first career reception into a 23-yard score vs. Mississippi State. On the
opposite side of the ball, he had three sacks, five stops for loss and 49 tackles (28 solos). He also paced the team with
four forced fumbles, recovering two of those miscues.
Hardy led the team in sacks (10.0) and tackles for loss (18.0), posting 64 hits (40 solos) in 10 games that included four
starting assignments at right defensive end. He continued to cause problems in opposing backfields, causing fumbles on
three of his sacks. He also saw brief action on offense, as both of his receptions were good for touchdowns.
As a sophomore, he again led the team with 8.5 sacks and had 9.5 stops behind the line of scrimmage. He picked off a
pass for a 22-yard return vs. Louisiana-Monroe, finishing with 18 tackles (11 solos), as he again received All-American
honors.
With nine games of reserve duty in 2009 due to several injuries, he closed out his final season with 16 tackles, but for the
fourth season, he led the Rebels with 5.0 sacks.

LAMARR HOUSTON
University of Texas Longhorns
#33
6:02.6-305
Colorado Springs, Colorado
Doherty High School
OVERVIEW
During his Longhorn career, Houston developed from a cat-quick, pass rushing defensive end into one of the more
dominant, physical interior defenders, consistently winning battles at the point of attack. With the hand technique and spin
moves he developed playing on the edge, few offensive guards can mirror his moves when Houston is pursuing ball
carriers working down the line.
The three-time member of the University of Texas’ Athletics Director's Honor Roll, Houston is an instinctive pass rusher
who plays with a wide base vs. the run, having a good feel for locating the ball quickly. His field vision and intelligence has
allowed the Longhorns staff to stunt him often, as he has good knowledge for handling assignments in a variety of roles.
Houston has also been utilized on special teams and as a fullback to root out linebackers in short yardage and goalline
situations. In 50 games at Texas, he started 33 times, playing with the first unit as a “power” end, “quick” end and right
defensive tackle.
Houston earned Parade and EA Sports All-American honors as a linebacker at Doherty High School, where he also
excelled as a running back. The two-time All-State selection was named the Rocky Mountain News Colorado Defensive
Player of the Year and Gatorade Player of the Year for Colorado as a senior.
One of only three juniors chosen to the All-State squad, he added first-team All-Conference, second-team All-Area and
first-team All-City honors as a sophomore while playing fullback and defensive end. He would finish his career with 3,325
yards rushing and 49 touchdowns to go along with 239 tackles and 13 sacks in three seasons. He posted over 100
tackles in each of his final two prep campaigns and averaged 8.1 yards per carry (411 attempts) for his career.
As a senior, Houston rushed for 1,770 yards and 28 touchdowns on 230 carries (7.7 ypc). He also made 101 tackles,
including 19 stops for loss, eight sacks, an interception and three fumble recoveries. His top performance came when he
rushed for 339 yards and four touchdowns on 33 carries in a win over Gateway in 2005.
The first-team All-Conference linebacker and fullback rushed for 779 yards and 11 scores on 70 attempts (11.1 ypc) and
tallied 100 tackles, two sacks and three fumble recoveries during his junior season. He carried 111 times for 776 yards
(7.0 ypc) and 10 touchdowns to go along with 38 tackles and three sacks as a sophomore. He also played fullback and
middle linebacker as a freshman.
In addition to football, Houston lettered three times in basketball as a power forward. He also competed in the discus, shot
put and 100-meter hurdles in track and field, placing first in the city and sixth in the state in the discus as a senior with a
throw of 163-0.
Houston was inserted into the mix at “power” (right) defensive end as a true freshman. In 11 games, he totaled eight
tackles (four solos) and registered a sack, two stops for loss and a pair of pressures.
As a sophomore, he shifted to “quick” (left) defensive end, starting 11 contests as he earned All-Big Twelve Conference
honorable mention. Named UT’s Outstanding Defensive End, he collected 45 tackles (20 solos) and had 4.5 sacks among
his 10.5 stops behind the line of scrimmage. He added eight pressures, deflected three passes and even tried his hand as
a kickoff returner, with a 27-yard runback vs. Arizona State.
Houston played most of his junior season with a foot injury. He shifted to right defensive tackle, as the then 279-pounder
started eight games. He was suspended for the Texas-El Paso contest due to an off-field issue, resulting in him having a
trying 2008 season. He was a second-team Academic All-Big Twelve Conference pick, as he totaled 23 tackles (16 solos)
with six stops for loss and seven pressures.
Houston has been active in UT's community service program. He is part of a group of Longhorns that regularly visits
patients at the Austin Children's Hospital and participates in activities for Mothers vs. Drunk Driving. He also spoke during
a program called “Smart Girls” that builds self-esteem in young girls.
Houston established himself as one of college football’s dominant interior lineman. Now pushing a rock-solid 300 pounds,
the All-Big Twelve Conference first-team pick led a unit that ranked first in the nation vs. the run (72.36 ypg) in 2009. He
recorded a career-best 60 tackles (40 solos), as he had 7.0 sacks and ranked sixth in the league with 17.0 stops behind
the line of scrimmage.

LINVAL JOSEPH
Nose Guard/Defensive Tackle
East Carolina University Pirates
#97
6:04.4-328
Gainesville, Florida
Sante Fe High School
OVERVIEW
The metamorphosis of Joseph from his freshman year to his junior season has been remarkable. Thanks to his dedication
to off-season conditioning, he is one of the strongest players in college football.
His dominance in the trenches as a sophomore saw the Pirates lead Conference USA in total defense (333.0 ypg) and
scoring defense (21.07 ppg) that season.
Joseph continued to plug the interior rush lanes and tie up multiple blockers while playing like a man possessed as a
junior. The Pirates would hold their opponents to an average of 120.29 yards per game rushing in 2009. Joseph had a
hand in making 57 of his plays vs. the running attack, holding those ball carriers to 45 yards (0.79 ypc) and no
touchdowns, dropping 13 runners for a loss while taking down five more for no gain at the line of scrimmage.
Five of his tackles for loss killed scoring drives, all coming on goalline stands. He also posted one fourth-down and four
third-down tackles vs. the run. His performance last season earned him the team’s “Distinction of Attitude, Effort and
Leadership" Award, for his role in helping ECU make their third-straight postseason bowl visit.
At Sante Fe High School, Joseph lettered four times for the Raiders. He was a two-time All-State Class AAA selection,
adding All-Region honors as a senior. He received a three-star rating from Rivals.com, as that recruiting service ranked
him 44th among the nation’s defensive tackles. Rivals.com even featured him in their 2007 recruiting yearbook.
Joseph also excelled as a weight man for the school’s track team. He lettered three times in the sport, helping the team
advance to the state finals, as he competed in the shot put and discus events. A three-time member of Sante Fe’s weight
lifting team, he captured the Florida State Weightlifting Championship as a junior with a 415-pound bench press and a
320-pound clean jerk.
Joseph signed with East Carolina in February, 2007. He appeared in 13 games, starting four contests while sharing right
defensive tackle duties with junior Khalif Mitchell. He was named to the Freshman All-Conference USA team after posting
40 tackles that included 8.5 stops for loss, five pressures and two fumble recoveries.
As a sophomore, Joseph played in 14 games at nose guard, taking over the position full-time during the final five games.
He delivered eight tackles behind the line of scrimmage among his 43 tackles (22 solos) that included 2.5 sacks. He also
used his impressive wing span and leaping ability to block a pair of kicks.
Joseph earned All-American third-team and All-Conference USA first-team honors in 2009. Back at right defensive tackle,
he registered a career-best 60 tackles (22 solos), coming up with three sacks. His 13 stops for loss led the team and
ranked sixth in the league. He also collected fourteen QB pressures, caused two fumbles and blocked a kick, in addition
to scoring on a one-yard rushing attempt.

AUSTEN LANE
Defensive End
Murray State University Racers
#97
6:06.2-272
Iola, Wisconsin
Iola-Sandinavia High School
OVERVIEW
The once 220-pound Wisconsin native is the product of Murray State’s offseason program, having added close to 50
pounds of bulk and muscle to his frame since arriving on campus as a freshman. As he continued to mature physically, he
began to show flashes of brilliance as a pass rusher, coming into his own during a banner junior campaign.
Lane went on to lead the Ohio Valley Conference and rank fourth in the NCAA FCS in both sacks and tackles behind the
line of scrimmage in 2008. His 12.0 sacks and 22.0 stops for loss established school season-records. With 11.0 sacks in
2009, he became the first player in club history with 10 or more sacks twice in a career.
Lane also tied the Racers game record with 3.5 sacks in the 2008 Southeast Missouri State clash. He holds the school
and Ohio Valley Conference all-time records with 29.0 sacks and 55.0 stops behind the line of scrimmage. His average of
0.6744 sacks per game set the Ohio Valley Conference all-time record and rank tenth in NCAA FCS history. His average
of 1.279 tackles for loss per game also established the OVC career-record and rank 16th in FCS annals.
Lane finished the season fourth in the nation as a senior while leading the Ohio Valley Conference with an average of 1.1
quarterback sacks per game. He also ranked third nationally while leading the OVC with an average of 1.86 tackles for
loss per game.
Murray State greatly benefited from Lane’s ability to attack the opposing backfield. They finished second in the league and
33rd in the nation with an average of 2.25 quarterback sacks per game in 2008, compared to 1.55 sacks per game in
2007 (MSU placed 83rd in the nation and sixth in the OVC that year).
th
The Racers also placed 24th nationally with an average of 6.92 tackles for loss per game, an improvement from their 99
place ranking in 2007 (5.09 tpg). With Lane dominating the trenches, Murray State’s defense finished second in the
conference, allowing just 328.42 yards per game in 2008 after giving up an average of 446.36 yards per game during his
sophomore season.
Lane was a two-sport standout at Iola-Sandinavia High School, where he played on both sides of the ball for the football
team. As a senior, he registered 14.5 sacks as a defensive end and also caught 31 passes for 717 yards (23.1 avg) and
13 TDs as a wide receiver.
That effort earned Lane All-Conference and All-Region offensive and defensive honors. He was also named All-State first-
team on defense and was an honorable mention offensive choice. That year, he also recorded 134 tackles (77 solos), as
he recovered four fumbles and blocked five kicks during his final campaign. He added two letters for the Thunderbirds’
basketball team, earning second-team All-Conference accolades in 2004-05.
Lane started nine of the ten games he appeared in as a freshman, lining up at right defensive end. He recorded 34 tackles
(11 solos) with 2.5 sacks and also blocked a pair of extra point attempts.
As a sophomore, Lane, started 10 games, finishing sixth on the team with 48 tackles (28 solos). His 3.5 sacks and 8.5
stops behind the line of scrimmage ranked second among Racers defenders, as he again used his excellent leaping
ability to excel on special teams, blocking the third kick of his career.
Lane added more than 20 pounds of bulk before reporting to fall camp in 2008. The 250-pounder earned All-American
and All-Ohio Valley Conference honors for the first time in his career. He set school game and season-records for sacks,
finishing the campaign fourth in the nation after dropping quarterbacks 12 times for minus 108 yards.
Lane also set the MSU annual record with 22.0 stops behind the line of scrimmage. He recovered three fumbles, caused
two others and blocked the fourth kick during his time with the Racers. He forced seven turnovers by the opposition and
also registered 21 stops on third-down plays and three more on fourth-down.
In his final campaign, Lane was named an All-American first-team selection. He is regarded as the best defensive
prospect in the NCAA FCS ranks and was named the preseason favorite to garner FCS National Defensive Player of the
Year honors.
The Buck Buchanan Award nominee recorded a career-high 65 tackles (33 solos) in 2009. He posted 11.0 sacks with
20.5 stops behind the line of scrimmage while recording 19 quarterback pressures. He is tied for fifth in the FCS ranks
with four forced fumbles and broke up two passes while returning an interception 21 yards for a touch-down.

BRANDON LANG
Defensive End
Troy State University Trojans
#91
6:03.6-266
Tucker, Georgia
Hargrave Military Academy
Tucker High School
OVERVIEW
Lang teamed up with fellow defensive end Cameron Sheffield to give Troy one of the most formidable pass rushing
tandems in college football. During the past two seasons, Lang and Sheffield combined for 31.5 sacks for minus 217
yards in 26 games, 53 tackles for losses totaling 276 yards, nine fumbles and 114 quarterback pressures.
In fact, Lang chased most of that duo’s records, ranking behind that pair on the school career-record list with 38 stops for
loss and 71 pressures. Lang ranks 10th in school annals with 23.5 sacks, but his lost yardage total of 170 is second only
to DeMarcus Ware’s 198 on Troy’s all-time record chart. His minus 215 yards on his 38 tackles for loss is also second in
school history behind Ware’s 252.
During his three-year career at Tucker High School, he posted 71.0 sacks to go with 122 tackles for loss and 290 total
tackles. He also recovered 18 fumbles. As an offensive player, he caught 50 passes for 1,220 yards and 12 touchdowns
while competing as a rush end and tight end.
Lang guided his team to a 34-4 record over three seasons, as he was twice named both first-team All-State by the Atlanta
Journal-Constitution and All-Region. He was named to the DeKalb County Super 11, and was ranked as the 15th-best
prospect in the state by the AJC. The Super Prep All-American was selected to play in the Georgia North-South All-Star
game and nominated to play in the Army All-American Bowl. He also won the DAR Award.
During his senior season, Lang recorded 145 tackles, including a state record 35 sacks and 61 tackles for loss. In addition
to playing tight end and defensive end, he also saw playing time as a linebacker, quarterback, fullback, flanker and safety
during his prep career. He also lettered one season in baseball.
Lang spent the 2004 season improving his academics while attending Hargrave Military Academy. Competing again as a
defensive end and tight end, he recorded 21 catches for 498 yards and six TDs to go with 15 tackles. He was rated the
country’s10th-best prep prospect by Rivals.com. The following year, he attended classes at a junior college and at Troy.
Given his opportunity to play college ball, Lang did not disappoint. Playing in 13 games as a reserve right defensive end,
he tied for second on the squad with 4.5 sacks and eight stops for loss. He also posted 26 tackles (20 solos), nine
quarterback pressures and a forced fumble.
Lang moved into the starting lineup at the beginning of the 2007 campaign. He lined up at left end for the first three
contests, recording four solo tackles.
Lang began to stake claim as one of college football’s elite pass rushers in 2008. He registered 69 tackles (44 solos) while
starting all 13 games at left end. His 28 QB pressures rank fifth on the school season-record list, as he led the Sun Belt
Conference and tied for 12th nationally with 10.5 sacks. He finished second in the league and 14th in the major college
ranks with 17.5 stops behind the line of scrimmage, as his lost yardage total of 115 yards set a Troy season-record.
The All-Sun Belt Conference first-team choice in 2009 continued to man the left end position. He finished third on the
team with a career-best 73 tackles (41 solos), leading Troy while ranking third in the conference with 8.5 sacks. He totaled
12.5 stops for loss and his 33 QB pressures were the second-highest amount by a Trojan in school annals.

GERALD MC COY
Defensive Tackle
University of Oklahoma Sooners
#93
6:04.1-295
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Southeast High School
OVERVIEW
McCoy is an athlete that works well within any system, whether it is bull rushing from the inside gaps or executing quick,
efficient spin moves to come off the edge and impact the pocket by generating an explosive backside pursuit. His lateral
agility allowed the Sooners staff to line him up in a variety of positions on the front wall.
With his long arms, body control and balance, McCoy is effective at avoiding the cut block, as few men can keep their feet
working through traffic. With a strong hand punch, he can easily split double teams or push the isolated blocker back into
the pocket. He is a patient player who rarely gets out of control or loses position. His ability to plug the rush lanes and
string plays out wide saw him put up impressive “hidden” statistics in 2009.
McCoy’s success in shutting down the opposing ground game was never more evident than in his 2009 season. The
previous year, Oklahoma allowed 367.71 yards per game, ranking 68th in the nation in total defense. With McCoy taking
on a leadership role on a team missing several offensive stars, the defense needed to step up. Following McCoy’s lead,
Oklahoma ranked eighth nationally in total defense (272.62 ypg) and seventh in scoring defense (14.54 ppg) this season.
McCoy was dominant as a run stuffer, as the Sooners limited their opponents to an average of 92.92 yards per game on
the ground, ranking second in the Big Twelve Conference and eighth in the Division I ranks. The junior defensive tackle
recorded 34 tackles in 2009, but on 20 of those plays, the runner was either tackled for a loss or brought down at the line
of scrimmage for no gain. All told, the opposition was held to minus 17 yards on running plays in McCoy’s area.
McCoy is also a strong pass rusher. Six of his 12 quarterback pressures either killed scoring drives or resulted in
turnovers. He also recorded six sacks for losses of 47 yards.
At Southeast High School, McCoy was named National Defensive Player of the Year by USA Today. The 2005 Oklahoma
Gatorade Player of the Year was named to the Oklahoma Coaches Association All-State team and chosen All-City
Athletic Conference Player of the Year.
The Super Prep All-American was rated the best player in the Midlands region by that recruiting service and ranked
second on their Elite 50 squad, along with being the top-rated defensive lineman in the nation. Super Prep also selected
him the Midlands Defensive Player of the Year during his final season. College Football News regarded McCoy as the
nation’s best defensive tackle and 10th-best overall prospect.
Prep Star rated McCoy the second-best defensive lineman in the nation, as he was also a member of their Dream Team
Top 100 squad. Scout.com and ESPN rated him the second-best prep defensive tackle in the country. He was ranked
21st overall on the 2005 ESPN150 team. Rivals.com rated McCoy the best defensive tackle in the nation and the top
prospect in the state of Oklahoma.
McCoy logged 82 tackles, 20.0 sacks and recovered nine fumbles as a senior. He added All-Area, All-State and All-Metro
honors as a junior. He finished that season with 83 tackles, including 23 stops for loss, and 20 sacks, adding one
interception (returned 48 yards for a touchdown) and two fumble recoveries. At the conclusion of his prep career, he
competed in the U.S. Army High School All-American game.
McCoy decided to stay close to home and enrolled at Oklahoma in 2005. He spent that season red-shirting, but his talent
level was obvious. He dominated in 2006 spring drills and forced the staff to scrap their plans to bring him along slowly,
handing him the right defensive tackle job. He did not relinquish that assignment throughout his 40-game career.
McCoy was a consensus Freshman All-American and named the Big Twelve Conference Freshman of the Year in 2006.
He collected only 19 tackles that season, but posted 6.5 stops for loss with two sacks. Four of his six pressures caused
interceptions and ten of his hits came on third-down plays.
As a sophomore, The Sporting News recognized McCoy as a first-team All-American and the Dallas Morning News
named him the Big Twelve Conference Defensive Player of the Year. He delivered 30 tackles in 14 games, that included
6.5 sacks, eleven stops behind the line of scrimmage and three caused interceptions on QB pressures, picking off one
ball himself while knocking down to third-down pass attempts.
The 2009 consensus All-American first-team choice was a Lombardi Award finalist as a junior. He collected a career-best
34 tackles, finishing second on the team with 6.5 sacks among his 15.5 tackles behind the line of scrimmage, adding
twelve pressures from his right defensive tackle position.

EARL MITCHELL
University of Arizona Wildcats
#49
6:01.6-296
Houston, Texas
North Shore High School
OVERVIEW
A former fullback who moved to the defensive side of the ball at Arizona, Mitchell is the consummate team player. After
one year at fullback, he moved to tight end and H-back the following season. With the incorporation of the spread offense
eliminating much of those duties, he eagerly absorbed as much knowledge he could in a short time to develop into an elite
defensive tackles. With just 25 games on the defensive front, he would rank with the Pac-10 Conference’s leaders in
sacks and tackles behind the line of scrimmage in his senior season.
Mitchell is a well-built, athletic defensive tackle who uses quickness and lower body strength to disrupt the offense. His
athleticism is ideal for a 4-3 defensive alignment, as he has the power to split double teams, along with the speed and
lateral agility to execute quick spin moves to impact the backfield coming off the edge.
After switching to defensive tackle in the spring of 2008, he helped boost a unit that ranked 53rd nationally in 2007,
allowing an average of 372.17 yards per game, all the way to 24th in 2008 giving up an average of 313.00 yards.
In his two years at defensive tackle, Mitchell racked up 18 stops in the backfield for combined losses of 60 yards,
including eight sacks for losses of 42 yards. In 2009, he led all Wildcat defensive linemen in total tackles and tackles for
loss, and was second on the team in sacks. His average of 1.04 tackles for loss per game ranked seventh in the Pac-10
Conference (second among interior linemen) and 60th nationally, while his average of 0.54 quarterback sacks per game
ranked eighth in the conference (second among interior linemen) and 55th in the nation.
Mitchell prepped at North Shore High School, where as a senior, he earned first-team All-District 23-5A honors as a tight
end. The Super Prep All-Midlands and All-Southwest choice helped his team to an 11-1 season with their only loss
coming in the area playoffs. He added 5A All-Region III second-team honors, and was a member of the Dallas Morning
News State top 100. Mitchell was given a three-star rating and listed as the nation’s 10th-best fullback prospect by
Rivals.com. Scout.com also gave him a three-star rating, and listed him as the nation’s 29th-best tight end prospect.
Mitchell enrolled at Arizona in 2006 as a 250-pound freshman tight end. In his first season, he played in all 12 games with
seven starts, seeing action as both tight end and fullback. He caught nine passes for 136 yards and one touchdown. He
also carried four times in short yardage situations for seven yards. The freshman’s best game of the season came vs.
Oregon, when he grabbed two passes for 45 yards and his first career touchdown. He also registered Arizona’s lone
blocked kick of the year, a tipped punt at Louisiana State.
As a sophomore in 2007, Mitchell played in all 12 games. He started five contests and again saw action at both tight end
and H-back. He grabbed five passes for 38 yards and one touchdown. He scored his second career touchdown in the
team’s season-opener against Brigham Young.
Mitchell moved to defensive tackle in the spring of 2008. In his first season at the position, he started all 13 games and led
all Arizona linemen with 40 tackles, including 5.5 stops behind the line of scrimmage and 1.5 sacks. He earned a Pac-10
Conference honorable mention, and was a key factor in the middle for a unit that ranked 24th nationally in total defense,
allowing an average of 313.0 yards per game.
Prior to his final campaign, Arizona defensive coordinator Mark Stoops talked about Mitchell’s impact to the team, "He's
just more confident and can help with the leadership. Instead of worrying about himself, he's helping other guys and
learning how to take his game to the next level. We need him to be more of an impact player and continue to refine those
pass-rushing skills. That is where we need him to be a bigger impact player on those pass downs."
As a senior in 2009, Mitchell was named to the preseason watch list for the Lombardi Award, given annually to the college
football lineman who, in addition to outstanding performance and ability, best exemplifies the discipline of Vince Lombardi.
The defensive co-captain was tops among Arizona linemen for the second season in a row with 48 tackles.
The senior led all Wildcat defenders with 12.5 stops in the backfield, ranking seventh in the Pac-10 with an average of
1.04 tackles for loss per game. He also ranked eighth in the conference with an average of 0.54 sacks per game, totaling
6.5 stops while going on to earn second-team All-Pac-10 honors. He was also named the Pac-10’s Defensive Player of
the Week for his performance vs. Southern California.

DERRICK MORGAN
Defensive End
Georgia (Tech) Institute of Technology Yellow Jackets
#91
6:03.0-266
Coatesville, Pennsylvania
Coatesville High School
OVERVIEW
Morgan emerged as one of the most dominant pass rushers in the nation in 2009. No longer having to share the spotlight
with Michael Johnson, Darryl Richard and Vance Walker, the talented junior ably filled the leadership void up front.
Morgan is an athletic player who is equally strong at stopping the run and rushing the passer.
Starting 27 games at Georgia Tech, Morgan’s 19.5 quarterback sacks rank seventh in school history. He added 29.5
tackles behind the line of scrimmage.
He led the Atlantic Coast Conference and ranked eighth in the nation with 12.5 sacks in 2009, the fourth-best season total
by a Yellow Jacket, as his 18.5 stops for loss as a junior ranked second in the ACC, as well as tying former All-American,
Marco Coleman, for seventh on Tech’s annual record book.
Morgan was a first-team All-State selection at Coatesville High, where he earned league Defensive Player of the Year
honors. He was rated the top high school prospect in the state of Pennsylvania by both Rivals.com and Super Prep.
Rivals also rated him the sixth-best strong-side defensive end in the nation and Scout.com rated him twelfth.
As a senior, Morgan collected seven quarterback sacks, adding six more stops behind the line of scrimmage. He also
recorded 47 tackles and had two fumble recoveries as a defensive end. On offense, the running back carried 112 times
for 523 yards (4.67 ypc) and scored eight touchdowns while serving as team captain.
Morgan enrolled at Georgia Tech in 2006, where he was thrust right into the action as a true freshman. He appeared in
twelve games as a reserve defensive end, seeing action on the left and right sides. He was brought along slowly by the
old coaching staff, managing just nine tackles (4 solos) with 1.5 stops for loss and a pass break-up.
With the arrival of new head coach Paul Johnson in 2008, the staff decided it was time to give the youngster playing time
over some veterans. Morgan took over left end duties and made an instant impact.
The sophomore All-American and All-Atlantic Coast Conference honorable mention recorded 51 tackles, finishing second
on the team with seven sacks to go with 9.5 stops behind the line of scrimmage. His alertness on the field also saw him
recovered four fumbles.
Morgan simply dominated the action in the trenches in 2009, earning All-American first-team accolades while being
selected the ACC’s Defensive Player of the Year. He led the league and finished eighth nationally with 12.5 sacks and
was second in the ACC with 18.5 stops for loss.
The junior registered at least one tackle behind the line of scrimmage in 10 contests. He again wreaked havoc in the
backfield, causing two fumbles while recovering two others from his left end position.

MIKE NEAL
Defensive Tackle
Purdue University Boilermakers
#92
6:03.0-294
Merrillville, Indiana
Merrillville High School
OVERVIEW
After three years of patiently waiting for his opportunity, Neal showed the coaching staff why they heavily recruited him.
One of the top prep defensive ends in the nation, the once 245-pound freshman developed into a a rock-solid defensive
tackle who has been one of the bright spots on the team since moving into the lineup two years ago.
Since taking over left defensive tackle duties, Neal registered 11.0 of his 13.0 career quarterback sacks and 21.5 of the 26
tackles for loss he recorded during his Boilermaker career. By far the team’s strongest player, he commanded constant
double-team coverage on almost every snap.
Regarded by many as the strongest and most dominant defensive lineman to wear a Boilermakers uniform since Jeff
Zgonina in 1992, he holds several team weight records, boasting a 510-pound bench press, a 615-pound squat, a 385-
pound clean.
According to Purdue head coach Danny Hope, “Michael Neal can be a great player, not only at his position, but in this
league,” Hope says. “I think he'll be a premier defensive tackle, maybe the best defensive tackle that's played at Purdue
since Zgonina (the Big Ten defensive player of the year in 1992 and a 15-year NFL veteran).”
At Merrillville High School, Neal was rated the nation’s 29th-best strong-side defensive end and the sixth-best overall
prospect in the state of Indiana, according to Rivals.com. Prep Football Report rated him the 56th overall prospect in the
Midwest region while College Football News ranked him 33rd.
As a senior, Neal recorded 59 tackles, including 24 for loss and 12 sacks, with 20 pressures, six pass break-ups and one
blocked kick, earning All-State honors. He also collected 49 tackles, with four sacks, 14 stops behind the line of
scrimmage, three pass deflections and one fumble recovery as junior. In addition to football, he also lettered in basketball.
Neal enrolled at Purdue in 2005, spending his first season competing with the scout team while retaining freshman
eligibility. He used that time to develop physically, adding close to 25 pounds to his frame before his first varsity season.
Arriving in 2006 fall camp at 270 pounds, he saw limited action in nine games as a reserve defensive tackle, finishing with
nine tackles (8 solos), including one for a loss.
In 2007, Neal played an important role in the front line’s rotation. In his reserve left defensive tackle position, he notched
22 tackles. He also delivered a pair of sacks to go with 3.5 stops behind the line of scrimmage.
The junior defensive tackle claimed a starting job on the left side in 2008. With his frame now carrying 293 pounds, Neal
was too much for isolated blockers to contain. He was credited with 33 tackles (18 solos), and a third of them came in the
opposing backfields. He ranked second on the team with 5.5 sacks, the 10th-best figure in the Big Ten Conference. He
also placed third on the squad with ten stops for loss.
Neal continued to fill out his frame, which maxed out at 302 pounds during his senior year. He earned All-Big Ten
Conference honorable mention and was named Purdue’s defensive captain. He registered 35 tackles (20 solos) that
included 11.5 stops behind the line of scrimmage.

JARED ODRICK
Defensive Tackle
The Penn State University Nittany Lions
#91
6:05.0-304
Lebanon, Pennsylvania
Lebanon High School
OVERVIEW
Blessed with exceptional size, strength and toughness, Odrick emerged as a dominating force in the interior of the Penn
State defensive line his senior season. The former defensive end provided leadership and significant contributions from
the interior of the defensive line last fall, earning Big Ten Conference Defensive Lineman of the Year and Defensive
Player of the Year recognition.
Odrick’s skills and tenacity often forced the opposition to put two blockers on him, freeing up a teammate to make a play.
A physical, talented, no-nonsense player, his ability to provide an inside push was disruptive to the opposing team's
rushing and passing attacks.
In 2009, he made 43 plays in the run game, holding ball carriers to minus 24 yards, as he made 11 stops for loss, took
down eight runners at the line of scrimmage for no gain and produced eight third-down tackles to kill scoring drives. He
allowed just four carries for first downs vs. the running game.
The unquestioned leader of the Penn State defense, he led a unit that allowed opponents to gain over 100 yards just
seven times in his last 26 contests. Against the pass, three of his four quarterback pressures came on third-down snaps,
with two causing interceptions. He also captured quarterbacks in the backfield seven times.
Odrick’s passionate and dedicated efforts in the weight room and conditioning have helped him improve his speed and
strength and evolve into a physically imposing presence that can make plays all over the field. Fifteen of his 43 tackles as
a senior came in long pursuit. He is a strong, quick and instinctive athlete with tremendous physical attributes that should
merit early draft round consideration.
Odrick was a Parade and U.S. Army All-American selection as a senior at Lebanon High School. He was rated the sixth-
best defensive tackle in the nation by Scout.com. He also added first-team All-State honors and was a Big 33 Classic
selection. After his final year, he played in the 2006 U.S. Army All-American Bowl with future Nittany Lions teammates
Maurice Evans and A.J. Wallace.
As a senior, Odrick recorded 70 tackles, with 10 stops for losses, five sacks and three blocked kicks. He registered 80
tackles, including 18 behind the line of scrimmage, eight sacks and 60 pancake blocks as a two-way tackle during his
junior season.
Odrick played in 10 games as a true freshman at right defensive end for Penn State in 2006. He was on the field for 125
plays and notched four tackles, including his first career sack in the Minnesota clash.
Odrick shifted to left defensive tackle as a sophomore, starting seven of the team’s first eight games before missing the
rest of the year due to injuries. He posted 16 tackles (8 solos) with two sacks, four stops for loss and a blocked kick.
Odrick returned bigger and stronger in 2008, starting 11 games at left tackle in 2008. The junior registered 41 tackles that
included 4.5 sacks. He caused a fumble and made 9.5 stops for loss, including one that resulted in a safety vs. Michigan.
He participated in 661 plays for PSU.
When Odrick was named All-American in 2009, it marked the 94th time a Nittany Lion had been so honored (80 players
total, with several repeat honorees).
The Big Ten Conference Defensive Player of the Year had 43 tackles with seven sacks and eleven stops behind the line
of scrimmage, as PSU ranked second in the Big Ten and ninth in the nation in total defense (274.46 ypg) and placed sixth
in the FBS in run defense, allowing only 89.85 yards per game on the ground.

VINCE OGHOBAASE
Defensive Tackle/Nose Guard/Defensive End
Duke University Blue Devils
#3
6:05.2-303
Houston, Texas
Alief Hastings High School
OVERVIEW
Blessed with an incredible wingspan and fine strength, Oghobaase also a strong first-step off the snap.
The defensive captain’s value to the Blue Devils was never more evident than during the 2009 campaign. Duke compiled
a 4-3 record and had a three-game win streak with Oghobaase in the trenches, but without him, they lost three of the four
games that he was sidelined with a leg injury.
Since putting on a Blue Devils uniform, Oghobaase has been involved in 159 plays vs. the run, limiting those ball carriers
to 164 yards with no touchdowns, an average of 1.03 yards per rushing attempt. In 44 career contests, that has resulted in
teams gaining 3.73 total yards per game on the ground vs. the powerful defensive tackle. In comparison, during that same
44-game span, the opposition has averaged 4.46 yards per carry and 174.25 total yards per game on the ground vs. the
rest of the Duke defense.
At Alief Hastings High School, Oghobaase received a five-star rating from Rivals.com and was ranked the 15th-best
prospect in the state of Texas by that recruiting service. The two-year letterman added Prep Star All-American and All-
State accolades. Scout.com rated the defensive tackle the seventh-best in the country at his position, and the third-best
overall prospect in the state of Texas. Tom Lemming of ESPN had him ranked 11th among the prep defensive tackles.
Oghobaase was a Texas Football Top 100 choice. He was one of five finalists for the Watkins Award, an honor given to
the top African-American high school student-athlete in the country. As a senior, the All-State first-team choice registered
68 tackles and 12 sacks, adding 94 tackles and All-District accolades as a junior.
Heavily recruited, Oghobaase enrolled at Duke in 2005 but didn’t see action until the following year. He started all 12
games in 2006, playing mostly at weak-side defensive tackle, but he also saw action at nose guard. He managed to
record 28 tackles (11 solos) with a sack, eight stops for losses and three pressures. He also registered the team’s first
safety since the 2000 season and became the first Duke freshman to serve as game captain, having that honor bestowed
upon him vs. Navy. On 25 running plays that he made stops on, the opposition was held to 10 yards (0.4 avg).
In 2007, the team co-captain delivered 50 tackles (21 solos) with 4.5 sacks. He was credited with 12 stops behind the line
of scrimmage and 15 quarterback pressures. He also blocked a kick. Even though the team gave up an average of 180.25
yards per game on the ground, he held the opposition to 37 yards on 48 running plays he was involved in, leading all
Atlantic Coast Conference down lineman by holding those runners to an average of 0.77 yards per rushing attempt.
Oghobaase was named an All-American honorable mention and All-Atlantic Coast Conference second-team in 2008. With
the new coaching staff in place installing a 4-3 defensive alignment with multiple zone blitzes, Oghobaase did a stellar job
of handling multiple blockers, demonstrating impressive pass rush skills in the second half of the schedule. He finished
with 51 tackles (22 solos), tying for the team lead for the second-straight year with six sacks among his nine stops for
loss. His fourteen quarterback pressures ranked second among defensive tackles in the major college ranks.
In 2009, the team captain was selected as a preseason All-American second-team and All-ACC first-team pick. He was
later named to Phil Steele’s midseason All-Atlantic Coast Conference first-team.
In eight games during his final season, Oghobaase registered 2.5 sacks, 7.5 stops for loss and 10 quarterback pressures.
He registered 38 tackles (18 solos), as he caused a fumble on one of those pressures and also deflected one pass.

JASON PIERRE-PAUL
Defensive End
University of South Florida Bulls
#90
6:04.6-270
Deerfield Beach, Florida
Fort Scott Community College
College of the Canyons
Deerfield Beach High School
OVERVIEW
Pierre-Paul, an accomplished high school basketball player, came into his own as a football player in 2009. concentrated
on basketball during his four seasons at Deerfield Beach High. With just one season of high school football experience
under his belt, he ended up at the College of the Canyons, a junior college in California.
The Canyons’ head coach, Garett Tujague, an offensive lineman at Brigham Young when Heisman Trophy-winning
quarterback Ty Detmer starred for the Cougars, recalls watching tape on Pierre-Paul. “He's a freak of nature,” Tujague
said. “When one of my assistants first showed me film on him, I watched three plays, and I’m like, ‘Are you kidding me?’
Some of the things I was able to witness him do first-hand were unreal. You don't get to coach too many kids like that.”
One year after hanging up his basketball uniform, Pierre-Paul earned All-American and All-Western State Conference
first-team honors at the Canyons in 2007. That season, he registered 49 tackles (42 solos), leading the conference and
state junior college ranks with 14.0 sacks and 19 stops behind the line of scrimmage. He also intercepted a pass,
deflected five others and caused two fumbles.
What really stood out during his first collegiate season on the gridiron were his standout performances in the playoffs.
Against Saddleback, he registered three sacks, picked off a pass and posted seven solo tackles. The following week, four
of his five tackles vs. Bakersfield came behind the line of scrimmage.
After his freshman season, Paul-Pierre left College of the Canyons, enrolling at Fort Scott Community College in Kansas.
The All-American and All-Jayhawk Football Conference selection continued to develop. He delivered 67 tackles (50
solos), 10.5 sacks and 20.5 stops for loss. He also recovered two fumbles and caused three others. He guided the
Greyhounds to a 9-2 record and a victory in the Heart of Texas Bowl.
After receiving nary a nibble from any major colleges coming out of high school, Pierre-Paul was the most coveted down
lineman in the junior college class in 2009. He earned a five-star prospect rating from Scout.com and was heavily pursued
by such universities as Florida, Miami, Florida State, Kansas State, Arizona and Nebraska and Oklahoma State.
Paul-Pierre eventually decided to enroll at South Florida, but could not report until late in fall camp. When camp opened,
he was still back home in Deerfield Beach completing two online elective classes he needed to finish his associate of arts
degree. The USF coaches spoke to him about the possibility of redshirting, but his performance in practice convinced
them to let him suit up and play last fall. He was listed fourth on the depth chart when he first arrived on campus, but
played in all 13 games, starting seven contests.
Paul-Pierre was named to Pro Football Weekly’s All-American first-team in 2009. He added All-Big East Conference
honors, as he ranked third in the league with 16.5 tackles behind the line of scrimmage. He added 6.5 sacks, along with
45 hits (27 solos), as he broke up three passes and picked off another for an 18-yard touchdown return.
CAREER NOTES
In three collegiate stops, Pierre-Paul played in 35 games, recording 161 tackles (119 solos) with 31.0 quarterback sacks

in 2002) and Greg Walls (18.0 in 2002) on USF’s season-record list…His 6.5 sacks in 2009 were the most by a Bulls’ first-

BRIAN PRICE
Defensive Tackle
University of California, Los Angeles Bruins
#92
6:01.1-303
South Central Los Angeles, California
Crenshaw High School
OVERVIEW
The main weapon in Price’s arsenal is a powerful rip move that is especially effective when combined with his outstanding
leverage. He also has one of the fastest first steps among defensive tackles at the collegiate level and absolutely bursts
off the ball. His speed off the snap and active hands make it very difficult for offensive lineman to fully engage blocks,
giving him the advantage and allowing him to work his way into the backfield.
Price elevated his game in 2009, ranking third nationally in tackles for loss with 23.5, and he cost offenses 96 yards in
losses. His average of 1.81 tackles for loss per game ranked fourth in the NCAA. He also tied for 64th-nationally in sacks
this season with seven. His impact on the defense was apparent, as UCLA ranked fifth nationally in tackle for loss as a
unit with 106 (8.15 tackles for loss per game).
Price’s season total was also good enough for second all-time on UCLA’s single-season record list, behind only current
Washington Redskin Robert Thomas (26 tackles for loss in 2001). He ranks second in UCLA history with 44.5, just one
behind only long-time NFL safety Carnell Lake (45.5 tackles for loss from 1985-88).
At Crenshaw High School, Price received a five-star rating from Scout.com, and ranked nationally as the seven-best
defensive tackle and 50th-overall prospect by that recruiting service. Additionally, Rivals.com gave him a four-star rating,
and listed him fifth nationally among defensive tackles. The three-year letterman added Parade All-American honors to his
many accolades, and was selected to play in the prestigious U.S. Army All-American game.
Price was an Orange County Register Fab 15 choice. He was named the Los Angeles City Section Defensive Player of
the Year in 2006, and the Coliseum League Defensive MVP for the second straight year after registering 85 tackles, 17
tackles for loss, 15 sacks, four forced fumbles, and two recovered fumbles as a senior.
As a junior, Price received his first Coliseum League Defensive MVP honor as he tallied 111 tackles, including 22 sacks.
Heavily recruited, he chose UCLA over offers from Arizona, Arizona State, California, Oregon, Southern California and
Washington.
As a freshman in 2007, Price earned him second-team Freshman All-American honors from Rivals.com and Scout.com,
and honorable mention from The Sporting News, as well as The Sporting News Pac-10 All-Freshman team. He also
received recognition from his team, being named the defensive winner of UCLA's John Boncheff, Jr. Memorial Award for
Rookie of the Year.
After a sensational freshman season, Price had lofty expectations for his sophomore year. He was named to the pre-
season Watch List for the 2008 Lombardi Award. Price started all 12 games that season, leading the team in tackles for
loss with 14 to rank seventh in the Pac-10 and 46th nationally. He was second on the team in sacks with 4.5 and tied for
fourteenth in the conference.
Price even played on offense as a fullback in goalline situations several times throughout the season, displaying his
athleticism and power. He ended the season on a high note vs. Southern California, making two tackles, one for loss, and
forcing a fumble which set up a touchdown. After the game, Price was named winner of UCLA's Donn Moomaw Award,
given to the most outstanding defensive player in the team’s annual contest vs. the Trojans.
Price finished the season registering 35 tackles (25 solo) with 14 for combined losses of 54 yards, 4.5 sacks, one
interception, one fumble forced, one pass break-up, and one blocked kick. He was named a first-team All-Pac-10
selection by the league's coaches, and first-team Sophomore All-American by College Football News.
During his junior season, Price was named Pac-10 Conference Pat Tillman Defensive Player of the Year and first-team
All-Pac-10. He was a semifinalist for the Bednarik Award (nation’s top defender) and a quarterfinalist for the Lott Trophy
(nation’s best defender on and off the field). He was also an All-American first-team choice.
Starting all 13 games, he was a dominating force in the middle for UCLA, racking up 48 tackles (41 solos) with seven
sacks, 23.5 tackles for loss, two forced fumbles, one QB pressure and one pass break-up, despite facing constant double-
team coverage weekly.

GEORGE SELVIE
Defensive End
#95
6:04.3-252
Pensacola, Florida
Pine Forest High School
OVERVIEW
One of the most decorated players in Big East Conference history, Selvie is the only two-time All-American selection to
perform for the Bulls. A model of consistency, the former 235-pound center quickly adapted to the defensive side of the
ball. By the time he was a junior, he was already leading all active NCAA players in tackles behind the line of scrimmage.
During his time at USF, Selvie was the recipient of 23 conference or national postseason honors. He holds the school
record with nine fumbles forced. He also holds every school game, season and career record for sacks and tackles
behind the line of scrimmage.
At Pine Forest High School, Selvie earned Class 3A All-State second-team honors as a senior two-way lineman. A Super
Senior choice by the Pensacola News Journal, the Emerald Coast all-star selection recorded 55 tackles with six
quarterback sacks that year. He also competed on the weightlifting team.
A two-star prospect, according to Rivals.com, Selvie enrolled at South Florida in 2005. He red-shirted that campaign and
was the recipient of USF's Overachiever Award, for his outstanding work in the strength and conditioning program.
In 2006, Selvie came into his own after switching to defense. He took over right DE duties, starting all 13 games. He was
named the team’s Rookie of the Year and earned a spot on The Sporting News’ Freshman All-American squad. He
posted a career-high 84 tackles that included 5.5 quarterback sacks and 15.0 stops behind the line of scrimmage.
Four of his nine QB pressures caused interceptions and he caused four fumbles with two fumble recoveries, advancing
one nine yards for a touchdown vs. West Virginia. He would add 3.5 stops for loss and eight tackles vs. the Mountaineers,
earning national Player of the Week accolades.
As a sophomore, he was a consensus All-American first-team selection and named Big East Conference Defensive
Player of the Year. He followed in the footsteps of Warren Sapp, Terrell Suggs and Julius Peppers by winning the Bill
Willis Award, which is given annually to the top defensive lineman in the nation by the Touchdown Club of Columbus.
Selvie was also named Tampa Amateur Male Athlete of the Year by the Sports Club of Tampa Bay and was a finalist for
the Ted Hendricks Award and Bronko Nagurski Trophy. He would posted the greatest defensive season in USF history,
as he led the country with 31.5 tackles for loss and needed just one more to break the NCAA record.
The right defensive end ranked second in the nation sacks with 14.5, after leading the country in the category for the
majority of the season. In just 26 games as a Bull, he already had established a new school career-record with 20 sacks.
He would close out the 2007 season with 59 tackles (46 solos), thirteen pressures and three forced fumbles.
Despite playing with a nagging right ankle sprain most of the season, Selvie again received All-American and All-Big East
first-team honors in 2008. He finished fifth in the league with 13.5 stops behind the line of scrimmage, adding 5.5 sacks
with a trio of QB pressures. He also collected 43 tackles (30 solos) and broke up five pass attempts.
In 2009, he was a second-team All-Big East choice by the league’s coaches, totaling 42 tackles (19 solos) during his final
season. He delivered seven pressures and 9.5 stops for loss that included 3.5 sacks.
Selvie would leave his imprint on the school and Big East record books. His 69.5 stops behind the line of scrimmage was
the most by the active NCAA performers, with Brandon Graham of Michigan a distant second at 56 stops. Just Graham
(29.5) and Dexter Davis of Arizona State (31) had more sacks among active players that Selvie’s 29.
CAREER NOTES
Selvie started 50 of 51 games at right defensive end for South Florida, recording 227 tackles (150 solos) with 29.0 sacks
for minus 172 yards, 69.5 stops for losses totaling 303 yards and 32 pressures…Caused nine fumbles and recovered five
others, returning one nine yards for a touchdown…Also deflected eight passes…One of eight players in major college
history to registered at least 60 tackles behind the line of scrimmage in a career, as his 69.5 are topped by only Jason
Babin (75.0, 2000-03)…Babin also inched ahead of Selvie on the NCAA season-record list with 32.0 stops for loss in
2003, as Selvie totaled school and Big East Conference records with 31.5 in 2007…Selvie’s 29.0 sacks tied Kenny
Holmes of Miami (1993-96) for sixth place on the Big East career-record list…His 14.5 sacks in 2007 set the USF season-
record and rank fifth on the conference annual record chart…His four sacks vs. Elon in 2007 tied the school game-record
that was first set by Shurron Pierson vs. Southern Mississippi in 2002 and rank third on the Big East game-record list
behind Elvis Dumervil of Louisville (six vs. Kentucky, 2005) and Dwight Freeney of Syracuse (4.5 vs. Virginia Tech,
2000)…Holds the school’s top three spots on the game tackle-for-loss chart, with six vs. Elon in 2007, five vs. North

D’ANTHONY SMITH
Louisiana Tech University Bulldogs
#5
6:02.1-304
Pickering, Louisiana
Pickering High School
OVERVIEW
Smith is a skilled inside run stuffer with the ability to play outside in a 3-4 defensive alignment, or bulk up to command the
middle of the field as an under-tackle in a 4-3 scheme. Blessed with exceptional strength, he had to use all his power last
year to compensate for a rash of injuries and defections that left the Bulldogs with just three capable interior linemen for
the entire campaign.
While he excelled on the football field, Smith was equally diligent in the classroom, where it took him just three-and-a-half
years to graduate, boasting a 3.0 grade point average while majoring in Psychology.
Smith uses terrific athleticism to break through the interior of the offensive line. The two-time first-team All-Western
Athletic Conference performer is blessed with speed and quickness. He uses his great burst off the snap and agility to
work his way around offensive lineman and disrupt plays in the backfield.
In his four-year career, Smith made 23.5 tackles behind the line of scrimmage, costing the offense 105 yards. His 12.5
sacks rank tied for sixth in school history, topped by only Walter Johnson (38, 1983-86), Johnny Robinson (16, 1977-80),
Mike Wood (14, 1986-89), Courtney Wallace (13.5, 1985-88), and Lorenza Baker (13, 1988-91).
Smith attended Pickering High School, where his athleticism showed as he starred in multiple sports. On the gridiron, he
was a four-year letterman and started every season along the defensive line. The three-time All-District selection helped
Pickering to the District 5-2A title as a senior in 2005 while racking up 80 tackles (35 solo), five tackles for loss and three
sacks.
He was named to the All-West Central Louisiana team three times and was a three-time Alexandria Town Talk’s All-
Central Louisiana selection. He added All-Southwest Louisiana honors twice and as a junior, he was chosen the District 5-
2A Defensive Player of the Year, as well as the defensive MVP on the All-Southwest Louisiana and All-Vernon Parish
teams. Smith also played basketball for four seasons, and shined on the track and field team. He competed in the shot put
and was the district champ all four years. He won the Louisiana Class 2A state title in the shot put as a junior and senior.
Smith was originally scheduled to play tight end for the Bulldogs, hence the number 5 jersey. It didn’t take the Tech
coaches long to realize they had a gem on the defensive side.
As a true freshman, Smith started eight of 13 games he played in, lining up at both right defensive end and tackle. He
finished the season with 38 tackles (11 solos), including 3.5 stops for loss, 0.5 sacks one pass deflection. He even
intercepted a pass during his first career game vs. Nebraska, returning it seven yards.
As a sophomore in 2007, Smith continued to improve. He started 11 games as he settled into the lineup as the Bulldogs’
right tackle. He registered 42 tackles (15 solos), including 6.5 stops behind the line of scrimmage that included 3.5 sacks,
as well as one hurry and one forced fumble.
While Smith performed well during his first two seasons at Tech, he had a breakout year in 2008. The junior defensive
tackle started all 13 games and recorded 65 tackles (27 solos), leading the team with five sacks and eight stops for loss.
He also had three pass deflections and three quarterback hurries.
He earned first-team All-WAC honors, as well as first-team All-Louisiana accolades from the Louisiana Sports Writers
Association. He was named the team’s Defensive Player of the Week four times and helped lead the Bulldogs to their first
bowl appearance in seven years, a 17-10 victory over Northern Illinois in the Independence Bowl.
Smith returned as a senior in 2009 with high expectations. He was named to the Watch Lists for the Outland Trophy (best
interior lineman), Bronko Nagurski Award (best defensive player), and the Rotary Lombardi Award (college football
lineman who, in addition to outstanding performance and ability, best exemplifies the discipline of Vince Lombardi).
At the end of his final season, he again garnered first-team All-WAC honors, as he recorded 51 tackles (19 solos), 3.5
sacks and 5.5 stops for loss, adding five QB pressures, as well as one fumble recovery. He was named the team’s
Defensive Player of the Week twice.

NDAMUKONG SUH
University of Nebraska Cornhuskers
#93
6:03.7-307
Portland, Oregon
Grant High School
OVERVIEW
Suh’s rise to prominence coincided with the arrival of head coach Bo Pelini in Lincoln, Nebraska in 2008. That year, he
became the first Nebraska down lineman since 1973 to lead the team in tackles.
He followed up a standout ’08 campaign with a banner 2009. The unanimous All-American first-team selection captured
virtually ever national defensive award – the Lombardi Award, Outland Trophy, Bronko Nagurski Trophy, Chuck Bednarik
Award, Big Twelve Conference Player of the Year Award and Bill Willis Award. He became the first defensive player to
capture the Associated Press College Player of the Year Award since its inception in 1998. He was the first defensive
tackle invited to the Heisman Trophy ceremonies since Warren Sapp in 1994.
Suh was the eighth Nebraska player to capture the Outland Trophy and the first since Aaron Taylor in 1997. He also
became the fifth Husker to win the Lombardi Award and the first since 1997. Nebraska’s five Lombardi awards are the
second-most by one school in the 40-year history of the award, trailing only Ohio State’s six Lombardi Award winners.
Suh became the fourth Husker to sweep the Lombardi and Outland in the same season, joining Rich Glover (1972), Dave
Rimington (1982) and Dean Steinkuhler (1983). Overall, he is just the 12th player to capture the Outland and Lombardi in
the same season, with the only other player to do so since 1996 being Louisiana State defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey in
2007, who was also coached by Pelini.
Suh made a clean sweep of the National Defensive Player of the Year awards by winning the Chuck Bednarik Award and
the Bronko Nagurski Trophy. He is the first Husker to receive both of those awards, and he became just the fifth player to
sweep those two awards. As a senior, he commanded constant double and triple team coverage, but went on to be the
first defensive lineman in school history to lead the team in tackles in consecutive seasons.
Suh’s 85 tackles in 2009 were the most by a Nebraska defensive lineman since 1974. He also led the team in sacks,
tackles for loss and pressures for the second straight year. The unit ranked seventh in the nation in total defense (272.0
ypg), ninth in rush defense (93.14 ypg) and led the major college ranks in scoring defense (10.43 ppg).
He led all Big Twelve Conference defenders with 26 pressures and paced the major college interior linemen with 12.0
sacks and 12 stops behind the line of scrimmage. His 10 pass deflections ranked second on the team and his 11 passes
defended made him the only defensive lineman in the country to crack the Top 100 on the NCAA FBS charts in 2009.
Suh was a two-way star at Grant High School, where he earned Parade All-American honors and was voted the 2004
Portland Interscholastic League Defensive Player of the Year and the state Class 4A Defensive Player of the Year. As a
senior, he recorded 65 tackles, including 10.0 sacks and recovered four fumbles. He also starred on the offensive line,
helping the Generals to a 9-3 record and a berth in the state quarterfinals.
Suh earned first-team All-League honors on both offense and defense, and in addition to his defensive accolades was a
first-team All-State pick on offense by at least one media outlet. He also earned first-team All-Portland Interscholastic
League honors on both offense and defense as a junior and was an honorable-mention All-State pick as a junior.
Suh was listed as the top prospect in the state of Oregon by Rivals.com and among the top ten defensive tackle prospects
in the country. He played in the U.S. Army All-American Game, where he lined up on the offensive line. He also played
basketball and was a track standout for Grant High, earning honorable-mention All-League honors in basketball as a
junior and senior.
In track Suh was the district shot put champion in 2004, and won the OSAA Class 4A shot put title in 2005 with a school-
record throw of 61-4. Thanks to his all-around athletic accomplishments, he was a finalist for the Portland Tribune’s
Athlete of the Year.
Suh enrolled at Nebraska in 2005, becoming the first scholarship player from the state of Oregon to play for the Huskers.
He was one of a school-record 13 true freshmen to see action that season. He played in the first two games before
missing the remainder of the season after undergoing knee surgery, receiving a medical red-shirt.
Suh played in all 14 games, mostly as a backup, in 2006, earning Freshman All-Big Twelve Conference honors from The
Sporting News. He also saw time on special teams as a blocker on the place-kicking unit, earning his first career start vs.
Oklahoma, when the Huskers opened that game using their goalline defense. He tied for third on the team with 3.5 sacks,
finished fifth with eight stops for loss and recorded 19 tackles (12 solos) while also picking off a pass.
Suh played in all 12 games, earning 11 starts at nose tackle in 2007. He posted 34 tackles (22 solos) with a sack and four
quarterback pressures. All six of his tackles for loss came in a four-game stretch early in the season.
In 2008, Suh began his rapid rise to college football’s elite. His 76 tackles (39 solos) were the most by a Husker lineman
since 1992. He posted 7.5 sacks and his 19 tackles for loss were the eighth-best total in school history. His two
interception returns for touchdowns set a school record for a defensive tackle.
Suh’s play helped Nebraska finish second in the Big Twelve Conference in total defense at 349.8 yards per game, an
improvement of 126 yards per game from the 2007 campaign. Suh also helped Nebraska record 35 sacks on the season,
22 more than its 2007 total. He also was used occasionally as a fullback, catching a 2-yard TD pass vs. Kansas.
The first defensive lineman to be a Heisman Trophy finalist since 1994, Suh recorded a career-best 85 tackles (52 solos)
with 12.0 sacks, 24 stops for loss and 26 pressures in 2009. He racked up 56 tackles behind the line of scrimmage, the
most by any active NCAA player. In addition to picking off the fourth interception for his career, he also blocked three
kicks as a senior, matching his total from his first four seasons at Nebraska combined.

DANIEL TE’O-NESHEIM
University of Washington Huskies
#66
6:03.4-263
Waikoloa, Hawaii
Hawaii Preparatory Academy
OVERVIEW
Te’o-Nesheim is a high-motor, relentless pass rusher. The two-time second-team All-Pac-10 Conference performer never
quits on any play and gives maximum effort from snap to whistle. Blessed with the size, large hands and long arms you
look for in a pass rusher, his quickness is evident when he drops back to defend in passing situations.
His burst and lateral agility (4.18 20-yard shuttle/6.91 three-cone drill) indicate the potential to become a dominant force
as a strong-side linebacker in a 3-4 defensive scheme. His raw power (29 repetitions at 225-pound bench press) is
highlighted on the field, as he often easily battles offensive linemen bigger than him.
Te’o-Nesheim became a fan favorite during his days at Washington, as he is known for being an energetic, non-stop
player. The defensive end started all 49 games he played in for the Huskies, going on to set the school career-record with
30.5 quarterback sacks. His 50.5 tackles behind the line of scrimmage placed third in school history. He is also a physical
tackler, causing eight fumbles during his career.
Te’o-Nesheim attended Hawaii Prep where he was a two-time first-team All-League selection. As a senior, he led his
team to a 10-2 overall record, including a 9-0 league record, before losing in the state semifinals. He earned a three-star
rating from Scout.com and was ranked as the nation’s 56th-best defensive end prospect. Rivals.com listed him as the
33rd-best defensive end prospect in the country, and the fifth-best prospect in Hawaii.
The defensive end enrolled at Washington in 2005. He was a standout performer on the scout team that year, as he won
the Mark Drennan Defensive Scout Squad Player of the Year award at the team’s annual postseason banquet.
Te’o-Nesheim started all 12 games in ’06 and made The Sporting News Pac-10 Conference All-Freshman team. He
racked up 35 tackles (15 solos) with 6.5 stops for loss, 2.5 sacks and one pass break-up. His best game came vs.
Stanford, when he recorded four tackles with two for loss and 1.5 sacks. At season’s end, he was given the L. Wait Rising
Lineman of the Year Award. He also excelled in the classroom, earning Academic All-Pac-10 honorable mention.
As a sophomore in 2007, Te’o-Nesheim started every game and was voted Washington’s Defensive MVP by his
teammates. He recorded 57 tackles (31 solos) and ranked sixth in the Pac-10 with 15 tackles for loss and ninth in the
league with 8.5 sacks. His best game of the season came vs. in-state rival Washington State, when he registered nine
tackles (six solos), including four for loss and two sacks. He added the team’s John P. Angel Lineman of the Year award.
Although the Huskies struggled in 2008, Te’o-Nesheim was a bright spot. As a team captain, he lead Washington with
eight sacks and 11.5 tackles for loss, recording 65 tackles (41 solos). He ranked sixth in the conference with an average
of 0.67 sacks per game, eleventh with an average of 0.96 tackles for loss per game, and earned second-team All-Pac-10
Conference honors.
The defensive end was named the Guy Flaherty Most Inspirational Award winner, the oldest and most prestigious team
honor at Washington. He once again captured the John P. Angel Lineman of the Year Award, and the L. Wait Rising
Lineman of the Year Award.
Te’o-Nesheim returned as a senior captain in 2009. He started all 12 games (11 at left defensive end, one at left
defensive tackle) and earned second-team All-Pac-10 Conference honors. He notched 37 tackles (27 solos), 14.0 stops
for loss, a career-high 11.0 sacks, five forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries. He averaged 0.83 sacks, as well as
0.42 fumbles forced per game to rank second in the conference in both categories. At the team’s annual season-end
banquet, Te’o-Nesheim collected the L. Wait Rising Lineman of the Year Award for the second-straight season and the
third time in his career.

CAM THOMAS
Defensive Tackle
University of North Carolina Tar Heels
#93
6:04.0-330
Eagle Springs, North Carolina
North Moore High School
OVERVIEW
Thomas’ importance and impact plugging the inside rushing lanes was evident during his Tar Heel career. Facing
constant double-team coverage, he is the consummate team player.
After North Carolina ranked 64th in the nation in total defense (365.38 ypg) and 56th in rush defense (139.38 ypg) during
his junior year, Thomas took over the leadership role on the front four. Even though his statistics did not match those from
his junior season, playing the anchor in the middle of the field allowed Thomas’ teammates to make the big plays. UNC
finished the 2009 campaign leading the Atlantic Coast Conference while ranking sixth in the nation in total defense, as the
Tar Heels allowed just 269.62 yards per game. With Thomas attacking ball carriers, the team led the ACC and placed
10th nationally in rush defense, holding their opponents to an average of 95.62 yards per game.
Thomas was a standout defensive tackle and fullback at North Moore High School. He was rated the 19th-best player in
the state of North Carolina by Super Prep and 16th by the Charlotte Observer. The 300-pound ball carrier rushed for 798
yards and 12 touchdowns on 130 carries as a senior, adding 600 yards with six scores during his junior campaign. He

TORRELL TROUP
University of Central Florida Golden Knights
#98
6:02.6-314
Conyers, Georgia
Salem High School
OVERVIEW
Troup was the most important piece of the coaching staff’s rebuilding of the UCF defense. The three-year starter took on
double-team blockers on a consistent basis. All the changes that took place for Troup and his teammates in the past two
years brought the senior class a trip to the St. Petersburg Bowl. He is one of thirteen seniors who will be departing,
leaving a huge void to fill in the middle of the defensive line.
“I think Troup is a very unselfish player that works at the game and has a great sense of responsibility and accountability
to what needs to be done to win,” UCF coach George O'Leary said. “I think he works extremely hard at the things he
needs to do to get better. His work ethic is contagious. He’s very quiet, but I think he does a lot through his actions.”
Troup also changed positions. After recording 21 tackles during his first 25 games lining up at left defensive tackle, he
shifted to the right side for his junior and senior campaigns. The results were positive, as he registered 87 tackles with
four sacks and 17.5 stops behind the line of scrimmage in his next 25 contests.
Playing under the name of Johnson (he later changed it for family reasons), he was a three-time letter-winner at Salem
High School, earning All-State and All-Area honors as a junior and senior. He was rated the 36th-best prospect in the
state of Georgia by Rivals.com, adding first-team All-North Georgia accolades as a defensive tackle. He finished his final
season with 96 tackles (50 solos), six stops behind the line of scrimmage and three sacks.
As a true freshman, Troup started three of nine games, but struggled with his weight. He would close out the campaign
making just two tackles with a pass deflection in 2006. As a sophomore, he started eleven games and played in all
fourteen at left defensive tackle. He collected 19 tackles (13 solos) with two sacks and made 6.5 more stops behind the
line of scrimmage.
Shifting to right tackle in 2008, Troup garnered All-Conference USA second-team honors. He tied for sixth in the league
with a career-best 12.5 stops for loss that included a pair of sacks. He registered a career-best 52 tackles (30 solos) and
was credited with four pressures, while batting down two passes and causing one fumble.
That performance as a junior earned Troup preseason Bronko Nagurski Trophy, Lombardi Award and Outland Trophy
Watch List recognition. He did not disappoint, earning All-Conference second-team honors and posting 35 tackles with a
pair of sacks, five stops for loss and four pass deflections.
When Troup concluded his freshman year, UCF ranked 60th in the nation in sacks generated (2.08 pg), placed 79th in
tackles-for-loss (5.17 pg), ranked 101st in scoring defense (28.75 ppg), 81st vs. the run (149.25 ypg) and 106th in total
defense (398.08 ypg). As Troup continued to improve, so did the Knights’ defense. By the time he played his final game,
UCF led Conference USA and placed 13th in the nation in tackles-for-loss (7.23 pg), sixth in sacks (2.92 pg), fourth in
rush defense (82.77 ypg) and 42nd in total defense (350.54 ypg).
CAREER NOTES
Troup started 39 of 50 games at Central Florida, including 25 starts at right tackle and 14 at left tackle…Recorded 108
tackles (63 solos) that included six sacks for minus 26 yards, 24.0 stops for losses totaling 77 yards and seven

DAN WILLIAMS
University of Tennessee Volunteers
#55
6:02.0-327
Memphis, Tennessee
Memphis East High School
OVERVIEW
In the last two years, especially with the arrival of former Vols head coach Lane Kiffin and his father, Monte Kiffin, Williams
came into his own as a player. His improved quickness allowed him to play in the opponent's backfield on a regular basis
in 2009. Williams emerged as one of the elite defensive tackle prospects available to teams looking for a stout run-stuffer
with emerging playmaking ability.
While you could always see flashes of what Williams could be during his Tennessee career, his vastly improved burst,
combined with his already impressive strength, made him one of the most feared interior linemen in the Southeastern
Conference as a senior. In three seasons before the Kiffins arrived in Knoxville, the right defensive tackle recorded 90
tackles combined. As a senior, he registered 70.
At Memphis East High School, Williams was an All-State selection by the Associated Press and the Tennessee
Sportswriters Association in 2004. He was an honorable mention All-Southern pick by the Orlando Sentinel, adding All-
Metro honors as a member of the Elite team selected by the Memphis Commercial Appeal in 2003, as well as All-Region
and Most Valuable Defensive Lineman.
As a senior, Williams’ statistical totals included 132 tackles, five sacks, four forced fumbles and two recoveries. As junior
in 2003, he totaled 85 tackles, five sacks, three forced fumbles and four recoveries. He finished his sophomore year with
75 tackles, 10 for lost yardage and two sacks. Those totals helped his team reach the playoffs in his last two seasons.
Williams enrolled at Tennessee in 2005, spending the season red-shirting. He saw limited action in six games in 2006. He
had two tackles, including one sack in the Marshall clash.
Williams moved to left defensive tackle in 2007. He started 10 of 14 games, collecting 40 tackles (19 solos) with a pair of
sacks and 6.5 stops behind the line of scrimmage. He also came up with a crucial block of a field goal attempt to preserve
a victory over Kentucky.
As a junior, he started nine games and appeared in 12. He made 8.5 stops for loss with nine pressures, posting 48
tackles.
Lane and Monte Kiffin came on board for Williams’ senior season, when Williams started every game for the first time in
his career. Along with finishing third on the team with 70 tackles (36 solos), he had 2.5 sacks, nine stops behind the line of
scrimmage and nine pressures.
CAREER NOTES
Williams started 32 of 45 games for Tennessee as the right defensive tackle…Recorded 150 tackles (79 solos) with seven
sacks for minus 47 yards…Registered 25.0 stops for losses totaling 82 yards, adding 22 quarterback pressures…

line of scrimmage for no gain…Made 12 of his running plays inside the red zone, including two on goal-line stands…
Registered six third-down hits against the run and two more in passing situations.
2008 SEASON
Williams started nine games at right defensive tackle…Finished seventh on the team with 48 tackles (23 solos), adding
1.5 sacks for minus 7 yards, 8.5 stops for losses of 19 yards and nine pressures…Also deflected a pass…While the
offense struggled, the Vols defense ranked 10th in the nation in scoring defense, allowing just 16.75 points per game, as
Tennessee led the SEC and placed third nationally in total defense (263.5 ypg) and 12th vs. the run (103.08 ypg).

C.J. WILSON
#95
6:02.7-290
Belhaven, North Carolina
Northside High School
OVERVIEW
The unquestioned leader of the Pirates squad, Wilson is a personable and passionate student-athlete who, as a battle-
tested veteran, has firmly secured a reputation as one of the top defensive ends and pass rushers in Conference USA.
Possessing excellent quickness, strength, athleticism and attention to fundamentals, Wilson has earned his standing as
the unit's sack leader.
Wilson is a music aficionado and an accomplished piano player. He is also an academic success story, as he displayed
dedication and exceptional work ethic in the classroom that earned him selection to the 2006-07, 2007-08 and 2008-09
East Carolina Athletic Director's Honor Roll as a communications major.
Wilson also comes from a sports-oriented family. Two of his older brothers played Division I football. Everett competed at
North Carolina A&T and Amos was a member of the New Mexico State squad. Two other brothers are playing at the
junior college level, one in football and the other in basketball.
Cited by position coach Vernon Hargreaves as the unit's recipient of the “distinction of attitude, effort and leadership”
award the last three seasons, Wilson ranks with the elite at his position among active defensive linemen, including sacks
(27.0), sack lost yardage (164), tackles for loss (45.5), and lost yardage via stops behind the line of scrimmage (213).
At Northside High School, Wilson was a two-time Washington Daily News All-Area choice, playing a key role in the
Panthers’ 13-3 record and a berth in the Eastern Championship contest during his senior year. The team captain also
earned All-Conference honors that season. In addition to football, he earned letters in basketball and track.
Wilson originally signed with East Carolina in February, 2005, but officially joined the Pirate football program after the
spring semester (2006) after completing NCAA eligibility requirements. He became an instant success as a true freshman,
earning his way into the starting lineup for seven games in 2006. He began a string of four consecutive seasons as the
team’s sack leader, dropping four quarterbacks among his 29 tackles (17 solos), six stops for loss and four pressures.
As a sophomore, Wilson came off the bench for the first four games before securing the starting job at left defensive end
for the final nine contests. He posted 36 tackles along with seven sacks. He also produced 10.5 stops behind the line of
scrimmage, along with 12 pressures while blocking two kicks.
The 2008 season garnered Wilson national attention. He was named Conference USA Defensive Player of the Year and
was also selected the league’s MVP. He recorded 70 tackles (35 solos) in 14 starting assignments, ranking second in the
conference with 10.5 sacks and third with 18.5 stops for loss, guiding a unit that led Conference USA in scoring defense
(21.07 ppg) and total defense (333.00 ypg).
Wilson was again named first-team All-Conference USA as a senior. He started all 14 games, posting 57 tackles (23
solos) that included 5.5 sacks, 10.5 stops behind the line of scrimmage and fourteen QB pressures. He also blocked the
fourth kick for his career and caused a pair of fumbles.

LINDSEY WITTEN
University of Connecticut Huskies
#9
6:04.2-258
Cleveland, Ohio
Glenville High School
OVERVIEW
An emerging talent, Witten patiently waited for his opportunity to be a full-time starter. With three years of mostly reserve
duty under his belt, he was primed to show off his skills as a senior. Well-coached in the prep ranks by Ted Ginn, Sr., the
father of Miami receiver Ted Jr., at Glenville High, Witten was up for the challenge of taking on Big East offensive linemen.
Witten also comes from a sports-oriented family. He converses regularly with his older brother Donte Whitner, who started
at strong safety for Ohio State and was picked in the first round of the 2006 NFL Draft (eighth overall) by the Buffalo Bills.
Witten started off his final season strong, registering three quarterback sacks in each of the first two games. He went on to
lead the Big East and rank ninth in the nation with 11.5 sacks, the third-best season total in school history. His 14 tackles
behind the line of scrimmage, a career-high, placed him 11th on Connecticut’s annual record chart.
Witten received All-Big East Conference first-team honors in 2009. His ability to get to the quarterback etched his name in
UConn record books. He closed out his Huskies career as the school’s fourth-ranked sack artist, totaling 22 in 49 games.
He also cracked the top ten for tackles behind the line of scrimmage, (30.5 tfl totaling minus 176 yards).
Witten received just a two-star prospect rating from Rivals.com as a 190-pound defensive end. He earned All-State
honorable mention, recording 98 tackles with 18 sacks as a senior, leading the team to the 2004 state Division I
semifinals.
He was one of 15 Glenville High players to sign with a Division I university, as he enrolled at Connecticut in 2006. He
served as Cody Brown’s understudy until the junior was injured at midseason. The true freshman stepped into the lineup,
starting six games at right defensive end. He posted 39 tackles with 3.5 sacks and six stops for losses.
With Brown back in the lineup for the 2007 campaign, Witten was again used as a reserve, playing in 13 contests. He
recorded 23 tackles (12 solos), adding two sacks and 4.5 stops for loss. He also deflected three passes and had the only
interception for his career against Pittsburgh. Witten was slowed by a knee injury during 2008, totaling 19 tackles (9
solos), but five of those were sacks.
Witten started 12 of the 13 games in 2009. He finished seventh on the team with a career-best 45 tackles (29 solos) to go
with his 11.5 sacks, playing for a unit that allowed opposing ball carriers to average 132.85 yards on the ground.

tenth in school annals, and his 14.0 stops for loss in 2009, placed him 11th on the school season-record list.

COREY WOOTTON
Northwestern University Wildcats
#99
6:06.0-270
Rutherford, New Jersey
Don Bosco Preparatory High School
OVERVIEW
Wootton’s banner 2008 season made him a strong candidate to apply for special edibility for the 2009 NFL Draft, but a
knee injury dictated that he return for a fifth season at Northwestern.
He returned to the Wildcats, starting 11 games in 2009. Wootton continued to improve as the season progressed, playing
his best football in the last month of the regular season, as he recorded at least one tackle behind the line of scrimmage in
each of Northwestern’s five contests on the schedule, including a quarterback sack in four of those five games.
At Don Bosco Prep, Wootton was rated the 62nd-best offensive tackle in the nation and earned New Jersey Top 30
honors from Rivals.com, a recruiting service that listed him as a three-star prospect. The All-State, All-County and All-
League selection also started at tight end and defensive end.
Playing for the top-ranked team in the Tri-State area, Wootton caught eight passes for 152 yards and recorded 62 tackles
with five sacks, as he also scored a defensive touchdown for the Ironmen in 2004. One of his best games came vs.
Bergen Catholic, when he recorded nine tackles, two pass deflections and a tip that led to an interception. He guided his
team to its second straight state title that year. Don Bosco was rated the 15th-best team in the nation during his final year
after finishing second nationally during his junior season on the USA Today poll, as the school stayed unbeaten both
seasons.
Wootton enrolled at Northwestern in 2005, but after starting two of three games, he suffered a neck injury vs. Northern
Illinois and was granted a medical hardship.
The next season, Wootton started all 12 games at left defensive end, earning Freshman All-American honors from the
Football Writers Association of America (FWAA). He was named to The Sporting News' Freshman All-Big Ten Conference
team and was selected the Wildcats’ Defensive Newcomer of the Year Award recipient.
Wootton became the first NU player since Hudhaifa Ismaeli in 1995 to accomplish every major defensive statistic in a
single season (tackles, TFL's, sacks, pass deflections, interceptions, fumbles forced, fumbles recovered, QB hurries and
blocked kicks), as he totaled 51 tackles (31 solos) with 4.5 sacks, nine stops for loss, a forced fumble and a fumble
recovery. He also deflected a pass, intercepted two others and blocked a kick.
Wootton’s sophomore campaign was a quite one, compared to his rookie season. He shifted to right defensive end,
starting all but the Eastern Michigan clash. He would make 39 tackles (21 solos), but had only one sack to go with seven
stops behind the line of scrimmage. He had another interception and five pass break-ups, blocking another kick for the
second-straight year.
In 2008, Wootton was a unanimous All-Big Ten Conference first-team choice. The team captain posted 42 tackles (25
solos), as his ten sacks ranked fifth in the conference and placed third on the school season-record list. His 16 stops for
loss were good for seventh in the Big Ten and tied for fifth on the Wildcats’ annual record chart. He added seven
pressures, blocked a kick for the third year in a row and came up with the fourth interception for his career.
A healthy Wootton down the stretch was a key reason the Wildcats earned an Outback Bowl invitation. Hoping to bring
Northwestern its first bowl victory since the 1949 Rose Bowl, the Wildcats fell short against Auburn, 38-35.
CAREER NOTES
Started 49 of 53 games at Northwestern, as the fifth-year senior recorded 156 tackles (94 solos) with 19.5 sacks for minus

JASON WORILDS
Defensive Tackle
Virginia Polytechnic (Tech) Institute Hokies
#6
6:02.1-262
Carteret, New Jersey
Carteret High School
OVERVIEW
Since George Foussekis became the first Virginia Tech defensive end to earn All-American honors (second team, 1966),
the Hokies developed outstanding pass rushers over the last four decades. From Bruce Smith to Cornell Brown and
Corey Moore, the university prides itself on its ability to get to the quarterback.
Jason Worilds is the latest in the Hokies’ long tradition of pass rushers, but he may be one of the most athletic. In 41
games, he has 15.5 sacks, 75 pressures, 34.5 tackles for loss and caused five fumbles. In 2009, he joined Darryl Tapp
(35 in 2005) and Chris Ellis (38 in 2007) as the only Hokies to register more than 30 QB pressures in a season during the
coach Frank Beamer era.
There is much more to Worilds’ game than just attacking the quarterback. He has proven to be a very capable run stuffer.
In 117 run plays, he has limited the opposition to just 44 yards, an average of 0.38 yards per attempt. No running back
has ever scored against him since he joined the varsity for two games as a freshman. On those 117 plays, he stopped
those runners for a loss 43 times, took down ball carriers at the line of scrimmage for no gain 14 times, made 25 third-
down hits and three more on fourth-down snaps.
Worilds has made 84 plays vs. the aerial attack, as the opposition completed just 10 of those attempts (11.90 pass
completion percentage) for 62 yards, which translates to 6.2 yards per completion and 0.74 yards per attempt, the lowest
figure for any major college down lineman. He delivered 30 third-down stops and three more on fourth down.
At Carteret High School, Worilds became the first player in school history to receive All-State first-team honors in
consecutive seasons. The Super Prep and Prep Star All-American selection was rated the seventh-best strong-side
defensive end in the nation by Rivals.com and was ranked eighth at his position in the country by Scout.com. He picked
up Associated Press All-State honors twice as a defensive end, but also competed as a fullback and outside linebacker.
He also competed as a sprinter and in the weight events for the school’s track team.
The Rivals-250 selection as a senior, Worilds registered 107 tackles, including 10.0 sacks and 18 other stops for loss that
season. He added four fumble recoveries, as he forced five fumbles and came up with one interception. On offense, he
collected 468 yards on the ground as a fullback, scoring 11 touchdowns. Against Perth Amboy, he amassed 183 yards on
11 carries with two TDs, adding two sacks, three stops for loss and caused a fumble that he recovered for another score.
As a junior, he delivered 87 tackles, along with 12.0 sacks and 22 stops behind the line of scrimmage to garner first-team
All-State accolades. He also scored four times while picking up 330 yards on 61 carries that season. He would close out
his gridiron career with 15 touchdowns and 849 yards on the ground, recording 292 tackles with 31 sacks, 42 stops for
loss, fourteen forced fumbles and three interceptions.
Recruited by Virginia Tech, Jason went by the surname of Adjepong as a freshman, but legally changed his last name to
Worilds in the summer of 2007. In 2006, he appeared in the team’s first two games vs. Northeastern and North Carolina
as a reserve at weak-side defensive end, recording four tackles and two pressures. The first-year player also advanced a
blocked punt seven yards vs. UNC. He was granted a medical hardship, missing the rest of the schedule after undergoing
right shoulder surgery.
Worilds not only changed his last name, but also his jersey number prior to the 2007 season, exchanging no. 43 for no. 6.
He appeared in 13 games. He shifted to the boundary side and ranked fourth on the squad with 14 pressures. The red-
shirt freshman also posted seventeen tackles (9 solos) with 2.5 sacks and 4.5 stops behind the line of scrimmage.
Worilds garnered All-ACC second-team honors in 2008. He ranked third in the conference with a team-high eight sacks
and also paced the Hokies with 18.5 stops behind the line of scrimmage and 21 pressures. He blocked a field goal,
caused three fumbles and also broke up one pass to help the team rank seventh in the nation, as Tech allowed just
279.43 yards per game.
Called the team’s “Most Important Player” by the Hokies’ defensive captain and fellow defensive end, Orion Martin,
Worilds was largely responsible for the 2008 squad’s dominance in the trenches.
From 240 pounds two seasons prior, Worilds arrived at 2009 fall camp a muscular 262-pounder. The preseason All-
American continued his stellar play. He finished the campaign with 50 tackles, along with 5.0 sacks, 11.5 stops for loss
and a forced fumble. His 38 quarterback pressures are the most of any major college defensive player.
“He’s a great leader,” fellow Virginia Tech defensive lineman John Graves said. “You know, playing with him ... all these
years, he’s just a cool, calm and collected kind of guy. But, nothing makes him more excited than playing football. He’s an
extremely hard worker. Every day in the weight room, you can find him doing extra things to make himself a better player.”

Riviera Beach, Florida
Palm Beach Gardens Community High School
OVERVIEW
In Young’s last two seasons, he produced 30.85 percent of the sacks recorded by the Wolfpack defense (14.5-of-47).
Even though he was primarily a pass rush specialist, he also made 18.93 percent of the team’s tackles behind the line of
scrimmage (26.5-of-140) during that span.
With long arm, initial quickness and ability to pursue long distances, Young led State in sacks in each of his last three
seasons. He started 36 games for the Wolfpack, at right defensive end in 28 contests and on the left side in nine games.
He finished his career by participating in 2,193 defensive snaps.
Young was a three-sport standout at Palm Beach Gardens Community High School, where he competed in football,
basketball and track. The first-team Class 6A All-State defensive end recorded 65 tackles, including 25 for loss, and had
12.0 sacks as a senior. He also made 60 tackles, 15 stops behind the line of scrimmage and nine sacks as a junior. He
received a three-star prospect rating from Scout.com. In basketball, Young averaged 10 points and 12 rebounds per
game in his senior season. Despite not joining the track team until midway through the season, he finished fourth at the
state 4A meet in the high jump.
Young originally signed with North Carolina State in 2004, and spent that year at a local prep school before enrolling at
NC State in January, 2005. He spent the season competing on the scout team.
One of the standouts of 2006 preseason camp, the “Second Effort” Award winner shared right defensive end duties with
Martrel Brown that year, starting five contests, including the final four. He had five QB pressures with 4.5 stops for loss,
returning his first career interception 34 yards for a touchdown vs. Clemson, finishing with 44 tackles (24 solos).
Young shifted to left defensive end in 2007, starting the final eight games. His 15.0 stops for loss ranked fourth in the ACC
that season and rank seventh on the school season-record list. It was also the second-highest total by a Wolfpack
sophomore. He led the team with 5.5 sacks, as he caused two fumbles, broke up three passes and recorded 38 tackles
(24 solos).
In 2008, he posted 58 tackles (29 solos) with 6.5 sacks, 12.5 stops for loss and 10 pressures. He finished the year strong,
collecting three sacks, 6.5 tackles behind the line of scrimmage and seven pressures in his final five contests.
The Atlantic Coast Conference’s second-leading tackle-for-loss leader among active players, Young was named All-ACC
second team in 2009. He delivered 54 tackles (32 solos) and again led the Pack with eight sacks and 14.0 stops for loss.

OVERVIEW
A relentless tackler, Angerer benefitted from having a veteran defensive line in front to register 107 tackles as a junior. He
followed up with an even more impressive senior campaign, finishing as the nation’s fourth-leading tackler in 2009. His
145 tackles in his final season rank fourth in school history.
Angerer has the ability to register tackles in bunches. At Bettendorf High School, he earned All-State and All-Conference
first-team honors in each of his final two seasons. The team captain holds the school records for tackles in a game (25),
season (197) and career (344) while playing middle linebacker.
His high school resume includes 344 tackles, 63 stops for loss, 17.0 quarterback sacks, five forced fumbles, four
recovered fumbles and one interception. He recorded 128 tackles with 28 stops behind the line of scrimmage, eight sacks

Angerer enrolled at Iowa in 2005, but did not suit up for the Hawkeyes. He appeared in 13 games as a red-shirt freshman
in 2006, recording five tackles, four which were assists. As a sophomore, Angerer shifted to middle linebacker and played
four games, making one assisted tackle.
In 2008, Angerer started 11 of 13 games, earning All-Big Ten Conference second-team honors. The junior finished sixth in
the league while leading the team with 107 tackles (46 solos). He added 6.5 stops for loss and three pressures, causing
two interceptions on those hurries. He also intercepted five passes and broke up three other throws.
The two-time member of Iowa’s Leadership Group, Angerer was a consensus All-American first-team selection in 2009. A

NAVORRO BOWMAN
Outside Linebacker
#11
6:00.4-242
District Heights, Maryland
Suitland High School
OVERVIEW
Another in a long line of standout athletes to perform at Penn State, the athletic, swift and hard-hitting Bowman helped
carry on the “Linebacker U.” tradition.
Talent, hustle, toughness and determination are all attributes that Bowman possesses. He joined All-American Sean Lee,
Josh Hull and promising sophomores Michael Mauti and Nate Stupar to form college football's finest linebacker unit in
2009. With Bowman, Lee and Hull as the starters, the trio combined for 295 tackles, seven quarterback sacks and 36.5
stops behind the line of scrimmage, a major reason that Penn State ranked third in the nation in scoring defense (12.23
ppg), sixth in rush defense (89.85 ypg) and ninth in total defense (89.85 ypg).
Bowman was a standout linebacker and tailback for the late Nick Lynch at Suitland High School. He missed most of his
senior season with an injury, but he had an impressive junior campaign. That year, he recorded an amazing 165 tackles,
with nine sacks and three fumble recoveries and ran for 1,200 yards and 22 touchdowns. For his superlative efforts, he
was selected the Maryland Defensive Player-of-the-Year, first-team All-State, Washington Post first-team All-Metro Area
and first-team All-Conference.
Bowman enrolled at Penn State in 2006, appearing briefly vs. Youngstown State before being red-shirted. He played in
nine games as a reserve left outside linebacker in 2007. In 307 plays, he totaled 16 tackles (4 solos) with a sack, causing
a fumble and recovering another.
He moved into the starting in the fourth game of the 2008 campaign, earning first-team All-Big Ten Conference honors.
He ranked eighth in the league with a team-high 106 tackles (61 solos) that included four sacks and placed eighth in the
conference with 16.5 stops behind the line of scrimmage. He also caused two fumbles, broke up five passes and picked
off another on 702 defensive snaps.
Primed for a banner 2009 campaign, Bowman finished second on the team with 93 tackles (53 solos), ranking seventh in
the Big Ten. He also led the Lions while ranking third in the league with 17.0 stops for loss. His biggest plays came on a
91-yard fumble recovery return for a score vs. Eastern Illinois and on a 73-yard interception return for a touchdown that
sealed Penn State’s victory over Indiana. He would garner second-team All-American honors, as the Bednarik Award
semi-finalist was also selected All-Big Ten first-team for the second consecutive season.

recording 24 tackles with two stops behind the line of scrimmage and one forced fumble. He was also presented with
Washington’s Travis Spring Most Outstanding Freshman award for a defensive player.
As a sophomore in 2007, Butler played in eight games with four starts at middle linebacker. He sat out five games late in

LEE CAMPBELL
Middle Linebacker
University of Minnesota Gophers
#30
6:02.5-246
Naples, Florida
Gulf Coast High School
OVERVIEW
As a 220-pound linebacker, Campbell shifted to left defensive end for the first eight games of his sophomore season
before the 250-pound lineman shifted to the right side for the final four contests of 2007. Bulking to 256 pounds, as he
expected to return to the line, Campbell was again on the move, taking over middle linebacker chores just weeks before
the 2008 schedule. He also filled in at defensive tackle in the early part of the year.
He found a home at his natural middle linebacker position. He has not only neutralized the opposition’s inside running
game, but has also shown off his solid pass coverage skills.
Campbell held the opposition to 356 yards and two touchdowns on 152 running plays during his final 24 contests, an
average of 2.34 yards per carry. Seventeen times, he has brought down ball carriers for no gain and 19 other times, he
made a crucial tackle of a running back behind the line of scrimmage.
Campbell is the only Big Ten Conference linebacker to hold his opponents to under 40 percent in pass completions during
the last two seasons. He has seen just 36 of 96 pass attempts get completed in his area (37.50 percent), holding his
assignments to an average of 6.69 yards per completion and 2.51 yards per attempt and no touchdowns, the lowest
figures of any Big Ten performer during that span. His physical press coverage ability resulted in 59 incomplete passes, a
total just three Big Ten players have exceeded (all cornerbacks).
In his two seasons in the middle, Campbell registered 52 third-down stops (26 vs. the run, 26 vs. the pass) along with a
pair of fourth-down hits. Thirty-three of his 187 tackles came inside the red zone (17.65 percent), including eight on goal-
line plays.
At Gulf Coast High School, the Presidential Academic Award winner and National Honor Society member excelled in the
classroom, football field and wrestling mat. As a senior, Campbell was named All-County, All-State and Class 4A All-
District XII. The linebacker set the school season-record with 151 tackles (88 solos) that included four sacks and 29 stops
for loss. He caused eight fumbles, recovered three others and picked off a pass for a 31-yard return, coming vs. Collier
High, where he also collected 15 tackles and scored on a rushing attempt.
Campbell registered double-digit tackles in 10 consecutive games that season, including 21 (14 solos) and a sack vs.
North Port High, 17 hits (10 solos) with a forced fumble vs. South Fort Myers and caused two fumbles while delivering 13
tackles vs. Naples High. Other top performances included an eight-yard sack and 15 tackles (7 solos) vs. Cape Coral, ten
hits with a pair of sacks vs. Cypress Lake and 14 tackles, including three on a sensational goalline stand that preserved a
19-17 win over Immokalee High.
The two-time All-City, All-Conference and All-Area linebacker also excelled in the 215-pound wrestling division. He
became the first state champion in school history after going undefeated in his final campaign. The Honor Roll student
was also named the top scholar-athlete in Collier County, receiving the Winged Foot Award for his efforts.
Arriving at Minnesota in 2006, Campbell played in a variety of roles for the linebacker unit as a true freshman. He
appeared in a total of 10 contests, recording 11 tackles (9 solos).
Spending a considerable amount of time in the training room, he bulked up to 250 pounds prior to his sophomore year,
winning a spot as the team’s left defensive end for the first eight games before shifting to the right side. In twelve starting
assignments, he ranked eighth on the team with 40 tackles (18 solos), adding two sacks and six stops behind the line of
scrimmage in 2007.
As a junior, Campbell took over middle linebacker duties, starting 12 games. He led the team with 80 tackles (50 solos)
and added four sacks with 6.5 stops for loss and three pressures. He also caused a fumble and recovered three others,
adding a pair of interceptions, along with a pass break-up, while also catching a pass vs. Northwestern.
In 2009, Campbell led the team and ranked third in the Big Ten Conference with 119 tackles (70 solos). He had 1.5 sacks,
made 11.5 stops behind the line of scrimmage and tallied three pressures. He also blocked a field goal and a PAT,
advanced a fumble recovery three yards, broke up four passes and intercepted another for a 32-yard return.

JAMAR CHANEY
Inside Linebacker
Mississippi State University Bulldogs
#22
6:00.6-242
Fort Pierce, Florida
St. Lucie West Centennial High School
OVERVIEW
Chaney made a successful return to the gridiron in 2009 after suffering a left leg fracture in the 2008 season opener vs.
Louisiana Tech. He helped fill the leadership void for a new coaching staff, leading the team in tackles for the second time
in his career.
Hailed as one of the most intense workout performers on the team, Chaney found a home in the middle after beginning
his Bulldogs career as a weak-side outside linebacker. He made an immediate impact in the lineup when he joined MSU
as a true freshman. By the end of his freshman season, he was a starter, a spot he maintained for 39 of his 49 games at
the university.
At St. Lucie West Centennial High School, Chaney earned Class AAA All-State third-team honors as a senior. The holder
of the school career-record with 31.0 quarterback sacks, he was rated the 29th-best outside linebacker prospect in the
country by Rivals.com following his senior season. He was also listed as the 44th-best prospect, regardless of position, in
the state of Florida by Rivals.
Chaney ranked 43rd among all players in the Southeast on the Scout.com regional top 100, the seventh-best linebacker.
He was selected to play in the Florida-California High School All-Star game and also competed on the school’s basketball
team.
In his final campaign, Chaney recorded 65 tackles and 10 sacks in just six games played during his hurricane-reduced
senior year at linebacker. He also played on offense, coming up with eight receptions for 150 yards and three touchdowns
at tight end.
Chaney collected 120 tackles with six sacks, a school-record 22 tackles for loss and five caused fumbles as a defensive
end as a junior. He also returned one interception for a touchdown and scored three times on receptions that season.
Chaney earned immediate playing time from the outset of his collegiate career at weak-side outside linebacker for
Mississippi State. He started three times in 2005, posting 31 tackles (14 solos) with a QB pressure. He started all but the
Alabama clash in 2006, finishing third on the squad with 66 tackles, adding 7.5 stops for loss that included 2.5 sacks.
In 2007, the junior earned All-Southeastern Conference second-team honors after shifting to middle linebacker. In 12
starting assignment he led the Bulldogs with 89 tackles (35 solos), ranking 17th in the league with an average of 6.85 hits
per game. He added four pass break-ups, four stops for loss and a quartet of QB pressures.
A preseason All-SEC pick, Chaney tallied 12 tackles in the 2008 season opener vs. Louisiana Tech before he sustained a
season-ending leg injury. He received an additional year of eligibility and took advantage of that opportunity to return to
MSU in 2009.
The senior middle linebacker finished his final season with 90 tackles (39 solos), adding two forced fumbles, two fumble
recoveries and a pair of interceptions. He ranked tied for eighth in the SEC in tackles per game, averaging 7.5 hits in
2009.

KAVELL CONNER
Outside Linebacker
Clemson University Tigers
#33
6:00.4-242
Richmond, Virginia
Manchester High School
OVERVIEW
Conner was a 200-pound prep standout before earning the 2008 Dedication Award for his performance in the weight
room. He bulked up to a solid 242 pounds and became a force against the run for Tigers. In his senior season, Conner
stopped runners on 87 occasions, holding them to 245 yards and a low 2.82 yards per carry average. He was a key piece
in a defense that ranked 20th nationally allowing just 314.29 yards in total offense per game.
Conner was a three-year starter at running back and safety for Manchester High School (Midlothian, VA). In his junior
campaign, the standout prep earned honorable mention All-State, All-District, All-Region, and All-Metro honors while
rushing for 1,187 yards and 15 touchdowns.
As a senior, Conner rushed for 1,301 yards and 25 touchdowns to complete his high school career as Manchester’s all-
time leading rusher and the third-leading rusher in region history. He also collected 25 tackles for loss. He earned first-
team All-AAA Central Region and first-team All-Richmond Metro honors and was a member of the Super Prep Mid-
Atlantic team as the 22nd-ranked recruit in Virginia.
Conner was given two-star ratings from major recruiting services Rivals.com and Scout.com. Scout ranked him as the
nation’s 67th safety prospect, while Rivals projected him as a running back.
He enrolled at Clemson in 2005 and retained eligibility by redshirting his first year. The 200-pound freshman was active in
the team’s weight training program and added 15 pounds to his frame. The following year, Conner was named the most
improved inside linebacker during spring practice and was the only redshirt freshman listed among the two-deep on either
side of the ball.
He was listed on the depth chart as the immediate backup to senior middle linebacker Anthony Waters, the ACC’s top
returning tackler and a good player to learn from. Conner played in every game but one and collected 27 tackles (15
solos). The highlight of his season came in a 51-0 shutout of Louisiana Tech, when he led the team with eight tackles
(four solos) despite playing just 16 snaps.
As a sophomore Conner continued his development, as he bulked up to a solid 230 pounds and was named the team’s
most improved inside linebacker during spring practice for the second-straight year. He switched to weak-side linebacker
and was the immediate backup to senior Nick Watkins.
Conner started two contests, including the Chick-fil-A Bowl against Auburn, when he registered 11 tackles and was
named the special teams player-of-the-game by the Clemson coaches. He finished with 36 tackles (27 solos), including
1.5 tackles for loss and three pass deflections.

the scene by leading the team with 16 tackles (five solos) in the season-opener against Alabama.

finished the year with 97 tackles (35 solos) including five tackles for loss and one sack, and added three pass deflections
and one interception.
Entering his senior season, Conner gained national recognition by being named to the preseason watch list for the Butkus
Award, which goes annually to college football’s top linebacker. He started 12 of 14 games and collected a career-high

RENNIE CURRAN
Outside/Middle Linebacker
#35
5:10.5-235
Snellville, Georgia
Brookwood High School
OVERVIEW
Curran enjoyed productive seasons in each of his three years with the Bulldogs. Since taking over the weak-side outside
linebacker spot, he has ranked among the team leaders in tackles each game. In his last 26 contests, he posted double
digit tackle totals 11 times.
Curran led the team in tackles in each of the last two seasons, just the 10th Bulldog to accomplish that feat in consecutive
campaigns. He is also the first Georgia player since Greg Bright (143 in 1996, 128 in 1997) to record at least 100 tackles
in back-to-back years.
Even though he left the university after three seasons, Curran ranks 16th in school history with 298 total tackles. His 170
solo stops rank tied for 12th in Georgia annals. 24 of his total tackles came from behind the line of scrimmage, thanks to
his closing burst and good knowledge for taking proper angles into the backfield.
Curran was named to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution Super Southern 100 and Class AAAAA teams as a senior at
Brookwood High School. He added Georgia Sports Writers Association Class AAAAA All-State honor. He was also a
member of Super Prep’s All-American and All-Dixie squads.
The Prep Star All-American was rated the 16th-best linebacker in the nation by Rivals.com. Scout.com rated Curran the
fifth-best middle linebacker in the country and the 11th-best overall player in the state of Georgia. He was named
Gwinnett County Linebacker of the Year as a junior and was a Georgia Athletic Coaches Association All-Star selection. In
addition to his defensive chores, he also saw action at running back.
Curran enrolled at Georgia in 2006 and was immediately thrust into the rotation, sharing weak-side linebacker duties with
Darius Dewberry. He started five of the 13 games he appeared in, coming up with 53 tackles (41 solos) and nine stops for
loss, including three sacks. That performance earned him Freshman All-American honors.
Curran became the full-time starter at weak-side linebacker in 2008. He rewarded the coaching staff’s faith in him by
leading the team and ranking second in the SEC with 115 tackles (63 solos). Ten of those stops came behind the line of
scrimmage, including three sacks. He also caused two fumbles that set up Georgia touchdown drives.
His 115 tackles were the most by a Bulldog since 1998. The Butkus Award finalist was named one of The Sporting News’
20 most indispensable college football players and labeled “the most dominant defensive player in the game.” He received
All-American recognition and was a consensus All-SEC choice.
Curran was named team co-captain in 2009. The Lombardi Award finalist led the team, ranked second in the conference
and placed 18th nationally with a career-high 130 tackles (66 solos) as a senior. He made at least 10 tackles in six
contests and had five stops behind the line of scrimmage, becoming the tenth Bulldog to lead the team in tackles more
than once in a career.

consecutive starts…Ranks 16th in school history with 298 tackles, as his 170 solo hits tied Bill Goldberg (1986-89) and

OVERVIEW
During his Nebraska career, Dillard developed into the perfect compliment playing behind Nebraska’s renowned defensive
front line.
Dillard was one of the nation’s top linebacker prospects after earning Oklahoma all-state honors for two consecutive
seasons at Jenks High School, a Tulsa prep powerhouse. He led his team to a Class 6A state-runner-up finish in 2004,
when he had more than 120 tackles, including 75 solo stops and three sacks, along with seven pass break-ups.
In his final two seasons with the varsity, Dillard totaled more than 200 tackles. He also caught four passes as a senior,
three of which went for touchdowns. In addition to his All-State honors, he was named the Jim Thorpe Association

and Texas A&M, among others. He played in 11 games in 2005, earning his first career start at middle linebacker vs.
Missouri. He finished his first varsity season with 11 tackles (7 solos) and a stop for a loss.
Dillard missed most of the 2007 season after sustaining a knee injury in the season opener. He would return the following
season, starting twice. He managed to record 37 tackles (22 solos) with two pass break-ups.
As a senior, Dillard shifted to weak-side linebacker, earning nine starts, including in each of the team’s final eight games.
He collected a career-best 83 tackles (45 solos), two hits short of the team lead. His average of 6.92 tackles per game
ranked 13th in the league.

OVERVIEW
Edds was a Hawkeye standout from the day he showed up on campus. As a senior, he was part of an Iowa linebacker trio
(Jeremiah Hunter, Pat Angerer and Edds) that combined for 312 tackles.
Edds earned Freshman All-American defensive honors during his first year in the program, going on to start each of his
final 39 games at strong-side linebacker.
Edds was a Prep Star All-American first-team choice as a senior at Greenwood Community High School, adding
honorable mention from Street & Smith. The All-Johnson County Player of the Year was a finalist for Indiana's Mr.

South Team pick and a three-time Associated Press first-team All-State selection.
A four-time first-team All-Conference and two-time team MVP, Edds started all four seasons as a linebacker and long
snapper. He also performed as a tight end in each of his final three seasons, recording 55 catches for 940 yards and 13
touchdowns in his career. He also totaled 390 career tackles and 12 interceptions.
Edds holds school records for tackles in a game (23), solo tackles in a game (17) and in a season (73). He produced 25
receptions for 348 yards and four touchdowns, along with 147 tackles and an interception as a senior. He had 26
receptions for 544 yards and four touchdowns as a junior, as the two-time team captain led the squad to the conference
championships in 2003 and 2005. He also lettered four times in basketball and track.
As a true freshman, Edds appeared in nine games at weak-side linebacker, starting vs. Purdue. He totaled nine tackles
with a forced fumble. Shifting to strong-side linebacker the following year, he would go on to start 38 games for the
Hawkeyes at that position throughout the rest of his career.
He received Academic All-Big Ten Conference honors in 2007, as he collected 80 tacklers (29 solos), second-best on the
team. He also began a string of three consecutive years of serving on the team’s Leadership Group.
Edds was named All-Big Ten honorable mention as a junior. He totaled 59 tackles with a pair of sacks and two fumble
recoveries. He also picked off a pass and recorded a safety on one of his 4.5 stops for loss.
As a senior, Edds was selected second-team All-Big Ten and named a team captain. He ranked fourth on the team with
78 tackles (28 solos) that included 4.5 stops behind the line of scrimmage. He deflected four passes and his five
interceptions ranked tied for fourth-best in the conference and 32nd in the nation.

THADDEUS GIBSON
Outside Linebacker/Defensive End
The Ohio State University Buckeyes
#90
6:02.0-243
Euclid, Ohio
Euclid High School
OVERVIEW
Gibson and Cameron Heyward formed a formidable tandem that helped keep the Buckeyes in contention for the national
championship. They both elevated their games in 2009, as Ohio State improved from their 18th-place ranking vs. the run
in 2008 (110.23 ypg) to seventh last season (90.77 ypg), showing an ability to excel in both run and pass situations.
With the 3-4 defensive alignment becoming increasingly popular in the NFL, Gibson could make a smooth transition back
to his original position, as he was recruited to play linebacker and competed as a reserve on the outside during his
freshman campaign. His range and foot speed saw him not only make 13 stops behind the line of scrimmage in 2009, but
he held opponents trying to run into his area to an average of 1.3 yards per carry last season.
Gibson was a coveted pass rusher coming out of Euclid High School, where he was twice named All-Ohio and to the
Cleveland Plain Dealer “Best of the Best” all-star team. The Big 33 Game selection was also named the Cleveland
Touchdown Club’s 2005 Defensive Player of the Year.
As a senior, Gibson registered 39 total tackles, 10 quarterback sacks and eight stops behind the line of scrimmage, as he
also totaled 24 quarterback pressures. He posted 50 tackles, 17 sacks, 22 pressures and two interceptions as a junior. He
also excelled as a forward on the school’s basketball team.
After contributing on the scout team in 2005, Gibson began to show flashes in limited playing time during the 2006
season. He played in nine contests as a reserve outside linebacker, finishing with 11 tackles (8 solos), collecting his first
career sack vs. Wisconsin. He also had three stops for loss and a forced fumble.
During the 2008 off-season, Gibson bulked up from 228 to 240 pounds for a move to the defensive line. When injuries hit
the front wall early in the year, he was inserted into the lineup at right defensive end, with Cameron Heyward shifting
inside to tackle.
Heyward commanded double team action, freeing Gibson to register five sacks and nine stops behind the line of
scrimmage. He posted 26 tackles and showed off his sudden burst when he scooped up a fumble and raced 69 yards for
a touchdown in the Michigan State clash.
Heyward moved back to right defensive end in 2009, with Gibson shifting to the left side. The junior received All-Big Ten
Conference honors, as he totaled 13 stops for loss that included four sacks. He tallied 45 tackles, picked off a pass and
caused a pair of fumbles while recovering two others.
CAREER NOTES
Gibson started 23 of 35 games at Ohio State – 13 at left defensive end and 10 on the right side…Finished his career with
82 tackles (49 solos), ten sacks for minus 55 yards and 25.0 stops for losses totaling 86 yards…His 13 stops behind the
line of scrimmage in 2009 tied for 24th on the school season-record list with several others, most recently by All-American
linebacker A.J. Hawk (2003)…Also caused five fumbles and recovered three others, returning one 69 yards for a
touchdown…Deflected four passes and gained five yards on one interception return.

carriers at the line of scrimmage for no gain on five other attempts…In 46 running plays he was involved in, those runners
managed just 60 yards (1.30 ypc) and five first downs, as he delivered eight third-down stops vs. the ground attack and
three more in passing situations.
2008 SEASON
Gibson was named to The NFL Draft Report’s Sophomore All-American second-team…Recipient of the Agonis/Rick
Meyer Award from the Ohio State coaching staff…Started the final 10 games at right defensive end, helping the team rank

BRANDON GRAHAM
University of Michigan Wolverines
#55
6:01.3-268
Detroit, Michigan
Crockett Vocation Technical High School
OVERVIEW
Graham is well-suited to make the transition from collegiate down lineman to a professional linebacker. He also
volunteered to join the kick coverage unit as a senior, highlighting his versatility. He blocked two punts and recovered
another for a touchdown in 2009. At a school with a tremendous history for producing elite talent, Graham was the first
Michigan defensive player to ever be voted Bo Schembechler Most Valuable Player twice (2008-09). The previous two-
time MVPs are running back Mike Hart (2006-07), wide receiver Anthony Carter (1980, 1982), running back Ron Johnson
(1968-69), running back Tom Harmon (1939-1940) and guard Ralph Heikkinen (1937-38).
He shared 2009 Chicago Tribune Silver Football as the Big Ten Conference’s Most Valuable Player with Penn State
quarterback Daryll Clark. Graham closed out his career ranked second in school history in forced fumbles (eight),
evidence that he not only gets to the quarterback or running back, but makes things happen when he does. His 29.5
sacks and 56.0 tackles behind the line of scrimmage also rank second in school annals. In 46 games at Michigan, he has
accounted for 40.56 percent of his tackles coming behind the line of scrimmage.
Graham attended Crockett Vocation Technical High School, where he led the school to its first Detroit Public School
League title as a junior and a semi-final appearance in the Division IV playoffs. The four-year starter earned Parade, EA
Sports and USA Today All-American first-team honors as a senior. He was rated the 14th-best player in the nation by
USA Today and Prep Football Report. He was selected Michigan Gatorade Player of the Year and was a member of the
Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s National Top 25 squad.
The Detroit News rated Graham the state’s best blue chip prospect in 2005, as the Detroit Free Press rated him second in
the Midwest region. He received a five-star prospect rating from Prep Football Report and Rivals.com, while Prep Star
ranked him third among the nation’s linebackers. He also earned Detroit News first-team All-Metro and first-team Class B
All-State honors as a junior.
Graham recorded 307 tackles, including 112 for loss and 56 sacks during his career. He also collected 16 fumble
recoveries, forced six more and grabbed two interceptions in four years at Crockett. He averaged more than 40 yards per
attempt as a punter. He totaled 98 tackles, 47 tackles for loss, 11 sacks, two interceptions and forced six fumbles.
As a junior, Graham posted 20 sacks and 10 fumble recoveries. He became the first player from the state of Michigan to
play in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl. Elected captain of the East squad for the U.S. Army game, he collected four
tackles and one blocked field goal. In addition to football, Graham participated in basketball while also throwing the shot
put in track, logging a career-best toss of 50-0. He also ran a 10.9 in the 100 meters along with a 23.5 in the 200.
Graham appeared in 10 games during the 2005 season for Michigan. He saw time at defensive end vs. Vanderbilt, but
then moved inside to shore up depth issues at tackle and nose guard. He finished the year with three tackles, assisting on
a sack and causing one fumble.

JERRY HUGHES
Texas Christian University Horned Frogs
#98
6:01.6-255
Sugarland, Texas
Stephen F. Austin High School
OVERVIEW
The former prep running back took over left defensive end duties in 2008. In two seasons in the lineup, he established
himself as one of the premier pass rushers in the collegiate ranks. During his final 26 games, he led the nation with a total
of 26.5 quarterback sacks, adding 36.0 tackles behind the line of scrimmage.
During the course of those two seasons Hughes registered multiple-sack performances in eight contests. However, there
is more to the rush end’s game than getting to the passer. He also excelled in run support, as the Horned Frogs led the
nation in 2008 and ranked third in the NCAA in 2009 in rush defense. During those 26 games, opponents managed to
gain 100 yards on the ground vs. the Horned Frogs just seven times.
Rated a two-star prospect by Rivals.com, Hughes was a unanimous first-team All-District 20-5A selection at running back
as a senior, adding honorable mention Class 5A All-State accolades at Stephen F. Austin High School. That season, he
rushed for 1,412 yards and 19 touchdowns and totaled 215 yards receiving with three additional scores.
Hughes was also a first-team All-District pick as a kick returner. He was named to the Herald Coaster All-Area team and
was a second-team Greater Houston Class 5-A All Area pick. He was named Offensive Finalist of the Year by the
Touchdown Club of Greater Houston and selected as the team’s Offensive Most Valuable Player as well as garnering the
Offensive Back-Receiver Award his senior year. Hughes was also voted the Most Athletic in his senior class.
One of four true freshman to see action for the Horned Frogs in 2006, he was listed third on the depth chart at left
defensive end. He posted three tackles (two solos) that included a 9-yard sack vs. Army while appearing in ten games.
Hughes continued to play behind Chase Ortiz at left defensive end in 2007. He did get to start the New Mexico clash,
making 29 tackles (17 solos) with a sack and 3.5 stops for loss. He also intercepted a pass in the Wyoming contest.
Hughes arrived in 2008 fall drills with 20 pounds of muscle, now weighing 248. He secured a starting position at left end
and quickly established himself among the NCAA’s elite, leading the nation with 15.0 sacks while ranking 11th in the
country with 19.5 stops behind the line of scrimmage. The consensus All-American and Bronko Nagurski Award and Ted
Hendricks Award finalist finished fifth on the squad with 52 tackles, returning one of his two interceptions for a touchdown.
In 2009, he was again named All-American and All-Mountain West Conference first-team. The recipient of the Hendricks
Award and Lott Trophy ranked ninth in the nation with 11.5 sacks. He placed third in the MWC with a team-leading 16.5
stops for loss. He also totaled 58 tackles (32 solos) and seven pressures while causing two fumbles.

JOSH HULL
Middle Linebacker
#43
6:02.6-237
Millheim, Pennsylvania
Penns Valley High School
OVERVIEW
A former walk-on, Hull has proven to be a reliable middle linebacker the last two years. The local product from nearby
Penns Valley High School, not even Hull envisioned the way his career would come to an end. Hoping for an opportunity
to just contribute in some way to the program, he finished second on the team in tackles as a junior and followed up that
display by leading the nation’s ninth-ranked defense in tackles during his final campaign.
Through hard work, intelligence and dedication, Hull earned a scholarship as a junior. He paid back his Joe Paterno’s faith
in him by producing 191 tackles, three quarterback sacks, 14 stops for loss and three interceptions since taking over at
middle linebacker in 2008. Hull formed one of the best linebacker units in college football, along with fellow starters Sean
Lee and Navorro Bowman. That trio registered 295 tackles, 26.5 stops behind the line of scrimmage and five interceptions
combined in 2009. Their success vs. the ground game saw Penn State finished sixth in the nation vs. the run, allowing
just 89.85 yards per game.
The middle linebacker has not only succeeded on the field, but has also excelled in the classroom. One of the team's
premier students, Hull also was selected a first-team ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American, one of a program-
record four Nittany Lions so honored in 2008. He also became just the seventh Nittany Lion to earn first-team Academic
All-American honors twice, when he was chosen again in 2009.
Hull compiled a superlative 3.92 grade-point average during the 2008 fall semester for Dean's List accolades and had a
3.54 cumulative average by the time he graduated in December, 2009.
In the spring of 2008, Hull and punter Jeremy Boone were named co-recipients of the team's Frank Patrick Total
Commitment Award. The award goes to junior class squad members who consistently follow through with their
responsibilities in all facets of the football program and do so in an exemplary manner. This includes academic pursuits,
off-season preparation, in-season commitment, demeanor and community service.
To cap a stellar 2008-09 academic year for Hull, he was the recipient of the Eric A. Walker Award, presented annually to
the Penn State student who has contributed most to enhancing the reputation of the University through extracurricular
activities. Walker was president of Penn State from 1956-1970.
The tough, intense and instinctive Hull attacks his conditioning sessions and practice with the same passion and
determination he brings to game-day. One of the squad's most active members in community service, Hull also enjoyed
having his younger brother, Ethan, join him on the Penn State squad as the redshirt offensive lineman.
Hull was a standout linebacker and fullback for at nearby Penns Valley High School. He was a three-year starter, serving
as team captain and defensive captain as a senior. He was selected first-team All-Conference on defense after his senior
season and was a team captain in the 2006 Lezzer Lumber Classic. He also was a three-year letterman on the baseball
team, earning first-team All-Conference accolades as an outfielder.
Hull, red-shirted after enrolling at Penn State during the 2005 season. He saw action mostly on special teams in 2006,
recording seven tackles (5 solos) while appearing in 13 games. He logged 166 plays that year, most by the special team
performers. As a sophomore, Hull participated in 292 defensive snaps as a reserve middle linebacker. He produced 18
tackles (6 solos) with an assisted stop for a loss and also broke up a pass.
The Academic All-American took over middle linebacker chores in 2008. He finished second on the team with 75 tackles
(41 solos) for a unit decimated by graduation departures and injuries. He recovered two fumbles, deflected three passes
and picked off another during 13 starts that encompassed 751 defensive snaps. He also captured All-Big Ten Conference
recognition.
Hull continued his progress as a senior, as the All-Big Ten second-team pick had to deal with injuries that cost his starting
mates, Sean Lee and Navorro Bowman several games out of the lineup. The young sophomore replacements leaned
heavily on Hull for leadership. He did not disappoint. He led the team with a career-high 116 tackles, ranking fifth in the
conference with an average of 8.92 hits per game. He registered 8.5 stops for loss, along with a pair of sacks and

SERGIO KINDLE
Outside Linebacker/Rush End
#2
6:02.7-250
Dallas, Texas
Woodrow Wilson High School
OVERVIEW
Kindle arrived on campus with tremendous fanfare, as he was the prized recruit in the 2006 class. Among his best
attributes is his versatility, as he bounced back and forth between strong-side outside linebacker and the rush end position
during his time with the Longhorns. That versatility also saw him become the first NCAA player to ever be named a finalist
for the Ted Hendricks Award (nation’s top defensive end) and the Dick Butkus Award (top college linebacker). An added
bonus is his strong desire to play on the special teams.
Born in Los Angeles, Kindle moved to Texas shortly after he was born. He attended Woodrow Wilson High School, where
he earned Parade All-American honors and was a Parade Player of the Year finalist. He was also named the Parade AFL
Ironman (best two-way player nationally), adding the Old Spice Red Zone National Player of the Year Award to his
resume. He earned first-team All-American recognition from USA Today and was the only Texas player to earn All-State
honors on both offense and defense as a senior.
Kindle recorded 411 tackles and 55 stops behind the line of scrimmage as a linebacker, as he also competed as a running
back, rushing for 5,632 yards and 86 touchdowns over his final three seasons. He was the starting center on the
basketball team and also lettered in track, running in the 400m, 4x400-meter relay while also competing in the long jump.
Kindle graduated early and arrived on the university campus prior to 2006 spring drills. He took over the second spot on
the depth chart at strong-side outside linebacker and went on to play in 11 games as a reserve, posting 19 tackles (12
solos) with two stops for loss. He also excelled on special teams, recording eight tackles in that capacity.
He contributed as a reserve strong-side linebacker in eight games in 2007. He produced 29 tackles (19 solos), assisted
on a sack and had four stops behind the line of scrimmage. He also continued his stellar special team performances,
posting six tackles for the coverage unit.
In 2008, Kindle was a consensus All-Big Twelve first-team selection. He started 11 games - nine at strong-side linebacker
and the Baylor and Kansas clashes at defensive end. He recorded 45 tackles (36 solos), as he ranked third in the
conference and 21st nationally with 10.0 sacks. He also delivered 12.5 stops for loss, recovered two fumbles and
recovered another.
Kindle returned to the university for his final season, eager to show what he could do playing closer to the ball on the
defensive line. Taking over for Brian Orakpo at defensive end, he became the first player to be named a finalist for the
Butkus (nation's top linebacker) and Hendricks Awards (nation's top defensive end). A first-team All-American selection by
The Sporting News, he produced 58 tackles (39 solos) with six sacks, leading the team with 15.0 stops behind the line of
scrimmage while starting all 14 contests.

SEAN LEE
Middle/Outside Linebacker
#45
6:02.1-236
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Upper St. Clair High School
OVERVIEW
One of the most versatile Nittany Lions, Lee has experience at all three linebacker positions, but his leadership is also
another great asset.
From teaming with Paul Posluszny and Tim Shaw as a freshman while playing left outside linebacker, to dominating the
trenches with Dan Connor while lining up at middle line-backer as a sophomore, then shifting back outside to man the
right linebacker position as a junior, one thing was evident – Lee was the hardest hitter on the team.
His return to the lineup in 2009, this time as a left outside linebacker, saw him team up with Josh Hull and Navorro
Bowman to give Penn State three defenders that all ranked in the top seven players for tackles-per-game in the Big Ten
Conference. That trio combined for 295 tackles for a Nittany Lions squad that ranked sixth in the nation vs. the run (89.95
ypg), ninth in total defense (274.46 ypg) and third in scoring defense (12.23 ppg) in Lee’s final season.
A focused competitor, Lee is a playmaker who brings tremendous desire and tenacity to every snap. He is one of the
squad’s most personable and service-oriented members, participating in the THON Make-A-Wish program, student-
athlete reading program, Habitat for Humanity and the Pennsylvania Special Olympics State Summer Games, in addition
to other community service activities.
Before arriving at a school known for its renowned linebacker corps, Lee was the latest in a long line of outstanding
players who have played for head coach Jim Render at Upper St. Clair High School. A first-team Associated Press Class
AAAA All-State selection, Lee was the 2005 Pittsburgh Post-Gazette High School Male Athlete-of-the-Year and was
honored at the prestigious Dapper Dan Dinner in 2006.
He also was named to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review Terrific 25 and played in the 2005 Big 33 Classic vs. Ohio. His team
combined to go 31-4 during his three years as a starter, including 11-1 as a senior. The safety and tailback ran for 1,240
yards and 21 touchdowns on 187 carries for a superlative 6.6 average and posted 95 tackles and four interceptions during
his senior season. He made 23 tackles and returned a punt 75 yards for a touchdown in a Western Pennsylvania district
AAAA semifinal game vs. Pittsburgh Central Catholic that season.
The outstanding athlete also excelled on the basketball floor, leading the Panthers to a 75-12 record in three seasons as a
starter. During his senior year, he averaged 21.2 points, 9.1 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game to lead his team to the
Western Pennsylvania district AAAA title. He is one of a select few athletes in the past 25 years to be named to the Post-
Gazette Fabulous 22 football team and the Fabulous Five basketball team. An outstanding student, he graduated from
Upper St. Clair with a 3.70 grade-point average.
Upon his arrival at Penn State in 2005, the coaching staff couldn't keep the talented Lee off the field, as he excelled on
special teams while understudying behind Paul Posluszny at left outside linebacker in 2005. A member of the Dean’s List,
he registered eleven tackles (6 solos) as a true freshman.
The Academic All-Big Ten Conference selection took over middle linebacker chores in 2006. Lee was instrumental in
helping the Penn State defense rank in the top 15 nationally in rushing (87.5 ypg, seventh), scoring defense (14.4 ppg,
ninth), total defense (284.5 ypg, 15th), pass efficiency defense (105.9 rating, 14th) and sacks (40, sixth tie). He recorded
90 tackles, good for third on the squad, with eight stops for loss, 5.5 sacks, two fumble recoveries, two forced fumbles,
one interception and two pass break-ups.
Lee had a tremendous junior season in 2007, ranking second in the Big Ten Conference with 138 tackles, trailing only
teammate Dan Connor, and giving Penn State just its third pair of century-busting tacklers since records began being kept
in 1969. He was selected a first-team All-American by Pro Football Weekly and earned second-team All-Conference
honors in a league that featured two of the three finalists for the Butkus Award and the winner of the Bednarik Award.
Lee's 138 tackles rank fifth on the school season list and he recorded double-figures in tackles in 10 of the last 11 games.
He also recorded 10.5 tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks, forced three fumbles, recovered three fumbles and grabbed one
interception. He also was second on the team with eight pass breakups. He was tied for first in the Big Ten in fumble
recoveries and was tied for seventh in the conference in forced fumbles.
Lee injured his knee in spring drills and took a medical redshirt season in 2008. His teammates honored the leadership
and direction he had provided by selecting him an honorary captain at the conclusion of spring practice.
Lee returned to the gridiron at left outside linebacker in 2009, earning All-Big Ten second-team honors. The Butkus Award
semifinalist finished third on the team with 86 tackles. He added two sacks among his 11.0 stops for loss and deflected
seven passes while picking off another. He owned a 3.09 grade-point average in finance and the three-time Academic All-
Big Ten Conference honoree graduated from Penn State in December, 2009.

ROLANDO MC CLAIN
Middle Linebacker
#25
6:03.3-254
Decatur, Alabama
Decatur High School
OVERVIEW
The grand prize from head coach Nick Saban’s first recruiting class at Alabama, McClain rapidly developed into one of the
premier players in the collegiate ranks. Looking to rebuild the program around a strong defense, the middle linebacker
played a vital role in the team’s progression from also-ran to national champion.
The defensive signal-caller has the power and downhill ability to excel in stuffing the inside run. He also has the balance,
speed and pursuit quickness to string plays wide. Before his arrival, the Tide ranked 46th in the nation vs. the run in 2006.
During his freshman campaign, McClain helped Alabama finish 28th against the run (124.15 ypg). The front seven
continued to improve, as the defense ranked second vs. the run in both 2008 (74.14 ypg) and 2009 (77.92 ypg).
While most college middle linebackers are a bit deficient in pass coverage, this was not the case with McClain. His loose
hips, ability to stay on the hip of the receiver and refusal to bite on play action make McClain a strong pass defender.
McClain was regarded by many to be the top linebacker in the nation during his days at Decatur High School. Rivals.com
ranked him 25th overall in the prep ranks and the top player in the state of Alabama. He ranked 10th nationally by
Scout.com and was the top-rated linebacker on the Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Top 100 list.
McClain was an Orlando Sentinel 2006 All-Southern team member, earning Parade All-American honors in his final
season. He also received All-Region VIII honors as a line-backer and All-State accolades on defense and as a tight end.
After his senior season, he competed in the Offense-Defense All-American Bowl.
In 2006, McClain recorded 106 tackles, including 13 stops for loss. He posted 104 tackles, 11 stops behind the line of
scrimmage, four sacks, an interception, three forced fumbles and one fumble recovery as a junior. He had 24 catches for
436 yards in his junior season and also started on the basketball team.
McClain made a big impact during his first season at Alabama. He was a first-team Fresh-man All-American pick by The
Sporting News and a first-team Freshman All-Southeastern Conference choice by the league’s coaches. He was also the
recipient of the team’s Lee Roy Jordan Headhunter Award in 2007.
That season he started nine of the 13 games he appeared in. McClain finished fourth on the team with 75 tackles (38
solos) that included a sack, five stops for loss and a pressure. He also broke up four passes and had two interceptions.
In 2008, McClain not only established himself as one of the leaders on Alabama's defense as a sophomore, but as one of
the best linebackers in the country. A finalist for the Butkus Award, awarded to the nation’s top linebacker, he was a third-
team All-American pick by The NFL Draft Report and the Associated Press.
The consensus All-SEC first-team selection started all 14 games, leading the team with 95 tackles (48 solos) while being
the focal point of opponent's blocking schemes. He ranked 12th in the league with 6.79 tackles per game, recording 12.0
stops for loss that included three sacks. The Lombardi Award Watch List member deflected six passes, picked off another
and recovered two fumbles.
The consensus All-American and All-SEC pick was a semifinalist for the Lombardi Award, Butkus Award and Bednarik
Award. He became the second Tide player and third SEC member to capture the Butkus Award, given to the nation’s top
linebacker. He also earned team Player of the Week honors nine times.
McClain anchored a deep and talented linebacker corps that helped the Crimson Tide rank fourth nationally in total
defense (242.22 ypg) and second in rush defense (68.22). He led the team with 105 tackles, adding four sacks while
placing eighth in the conference while leading the Tide with 14.5 stops for loss. He also broke up four passes and
intercepted two others.
Shortly after Alabama defeated Texas to capture the national championship, McClain announced that he was leaving the
school and applying for the 2010 NFL Draft. “Rolando McClain has been as great an ambassador for the University of
Alabama probably as anyone ever has in terms of how he’s represented himself, his family, the university, the state of
Alabama and our team,” coach Nick Saban said.
“That’s not only in terms of being a great football player – probably the best defensive football player in the country, in my
opinion, or one of them, and certainly at his position – but he always did things right. He’s done a great job academically.
His leadership had as much impact.”

RICO MC COY
Outside Linebacker

5:11-3-224
Washington, D.C.
St. John’s College High School
OVERVIEW
McCoy took over as a starter at weak-side linebacker in 2006 and he has been one of the team’s featured players ever
since. With his combination of speed and strength, he has been a dominant force for Tennessee’s defense. He also
proved to be an outstanding kickoff and punt coverage unit gunner during his first season with the varsity in 2006.
The arrival of the Kiffin Family at Tennessee, though it was for only one year, saw McCoy flourish. McCoy not only led the
team in tackles, but he also ranked third in the SEC with an average of 9.15 hits per game in 2009. He also played more
aggressively inside the box, ranking 10th in the nation with five fumbles caused.
At St. John’s College High School, McCoy earned first-team All-American honors from Riddell, adding USA Today
second-team All-USA recognition as a senior linebacker. He was selected the captain of the East Squad at the U.S. Army
All-American Bowl and was a two-time All-Metropolitan choice. In 2004, he was selected the Gatorade Player of the Year
for the District of Columbia.
McCoy started at linebacker during his final two varsity seasons. He recorded 118 tackles, seven sacks, eight stops
behind the line of scrimmage, three forced fumbles and two interceptions while adding eight rushing touchdowns as a
running back during his senior season. His best performance came when he totaled 16 tackles and ran for a pair of
touchdowns to spark a win over rival Gonzaga College High School that year. As junior, he finished with 120 tackles and
five sacks, while competing as a tailback during his sophomore season.
McCoy was heavily recruited out of high school, enrolling at Tennessee in 2005. He spent that season on the scout team,
adding more than 10 pounds of muscle to his 210-pound frame. The following season, he was a standout gunner on the
special teams coverage units until replacing an injured Jerod Mayo at weak-side linebacker for the final three games. He
recorded 38 tackles (27 solos) with three stops for losses, as he batted away a pass and caused two fumbles on defense.
He added seven tackles (6 solos) on the coverage squads.
In 2007, McCoy took over weak-side linebacker duties, with Jerod Mayo shifting to middle linebacker. He ranked second
on the team with 107 tackles (58 solos), the most by a Tennessee weak-side linebacker since 1991. He had 5.5 stops
behind the line of scrimmage and a forced fumble. He also intercepted a pass and deflected four others.
During the 2008 campaign, McCoy led a spirited defensive squad, finishing second on the team with 87 tackles (38 solos),
as he made 3.5 stops for loss and broke up three passes while earning All-SEC second-team honors.
McCoy excelled in the team’s “Cover-2” defense in 2009. He was again named All-SEC second-team, as he led the team
and ranked third in the conference with a career-best 119 tackles (72 solos). He deflected five passes and ranked 10th in
the nation with five forced fumbles. His pass coverage skills helped the Vols rank 12th in the nation vs. the aerial game,
allowing just 169.23 yards per game.

MICHAEL MC LAUGHLIN
Middle Linebacker/Long Snapper
Boston College Eagles
#34
6:00.7-247
Woburn, Massachusetts
Woburn Memorial High School
OVERVIEW
The heart and soul of the Eagles’ defense, McLaughlin was a leader and two-time team captain at BC. Since stepping into
the starting lineup for three games in 2007, McLaughlin established himself as one of the premier middle linebackers in
the NCAA. In 25 starting assignments, he allowed just four opposing ball carriers to gain over 10 yards on a rushing
attempt, as his 106 stops vs. the ground game included 19 tackles for loss, 14 stops at the line of scrimmage for no gain,
no touchdown runs allowed, and 23 tackles inside the red zone, including seven on goalline stops.
In pass defense, McLaughlin held opponents to zero touchdown receptions among the 113 pass plays to his coverage
area. He jammed/rerouted receivers away from 43 pass attempts, as he also defended eight other throws (one
interception, seven deflections). He has held the opposition to just 4.57 yards per pass attempt, the lowest figure of any
“front seven” (defensive line/linebacker) performer in the ACC.
As a starter, he has registered 45 third-down stops (11 vs. the run, 34 vs. the pass), along with 12 fourth-down hits (five
vs. the run, seven vs. the pass). He also excelled on special teams during his Boston College career, registering 20
tackles (15 solos) for the kickoff coverage squad during his first three seasons.
At Woburn Memorial High School, McLaughlin was a standout linebacker and fullback. The three-time All-Middlesex
League selection was also named the league’s MVP in his junior and senior campaigns. He was a member of the
Rivals.com Massachusetts Top 10 and New England Farrell Fourteen (rated third on that squad) teams, earning a three-
star prospect rating from that recruiting service.
Rivals rated McLaughlin as the state’s third-best overall prospect and the nation’s 27th-best linebacker. He was selected
to the 2005 “Super 26” All-State team by the Gridiron Club of Greater Boston, in addition to earning 2004 All-Scholastic
honors from both the Boston Globe and Boston Herald.
McLaughlin closed out his career as the school’s all-time leading scorer. He gained over 2,500 yards rushing with 49
touchdowns and registered over 350 tackles during his career. As a senior, he totaled 22 touchdowns behind 1,005 yards
on the ground and also recorded 75 tackles that included four sacks, 10 stops for loss and an interception. In his junior
season, he rushed for 950 yards and 20 scores, as he also delivered 95 tackles with eleven stops behind the line of
scrimmage and five fumble recoveries for the Black and Orange. He also lettered on the Tanners’ basketball team.
With those lofty statistics, McLaughlin was recruited heavily and accepted a scholarship to Boston College. He spent the
2005 season performing on the scout team. The following season, he appeared in nine games. He was a valuable
performer on the kickoff coverage squad. He finished his first varsity season with 12 tackles (seven solos).
McLaughlin shifted to middle linebacker for his sophomore season, playing behind Jo-Lonn Dunbar before the starter was
injured later in the season. He replaced the defensive captain on the first unit vs. Florida State, going on to start the next
three contests. He totaled 64 tackles (41 solos) with five stops behind the line of scrimmage and a pass break-up. As a
starter, he delivered 33 tackles with four stops for loss, as four of those hits came on third-down plays.
McLaughlin took over middle linebacker duties full-time in 2008. He earned All-ACC second-team honors from The NFL
Draft Report, as he finished second on the team with 89 tackles (53 solos) that included a quartet of sacks and 13 stops
behind the line of scrimmage. Continuing to establish himself as a game-changing defender, he was responsible for killing
34 scoring drives, as he delivered 27 of those hits on third-down snaps and seven more on fourth-down plays.
In nine games in 2009, the team captain delivered 56 tackles (27 solos) with three QB pressures. Fourteen of his tackles
came on third-down plays and another five came on crucial fourth-down running plays.
CAREER NOTES
McLaughlin started 26 of 45 games at Boston College, recording 221 tackles (128 solos) with four sacks for minus 23
yards, 20.5 stops for losses of 53 yards and seven pressures, causing four interceptions from those hurries, as he also
forced two fumbles, deflected seven passes and intercepted another for a 36-yard return…As a starter, the two-time team
captain has made 113 plays vs. the run, holding the opposition to 293 yards (2.59 ypc) with no touchdowns allowed, as he
stopped ball carriers 20 times for loss and 15 other times at the line of scrimmage for no gain, delivering 11 third-down
tackles and five more on fourth-down plays, in addition to registering 24 hits inside the red zone vs. the rushing attack,

KOA MISI
University of Utah Utes
#41
6:02.5-251
Santa Rosa, California
Santa Rosa Junior College
Montgomery High School
OVERVIEW
Misi is may be the most talented athlete to ever perform at Utah. NFL teams coveting “tweeners” to play in the newly-
popular 3-4 defensive alignment may be able to utilize his blend of quickness, agility and power.
Misi was a free-ranging, game-changing linebacker at Montgomery High School, where he twice earned All-Conference
honors, in addition to being named the league’s Defensive Player of the Year as a senior. That season, he helped the
team compile a 13-0 record and win the league title. The honor roll student also lettered in baseball and basketball.
In the fall of 2005, Misi enrolled at Santa Rosa Junior College as a student, but did not play football. He joined the Santa
Rosa College squad in 2006, going on to earn All-Northern California Conference first-team honors as a defensive end.
Armed with an associate’s degree in Sociology, Misi enrolled at Utah the following season, accepting a football
scholarship.
Coaches like Utah’s Kyle Whittingham who wants to go undefeated in Division I, don’t offer slackers scholarships, much
less start them. Misi became a fixture on the defensive line soon after arriving at the university. Based on his
performances during his three seasons at Utah, he has erased any doubt of his commitment to football.
In his first season at Utah, Misi came off the bench for the first two games, but with two solid relief performances, the 260-
pounder was asked to fill in at nose guard for a pair of contests. He totaled 14 tackles with two sacks combined vs. UCLA
and Nevada-Las Vegas.
The coaches then shifted him to left defensive tackle for the final nine games on the 2007 schedule. He finished third on
the team with 67 tackles (29 solos). He also posted 2.5 sacks and ranked among the Mountain West Conference leaders
with eight stops behind the line of scrimmage. In the New Mexico clash, he scooped up a fumble and showed off his
speed by returning the ball 28 yards for a touchdown.
In 2008, Misi shifted to left defensive end, teaming with Paul Kruger to give the Utes the most dominant defensive end
tandem in the MWC. He earned second-team All-Mountain West Conference honors and was an Academic All-MWC
choice. He shifted inside to defensive tackle vs. San Diego State, placing third on the team with 68 tackles (31 solos),
adding three sacks, 8.5 stops for loss, three forced fumbles and six pass deflections.
In 2009 fall camp, Misi was shifted to right defensive end, a position more suited to his style of play. He started 12 games
and wound up leading all defensive linemen in the MWC with 71 tackles (34 solos) that included five sacks, 9.5 stops
behind the line of scrimmage and three forced fumbles. That performance earned him first-team All-MWC honors and an
invitation to the Senior Bowl.

ARTHUR MOATS
James Madison University Dukes
#52
6:00.2-246
Portsmouth, Virginia
Churchland High School
OVERVIEW
Moats was the recipient of the 2009 Buck Buchanan Award, which is awarded annually to the top defender in the NCAA
Football Championship Subdivision. The consensus All-American has been a standout for JMU since he moved into the
starting lineup in the second half of his sophomore campaign.
“We’ve never had anyone draw the attention that Arthur Moats has drawn this season,” said JMU coach Mickey
Matthews. “We’ve had some great defensive players here, but Arthur is as good as anyone we've had.”
Moats’ development as a pass rusher resulted from his strength, explosion and field vision. With his quickness and range,
he may move to outside linebacker at the NFL level. Changing positions should be no problems for the talented JMU
player. He began his college career as a 220-pound left defensive end, moved to the right side the next year and then
back to left end as a 250-pounder in his final season. He ranks seventh in tackles for loss and fourth in sacks among
active FCS players. After finishing sixth in the nation in sacks as a sophomore, he ranked second as a junior before
leading the nation in 2009.
For the Dukes, Moats finished as the school’s second-ranked pass rusher with 29.0 quarterback sacks, the most ever by
a Colonial Athletic Association player. That total also ranks 10th on the NCAA FCS all-time chart. His 11.5 sacks in 2008
tied for second and his 11.0 sacks in 2009 tied for fourth on the Dukes annual record chart.
Moats is much more that just a pass rusher. His 48.5 tackles behind the line of scrimmage rank second in the conference
and 18th in the NCAA FCS career record list. His 23.5 stops for loss in 2009 set the school annual record. He has used
his leaping ability to block two kicks and his foot speed was evident when he recovered two fumbles and converted them
into long touchdown returns.
At Churchland High School, Moats earned team MVP honors as a senior. He was a first-team All-District and All-
Tidewater choice, adding second-team All-State recognition as a defensive end. He was also an All-District pick as a
sophomore and junior, along with garnering All-Tidewater honors in 2004. Moats was the district champion in wrestling
and competed in the shot put for the track team.
In 2006, Moats played in 12 games behind Kevin Winston at left defensive end. In his first season at JMU, he totaled 18
tackles (11 solos) with two stops for loss. He also scored on a 22-yard return of a fumble recovery vs. Delaware.
Moats moved into the starting lineup at right defensive end midway through his sophomore season. With five starting
assignments under his belt, he ranked tied for sixth in the league with 6.5 sacks, which tied for the team lead. He posted
45 tackles (26 solos), finishing third on the squad with 7.5 behind the line of scrimmage.
As a junior, Moats was named All-Colonial Athletic Association third-team. He started all but the William & Mary contest at
right defensive end. He led the team in tackles for loss (15.5) and ranked ninth in the nation in sacks (11.5). He placed
fourth on the Dukes with 65 tackles (25 solos) and also caused three fumbles.
In 2009, Moats was a consensus All-American first-team selection. He led the nation with 23.5 tackles for loss, a school
season-record. He led the CAA and finished third nationally with 11.0 sacks. He also led the team with a career-high 90
tackles, the seventh-best total in the CAA. The defensive end also blocked two kicks and scooped up a fumble, as he
returned the turnover 68 yards for a touchdown in his final college game, vs. Towson.

RODDRICK MUCKELROY
Outside Linebacker
#38
6:01.6-246
Hallsville, Texas
Hallsville High School
OVERVIEW
Muckelroy is a student of the game, one who breaks down game films, spots tendencies of the opposition and serves as a
coach on the field while also mentoring his younger teammates.
Muckelroy's work ethic has helped him become one of the Longhorns’ defensive leaders. His ability to play any of the
three linebacker positions has proven to be invaluable. Most of his starting experience came at the weak-side linebacker
position, but when 2009 fall camp injuries depleted the depth at middle linebacker, he made a seamless transition moving
inside, going on to earn All-Big Twelve Conference honors for the second time as a starter.
Muckelroy is also part of a group of Longhorns that regularly visits patients at the Dell Children's Medical Center. He was
on hand when some of those patients were able to visit the Texas Football facilities. He helped deliver a team donation of
food items to SafePlace, a shelter for victims of domestic violence this Thanksgiving. He participated in events such as
visits to UT's facilities by the Wonders and Worries program and the Arc of the Capital Area. The linebacker helped
welcome troops back to Fort Hood after being stationed overseas two years ago.
During his redshirt freshman season, he visited a San Antonio children's hospital on the team's trip to the Alamo Bowl. He
has been active in participating in the Longhorn Leaders program, which helps mentor middle school and elementary
school children and spoke to a group of fifth and sixth graders in May on staying in school. He has also spoken at schools
in his hometown of Hallsville, Texas, and worked a football camp in Hallsville as a senior in high school.
At Hallsville High School, Muckelroy was a four-year starter at linebacker and also played some running back. He was a
first-team Class 4A All-State selection by the Associated Press and Texas Sports Writers Association as a senior, adding
All-Area and All-District honors. That season, he recorded 104 tackles, four sacks, 12 stops for loss, two forced fumbles
and one fumble recovery, adding two rushing touchdowns while lining up at fullback in goal-line situations.
As a junior, Muckelroy was tabbed honorable mention All-State by the Associated Press and was also a first-team All-
Area and All-District running back. He posted 144 tackles, 14 for loss, while rushing 89 times for 664 yards and nine
touchdowns that year. He recorded 21 tackles, a forced fumble and scored two touchdowns, including the game-winner,
vs. Palestine in the first round of the playoffs in 2003.
During his sophomore season, he made 108 tackles, two sacks, seven stops for loss, one interception, five fumble
recoveries and two forced fumbles. He also added 98 rushes for 448 yards and two scores. He had 378 tackles and 33
stops behind the line of scrimmage during his career. He also lettered twice in basketball and competed in track for three
years in the 100m, 200m and mile relay.
Muckelroy enrolled at Texas in 2005, spending the season as a red-shirt on the scout team. While it is rare for first-year
players in the program to see much playing time, he had a stellar 2006 preseason and was anointed the team’s starting
weak-side linebacker. He had 10 tackles (all solos) with a sack and 2.5 stops for losses to begin the season, but was
injured early in the third game vs. Rice and had season-ending finger surgery.
When he returned to the field in 2007, Muckelroy proved to be even more valuable coming off the bench. He played in 13
games, starting vs. Arizona State in the Holiday Bowl as a strong-side linebacker. He produced 59 tackles (40 solos) with
2.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and an interception.
Muckelroy earned back his weak-side linebacker job in 2008, starting all 13 games. He paced the Longhorns with a
career-best 102 tackles (69 solos). When projected starter Jared Norton was lost due to an injury, Muckelroy slid over to
man the middle linebacker position in 2009. He helped the team lead the nation in rush defense (72.36 ypg) and rank third
in total defense (251.93 ypg), as he again led the squad with 85 tackles (59 solos) that included two sacks and nine stops
behind the line of scrimmage.

ERIC NORWOOD
Outside Linebacker
University of South Carolina Gamecocks
#40
6:00.7-245
Acworth, Georgia
North Cobb High School
OVERVIEW
A player with tremendous versatility, Norwood is a downhill type with an ability to take proper angles from his stand-up
position to do what he does best – rush the quarterback. By the time he completed his junior year, he already owned the
school career tackle-for-loss record (54.5) and went on to set the USC all-time record with 29.0 sacks.
At North Cobb High School, Norwood was rated a three-star prospect according to Rivals.com. That recruiting service
tabbed him as the 26th-best player in the state of Georgia at any position and the 34th-ranked strong-side defensive end
in the country. He would earn All-County honors as a linebacker, defensive end and tight end during his career.
The six-time selection as the Cobb County Defensive Player of the Week, he added Cobb County Touchdown Club 48
Minute Man of the Year and Prep Sports All-Region team honors as a senior. That year, he made 50 tackles and had 11
sacks, adding 15 catches for 315 yards and three touchdowns. He also competed for the North Cobb basketball and track
& field teams.
As a true freshman at South Carolina, Norwood played in 13 games as a reserve left defensive end, but shared the team
lead with seven sacks, adding nine stops for loss while producing 30 tackles (22 solos). He earned first-team Freshman
All-American and first-team Freshman All-Southeastern Conference honors from The Sporting News.
In 2007, Norwood took over left defensive end duties. He was named first-team All-SEC by the league’s coaches, as he
finished second on the squad with 69 tackles, setting the school season-record with 19.5 tackles for loss, which ranked
third in the SEC and tied for seventh in the nation. He also tied for first in the league with three fumble recoveries,
returning two for touchdowns in the Kentucky contest, and led the squad with six sacks.
Norwood again garnered All-SEC first-team honors in 2008, but this time, that accolade came as a weak-side linebacker.
He quickly adapted to his new environment, recording 75 tackles (49 solos) as he paced the Gamecocks with nine sacks,
leading the SEC in that category. He also led USC with 14.5 stops for loss, the fourth-best season total by a Gamecock.
He added nine pressures and joined the kick coverage unit, blocking a punt in the Mississippi State clash.
In 2009, Norwood became the first South Carolina player since 1984 to make both the Associated Press and Walter
Camp All-American teams. He registered a career-best 81 tackles (58 solos), posting seven sacks to become just the
second player in school history to lead the team in that category four times in a career. He was credited with 11.5 stops
for loss, had 11 pressures and two INTs, returning one for a score. He excelled on special teams, blocking three kicks.
Norwood finished his final season with 29.0 career sacks, third among active NCAA players, topped by just Brandon
Graham of Michigan (29.5) and Dexter Davis of Arizona State (31.0). His 54.5 tackles for loss rank behind Graham (56)
and George Selvie of South Florida (69) among active players.

PERRY RILEY
Louisiana State University Tigers
#56
6:01.0-239
Ellenwood, Georgia
Stephenson High School
OVERVIEW
Standing out in a group is nothing new for Perry Riley. In high school, he played alongside Florida State’s Marcus Bell and
Louisiana State teammate Kelvin Sheppard. As a senior with the Tigers, Riley was joined in the linebacker corps by
standouts in Sheppard and Harry Coleman. Riley was productive and never overshadowed. In two seasons as a starter
(2008-09) he racked up 157 tackles (77 solos), the second most over that time period by a Louisiana State player.
Riley played the weak-side linebacker position for the Tigers but may move inside at the next level. He can take on
blockers and possesses the strength and size to move to middle linebacker in the NFL.
Riley was a standout linebacker at Stephenson High School. He collected 131 tackles, four interceptions, two sacks, five
tackles for loss and scored one defensive touchdown as a senior. He was a member of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Top 50 for Georgia and the Mobile Register Super Southeast 120. He was given a three-star rating from Scout.com and
Rivals.com, as the latter listed him as the nation’s 27th outside linebacker prospect and the 21st recruit from Georgia.
Riley chose to attend Louisiana State, enrolling at the school in 2006 and immediately began making an Impact by
providing quality depth at the outside linebacker spot. He played in seven contests as a first-year freshman and finished
with four tackles (one solo).

also a key contributor on the Tigers’ special teams units, collected 14 tackles in that role. He finished the year with 24
tackles (nine solos), including two vs. Ohio State in the BCS National Championship.
With Sanders graduating, Riley assumed the role of starting buck linebacker as a junior and exceeded expectations. He
was named one of twelve finalists for the 2008 Butkus Award, presented annually to the top linebacker in college football.
He played in thirteen games with nine starts and collected 60 tackles (37 solos) with seven tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks.
Riley added three quarterback pressures, three pass deflections and one interception returned 17 yards. In a 38-3 rout of
Georgia Tech in the Chick-fil-A Bowl, Riley racked up a team-high 11 tackles (eight solos) with one tackle for loss to earn
the game’s Defensive MVP award.
Entering his senior season, Riley had lofty expectations after being named to the pre-season watch list for the Butkus
Award. He did not disappoint, placing second on the nation’s 26th-ranked defensive unit with 97 tackles (40 solos),
including 4.5 stops for losses. He added five pass deflections, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery and one
interception.

RICKY SAPP
Clemson University Tigers
#7
6:03.7-252
Bamberg, South Carolina
Bamberg-Ehrhart High School
OVERVIEW
The three-year starter at the “Bandit” defensive end position, Sapp’s cat-like quickness and burst make him a strong
candidate for linebacker in a 3-4 defensive alignment.
A move to the second level could see him become a dominant blitzing force. With 16 pressures, 17.5 sacks and 38.0
tackles behind the line of scrimmage, this Tiger has been a disruptive backfield presence.
Sapp was a first-team USA Today All-American selection, adding second-team honors from EA Sports as a senior at
Bamberg-Ehrhart High School. He was rated the top prospect in the state of South Carolina by Super Prep and the
nation’s second-best defensive end by College Football News. Rivals.com rated him third at his position nationally and
second overall in the state.
The Greenville Touchdown Club Player-of-the-Year earned All-State first-team accolades in his last two years and was an
All-Region choice as a sophomore. The Shrine Bowl choice recorded 82 tackles, 25 stops for loss and 11 sacks as a
senior. He added 70 tackles, including 27 behind the line of scrimmage, along with 11 more sacks as a junior.
Sapp was a track and basketball standout. He was a three-year state regional champion in the 100m (10.76 career-best),
200m (21.0 career-best), and 4x100m relay. The two-year starter and was a two-time All-Region selection as a forward for
the basketball team. Sapp became the first Tiger defensive lineman named first or second-team All-American by USA
Today to enroll at the university since Chester McGlockton in 1988.
Sapp spent his freshman season as a reserve. He played in 13 games, finishing second on the team with four sacks. He
also broke up two third-down pass attempts and had two pressures that caused interceptions.
Sapp emerged from a heated battle in fall camp to claim the right defensive end position. He worked hard in the off-
season, bulking up to 240 pounds after playing at 220 the previous season. He notched six sacks and made 9.5 stops
behind the line of scrimmage. He collected five pressures, three of which lead to interceptions. He also delivered 44 total
tackles (24 solos) while starting all 13 games.
Sapp was starting to emerge as a junior, recording 9.5 stops for loss through the first 10 games of 2008. He finished with
25 tackles (12 solos) and 2.5 sacks.
Sapp started all 14 games in 2009. Sapp took the extra time to work on his upper body strength, and it came in handy
during his final season, as Sapp stepped into more of a linebacker role in the defense. In 2008, while playing the “bandit
end” position, he was used as more a pass rusher who sometimes dropped into a zone cover scheme. Sapp sometimes
lined up as an outside linebacker.
CAREER NOTES
Sapp started 36 of 50 games at Clemson, participating in 1,820 defensive snaps…Came up with 142 tackles (70 solos),
17.5 sacks for minus 122 yards, 16 quarterback pressures and five pass deflections…Recovered one fumble and caused

Coral Gables, Florida
Coral Gables High School
OVERVIEW
Sharpton earned the team’s Hardest Hitter Award in 2009. After bouncing around all three linebacker positions most of his
career, Sharpton found a home when coach Randy Shannon installed him at middle linebacker during his final season.
Academically, Sharpton has already earned his degree. He is currently finishing four classes for 12 credits in extended
studies. Sharpton has long considered a future in finance and entrepreneurship. But for now, the 6-0, 236-pound son of
CPA Darryl Sharpton Sr. and nephew of Rev. Al Sharpton, is talented enough to deserve a shot in the NFL.
Sharpton grew up in Coral Gables, graduated from Coral Gables High School as part of the prestigious International
Baccalaureate academic program and played his first three years under the radar. The team’s return to national
prominence was helped by his stellar play in the middle. Not shifting from one position to another for the first time in his
career, he registered more tackles than his previous two seasons combined, leading the Hurricanes with 106 tackles.
Sharpton played offense and defense throughout his Coral Gables career. He returned kickoffs and blocked punts. As a
senior, he finished with 96 tackles (three for loss), two interceptions and four blocked punts. As a junior, he recorded 110
tackles and one interception for a touchdown. He was ranked as the nation's 28th-best outside linebacker prospect by
Rivals.com and was chosen All-Dade County while ranking as the 10th-best prospect in Dade County by the Miami
Herald. He was also a member of the Florida Times-Union Super 75 squad.
Sharpton enrolled at Miami in 2005. He saw limited action in the team’s first three games that year before being granted a
medical red-shirt. Sharpton started three of the 11 games in 2007. He finished sixth on the team with 46 tackles (30
solos), making seven of those stops behind the line of scrimmage. Even though Sharpton again played all three
linebacker positions in 2008, he spent most of his junior season at strong-side linebacker, starting nine times. He was the
team’s fourth-leading tackler with 58 hits, including six stops for loss. He fielded three kickoffs for 18 yards in returns.
Named the team’s co-MVP as a senior, Sharpton was also recognized as a second-team ACC choice. In addition to
leading the team, he placed fourth in the conference with an average of 8.15 tackles per game in 2009. He added nine
stops for loss with three pass break-ups to go with his touchdown via the interception return.

BRANDON SPIKES
Middle Linebacker
#51
6:02.7-249
Shelby, North Carolina
Crest Senior High School
OVERVIEW
A physical run stuffer, Spikes has been the leader of the Gators’ defense since he replaced Brandon Siler at middle
linebacker during his sophomore season. Though he was used more often in run situations, Spikes turned four of his six
career interceptions into touchdowns, the second-best total in SEC history. Since the 1996 NCAA season, he is one of
only three linebackers in the nation to have four interceptions returned for touchdowns.
Spikes has solid football bloodlines, as his cousin, Takeo Spikes, is a 13-year NFL veteran, having played linebacker for
Cincinnati (1998-2002), Buffalo (2003-06), Philadelphia (2007) and San Francisco (2008-present) after an All-American
career at Auburn. Still, Brandon patterns his style of play after Hall of Fame linebacker Dick Butkus, honoring his idol by
wearing Butkus’ jersey number during his playing days with the Chicago Bears (no. 51).
Spikes has a knack for avoiding blockers, especially when taking an inside gap to the quarterback. His disruptive style of
play has resulted in 31.5 tackles behind the line of scrimmage during his career. All four of his fumble recoveries led to
Florida scoring drives. Five of his eight pressures resulted in interceptions. Spikes registered tackles in bunches. In his
past 38 games, he posted double-digit tackle outputs in 11 contests. He is the sixth player in school history to lead the
team in tackles in consecutive seasons (131 in 2007; 93 in 2008).
Born in Shelby, North Carolina, Spikes attended local Crest Senior High School. He started all four seasons as a
linebacker and defensive end. He was rated the top prospect in the state by Rivals.com in 2006, as that recruiting service
also rated him the nation’s 13th-best linebacker. Scout.com ranked him sixth overall in the nation. After his senior season,
he was selected to participate in the U.S. Army All-American Game.
The team captain totaled 74 tackles, four sacks and four interceptions as a senior. That year, he helped lead Crest High to
the North Carolina state semifinal round. He had begun his prep career on the defensive line, but moved to linebacker
during his sophomore season and stayed there. He lost 30 pounds from his playing weight as junior and the result was 98
tackles, three sacks, seven interceptions and forced five fumbles. On a recruiting trip to Alabama, he met quarterback Tim
Tebow, immediately noticing Tim’s leadership. He vowed to himself that he would sign with whatever school Tebow
decided on because he wanted to play ball with the future Heisman Trophy winner.
As a true freshman, Spikes appeared in nine games for Florida, earning a start vs. Western Carolina. He finished the
season with 15 tackles (9 solos), a stop for a loss and two pass break-ups. Spikes transitioned into a starting role
following the 2006 national championship. He had 131 tackles in 2007, as the Gators finished 9-4. The defense improved
in 2008, as Spikes posted 93 tackles (52 solos) with eight stops for loss, as he returned both of his interceptions for
touchdowns. He was a Bronko Nagurski Award finalist and team captain that season.
A Butkus Award and Bednarik Award finalist in 2009, Spikes added All-American first-team honors during his final season.
He ranked fourth on the squad with 68 tackles (36 solos), remaining the team’s big-play artist, again returning both of his
interceptions for scores.

DARYL WASHINGTON
Inside/Outside Linebacker
Texas Christian University Horned Frogs
#41
Irving, Texas
Irving High School
OVERVIEW
In the two seasons with that speedy rush end Jerry Hughes and Washington playing together, the Horned Frogs have led
the nation in total defense. The 2008 squad also paced the NCAA in run defense and finished third nationally in 2009.
Hughes and Washington combined for 42.5 tackles behind the line of scrimmage, 31.5 quarterback sacks and 282 tackles
during the last two seasons. Originally recruited as a middle linebacker, Washington went on to establish himself as one
of the premier special team players in the nation. In 2007, he led the NCAA ranks with three blocked punts, returning two
while all three set up TCU scoring drives.
With 20.5 stops behind the line of scrimmage and 18 third-down tackles in his last two seasons, his ball-hawking skills and
ability to contain the running game make Washington a strong candidate to return to the middle in the NFL.
At Irving High School, Washington was a first-team All-City selection and team MVP. The second-team All-Area pick was
selected to play in the Texas-Oklahoma Oil Bowl All-Star Game after he totaled 168 tackles with four sacks as a senior.
The two-year letter-winner also played on offense, adding three letters in basketball and one in track & field.
Washington backed up Jerry Phillips at middle linebacker in 2006, getting most of his playing time on special teams. He
blocked a punt vs. San Diego State and totaled 16 tackles (8 solos), including one for a loss, and also caused a fumble.
Having added close to 20 pounds to his frame, Washington entered the 2007 season as a 230-pound reserve middle
linebacker. He led the major college ranks with three blocked punts, advancing two of them. He also collected 32 tackles
(25 solos) with three stops behind the line of scrimmage before missing the final two games with a shoulder injury.
Washington shifted to strong-side linebacker in 2008, but also saw action at middle linebacker. He finished fourth on the
team with 63 tackles (41 solos) that included three sacks and 5.5 stops for loss. He deflected four passes and picked off
another while helping a front seven that led the nation in run defense, allowing 47.08 yards per game.
As a senior, Washington led the Horned Frogs and ranked fifth in the Mountain West Conference with a career-best 109
tackles (68 solos). He finished second on the squad with 11.0 stops behind the line of scrimmage as TCU led the nation in
total defense (239.69 ypg). He also intercepted three passes, returning one for a touchdown vs. New Mexico. He would
earn All-American and All-MWC honors, in addition to being named a Butkus Award semifinalist.
CAREER NOTES
Washington started 15 of 50 games at Texas Christian, and his 220 tackles (148 solos) topped the Horned Frogs’ active

DEKODA WATSON
Outside Linebacker/Strong Safety
Florida State University Seminoles
#36
6:01.3-226
Aiken, South Carolina
South Aiken High School
OVERVIEW
Watson is another in a long line of Seminoles linebackers with outstanding quickness and speed. Like formrer FSU
linebacker, Michael Boulware, Watson may switch to strong safety at the next level. However, after running the 40-yard
dash at 4.4 second during FSU’s Pro Day, he certainly has the speed to transition into the defensive backfield.
Working hard in the weight room is something that Watson relishes. One of the most athletic players in the ACC, Watson
was ranked seventh on ESPN’s Top 10 list of Workout Warriors. The senior boasts 48” shoulders and a 26” waist and is
as athletic as any member of the team.
An explosive linebacker who understands the game, he was named team captain for his final campaign. He closed out his
career with 184 tackles (112 solos), as 17.67 percent of those stops (32.5) came behind the line of scrimmage.
Watson was considered a three-star prospect and rated the 25th-best outside linebacker in the country by Rivals.com
during his senior year at South Aiken High School. That recruiting service rated him the best linebacker and 10th-best
overall prospect in the state of South Carolina. He added Prep Star All-Region honors and was selected All-State, in
addition to being named to the All-Southern team by the Orlando Sentinel in 2005.
Watson recorded 102 tackles, including 29 for loss and 18 sacks from the defensive end position as a junior. Shifting to
linebacker the following season, he totaled 123 tackles, 32 stops behind the line of scrimmage and 11 sacks. He was
named Defensive MVP after recording nine tackles and a sack for the South Carolina team in the annual North Carolina-
South Carolina Shrine Bowl.
Watson saw action at both outside linebacker positions in addition to defensive end while appearing in 12 games during
2006. He started at weak-side linebacker vs. BC and recorded 23 tackles (18 solos) with 3.5 stops for loss that season.
Named the team’s Most Improved Player in 2007, Watson took over at strong-side linebacker. He posted 50 tackles, fifth-
best on the team, adding three sacks with eight stops behind the line of scrimmage. He also turned his first career
interception into a 40-yard touchdown return vs. Virginia Tech.
In 2008, Watson started seven of the 10 games he appeared in, collecting 46 tackles with eight stops for loss and an
interception. He also recovered a fumble vs. Wisconsin in the Champs Sports Bowl, returning the ball 51 yards for a TD.
The team captain was named second-team All-ACC as a senior. He ranked fourth on the team with 65 tackles (37 solos),
leading FSU with 6.5 sacks and 13 stops for loss, all career bests.

SEAN WEATHERSPOON
University of Missouri Tigers
6:01.2-239
Jasper, Texas
Jasper High School
OVERVIEW
Just the third player in Missouri history to lead the team in tackles three times in a career, Weatherspoon’s total of 413
tackles rank third in school history and 10th on the Big Twelve Conference all-time record chart. His 155 tackles in 2008
rank second on the Tigers’ season-record list, placing seventh on the league’s annual record book, while finishing fifth
nationally that season.
While his tackle totals stand out, Weatherspoon’s has a fully-rounded skill set. His 12.5 sacks rank 13th in school history,
as 10.53 percent of his tackles have come from behind the line of scrimmage (43.5). Six of his seven pressures either
came on third-down snaps or caused interceptions. Five of his nine forced turnovers led to Missouri scores, including two
interceptions that he returned for touchdowns.
The cousin of former WNBA star, Teresa Weatherspoon, Sean was a versatile athlete who was an accomplished three-
sport star at Jasper High School. He was named the Texas District 22-3A Player of the Year as a senior, after making 98
tackles, eight stops for loss, four sacks and two interceptions from his linebacker position. He added second-team All-
State honors while also competing as a receiver, catching 27 passes 428 yards and seven touchdowns that season.
Weatherspoon was named first-team All-District as a junior, registering 105 tackles, six stops for loss, a pair of sacks and
three interceptions. He was chosen Class 22-3A Defensive Newcomer of the Year as a sophomore in 2003, when he
amassed 101 stops, three behind the line of scrimmage and two interceptions. He added All-State honors in track as a
high jumper and was an All-District performer as a guard in basketball.
Nicknamed “Spoon,” the Missouri staff found him to be a very engaging personality when he arrived on campus as a
freshman. He spent most of his freshman season playing on special teams, recording his first collegiate play by blocking a
punt vs. Murray State in the 2006 season opener. He finished that year with 17 tackles (11 solos).
With a struggling defense needing an infusion, the coaches inserted Weatherspoon into the starting lineup at weak-side
linebacker in 2007 and the Tigers went from being the 58th-ranked rush defense the previous year to 25th. The
sophomore earned first-team All-Big Twelve Conference honors, as he placed himself 12th on the school season-record
list with 130 tackles (77 solos), ranking fourth in the league. He broke up eight passes, caused two fumbles and delivered
9.5 of his hits behind the line of scrimmage.
The junior All-American and All-Big Twelve pick was a finalist for the Butkus Award, given to the nation’s top linebacker.
He led the conference and ranked fifth nationally with 155 tackles (76 solos), the second-highest season figure by a
Tigers player. He had 18.5 of those stops for losses, returned two of his three INTs for TDs and broke up seven passes.
Again named a Butkus Award finalist as a senior, he finished third in the conference and led the squad with 111 tackles
(76 solos). He delivered 14.5 of those hits for losses, including 4.5 sacks.

NATE ALLEN
Free Safety
#5
6:00.4-207
Cape Coral, Florida
Cape Coral High School
OVERVIEW
Originally recruited as a quarterback, Allen had just as many scholarship offers to play basketball as he did football.
However, he decided not to follow the path of his father, Jackie, who was a star basketball player in Europe.
Since taking over free safety duties as a sophomore, Allen started his next 39 games and has been considered the
defense’s unquestioned leader. The Honor Roll student was quick to grasp the intricacies of playing deep in the zone or
coming up to be a physical presence in the box.
Nearly half of his 224 career tackles (108) came against the run. On those 108 tackles, 27 came on third-down plays. In
pass coverage, he was rarely beaten by the long ball, as his ability to maintain position and mirror the receivers through
their routes saw him prevent 30 of 56 passes targeted into his area from being completed in 2009.
At Cape Coral High School, Allen was a two-time Class 5A All-State honorable mention. He was rated the state’s 67th-
best prospect by the Orlando Sentinel and earned All-Area honors three times. He threw for more than 5,000 career yards
and broke all school passing records. One of his most memorable performances came when he amassed 325 yards and
four touchdowns on 18 of 23 passing to lead his team from a 16-point deficit to defeat Gulf Coast, 37-30. Allen was also
an accomplished basketball player, averaging 16.3 points, 6.6 rebounds and 2.9 steals in 2005-06. He scored more than
1,000 points during his career.
Allen spent his freshman season at South Florida adjusting to the defensive side of the ball. He did not see any action on
defense until the final contest, spending eight previous games on special teams. Both of his tackles came vs. East
Carolina in the Papajohns.com Bowl.
Expected to fill a role on special teams again in 2007, Allen’s stellar preseason resulted in a starting free safety job. He
went on to start all 13 games and began a consecutive string of 39 starts. He showed that he was a quick learner at his
new station, finishing second on the team with 84 tackles (65 solos) that included two stops for loss.
Allen also caused a fumble and recovered three others, returning one 44 yards vs. West Virginia and another three yards
for a touchdown vs. Louisville. He would score again the following week on a 37-yard interception return vs. Pittsburgh,
ranking sixth in the Big East Conference, as he produced four interceptions and eight pass break-ups as a sophomore. He
would add another touchdown on an 11-yard catch vs. Oregon in the Sun Bowl.
A member of the 2008 Jim Thorpe Award Watch List, Allen continued to man the free safety position. He totaled 53
tackles with his only career sack, adding two stops behind the line of scrimmage. He also picked off a pass and again saw
some action as a receiver, catching a pass for 16 yards in the West Virginia clash.
Allen was named All-Big East Conference first-team in 2009, as he finished second on the Bulls with a career-best 85
tackles (40 solos). He caused a fumble, recovered another and raced 75 yards with a blocked field goal attempt for a
touchdown vs. Charleston Southern. He tied strong safety Jerome Murphy for the team lead, as his four interceptions for
55 yards in returns ranked third in the conference. He also broke up four passes, with three coming on third-down tosses.

JAVIER ARENAS
Cornerback/Return Specialist
#28
5:08.5-197
Tampa, Florida
Robinson High School
OVERVIEW
At 170 pounds coming out of high school, Arenas’ hard work in the training room saw him add close to 30 pounds of
muscle to his frame in college, allowing the Tide staff to use him regularly on blitzes during his final two seasons at
Alabama.
Arenas’ ability to play inside the box is unique. As a starter, he made 63 plays vs. the opposing ground game, limiting ball
carriers to 224 yards (3.56 ypc) and no touchdowns. In his last 27 games, he registered seven quarterback sacks, 17.5
stops behind the line of scrimmage and eight pressures. Those were the highest figures for any starting cornerback in the
FBS ranks the past two years. He also posted 144 tackles, including 71 as a senior, the second-highest total on the team.
Including his performance in the 2010 BCS Bowl Championship Game, Arenas made countless game-changing plays for
the Crimson Tide. Since moving into the starting lineup at left cornerback as a junior, he intercepted six passes and
deflected 18 others.
The opposition completed just 65 of 154 passes (42.21 percent) targeted into his area during his tenure as a starter, good
for 642 yards (9.88 yards per completion/4.17 yards per attempt) and just one touchdown. Prior to Arenas taking over left
cornerback duties, the Tide ranked 48th in the nation in pass defense in 2007, allowing 221.31 yards per game. During his
junior year, they improved to 30th in the major college ranks (189.36 ypg) and in his final campaign, Alabama ranked 10th
nationally in pass defense (166.00 ypg) and second in pass efficiency defense (87.67 rating).
While his ball-hawking ability and penchant for the big play are impressive, Arenas is also a skilled kickoff and punt
returner. His 125 punt returns tied the SEC career-record, gaining 1,752 yards, the second-best total in NCAA FBS
annals. His seven punt returns for touchdowns are an SEC career-mark and rank second in major college history.
As a kickoff returner, he ranks fifth on the SEC’s career-record charts with 90 attempts for 2,166 yards. His total of 215
kick returns (punts/kickoffs) rank second in league annals while his total of 3,918 yards rank second in NCAA history. His
eight returns for touchdowns (seven on punts, one interception) also rank second on the major college record list and his
average of 18.22 yards on kick returns placed second among SEC players.
Arenas became the 13th player in college history to gain at least 1,000 yards each on punt and kickoff returns. He is also
the only major college player to ever generate over 1,500 yards on punt returns (1,752) and over 2,000 yards on kickoff
returns (2,166) in a career.
Providing his team with big plays in a variety of roles is nothing new for Arenas. While performing at Robinson High
School, he scored 16 times as a senior, setting school season-records as four of those scores came via punt returns and
three more were the result of kickoff returns.
Arenas was named U.S. Navy Player of the Week in 2005 and was chosen to the All-Suncoast first-team. In addition to
football, he competed for the school’s track team, performing in the 200- and 400-meter events.
As a true freshman, Arenas was utilized strictly as a return specialist for Alabama. He earned Freshman All-American
honors from The Gridiron Report, as he scored twice on 31 punt returns for 286 yards (9.2 avg). He added 344 yards on
18 kickoff returns (19.1 avg), amassing 630 all-purpose yards while appearing in all 13 games.
Arenas averaged 15.4 yards via punt returns in 2007, then the second-highest season average in school history, ranking
seventh in the nation and second in the conference. He had 21 attempts, scoring once. He also added 657 yards on 27
kickoff returns (24.33 avg), ranking sixth in the SEC. He made 20 tackles (13 solos) with a pair of stops behind the line of
scrimmage, as seven of his hits came on the kickoff coverage unit.
In 2008, Arenas moved into the starting lineup at left cornerback, appearing in 14 games. A second-team All-SEC pick on
both defense and special teams, he recorded 63 tackles (44 solos), fifth-best on the team. He added a pair of sacks with
seven pass break-ups and returned an interception for a touchdown. That year, Arenas finished sixth in the nation with 41
punt returns for 650 yards (15.38 avg), returning three of those attempts for touchdowns to earn All-American honors from
The NFL Draft Report. He had 26 kickoff returns for 614 yards, ranking sixth in the SEC with a 23.62-yard average, as he
also placed ninth in the league with 1,264 all-purpose yards.
The 2009 Jim Thorpe Award semifinalist was a first-team All-American and All-SEC choice in his final season, capping off
his career in explosive fashion. He intercepted two passes vs. Texas in the national championship victory, coming up with
a career-high five interceptions and 11 pass deflections in 2009. He ranked second on the team with 71 tackles (47 solos)
that included four pressures, five sacks and 12 stops behind the line of scrimmage.
On special teams, Arenas placed fourth in the nation with a 15.41-yard punt return average, as he scored once on 32
attempts for 493 yards. He also produced 551 yards on 19 kickoff returns, ranking tied for ninth in the major college ranks
with a 29.0-yard average. He finished the year with 1,069 all-purpose yards.

ERIC BERRY
Free/Strong Safety/Cornerback
#14
5:11.5-211
Fairburn, Georgia
Creekside High School
OVERVIEW
Berry can play any position in the secondary, is a willing participant on the special team coverage squads, can handle
return duties and showed in 2008 that he can be an effective receiver and running back in a pinch.
Mature beyond his years, the junior followed a similar path as his father James. Both served as team captains and both
enjoyed three-year careers as starters at Tennessee. A National Honor Society member who graduated with a 3.75 grade
point average, he studied dentistry at Tennessee and interned at a Georgia dentist office this past summer.
Berry is an ideal choice for a team with multiple needs in the secondary. Known for his outstanding ball-hawking skills, he
fell seven yards shy of breaking the NCAA all-time record for interception return yard, as his 494 yards rank behind the
501 generated by Terrell Buckley of Florida State (1989-1991).
As a junior, Berry displayed not only exceptional maturity, but the field intelligence of a veteran pro, showing the skill set to
come up and be a dominating force in run support and also staying stride-for-stride with receivers.
In 2009, under the guidance of former NFL defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin, Berry made 52 plays vs. the ground game
and 61 more in passing situations. No opponent was able to find the end zone against him. His skill set gives him the
potential to be a shut-down cornerback at the next level. In 2009, he not only had nine passes defended, but also rerouted
receivers away from 29 pass attempts last season.
The 2009 Jim Thorpe Award winner also took home the SEC Defensive Player of the Year award in just his second
collegiate season. That’s why it came as no surprise when the two-time unanimous All-American selection made himself
eligible for the 2010 NFL Draft at the conclusion of his junior season.
The strong safety’s 14 career interceptions tied Deon Grant (1997-99) for fifth on Tennessee’s all-time list. Even more
impressive is the game-changing impact Berry has once the ball is in his hands. As a true freshman, Berry racked up 222
yards in returns off interceptions to rank second on the school’s season-record chart. As a follow up, he broke the school
and SEC records during his sophomore season, collecting 265 interception return yards and surpassing the previous
mark of 244 set by Joe Brodsky of Florida in 1956. His career total of 494 yards off of interceptions also set an SEC
record, shattering the previous high of 379 by Bobby Wilson of Mississippi (1946-49).
Berry emerged as one of the premier defensive players in the country as a sophomore, and the pass defense saw a
dramatic increase in effectiveness, rising all the way to fourth in the country allowing just 160.42 yards through the air per
game. Monte Kiffin brought a new scheme to the defensive unit in 2009, but Berry and the secondary still maintained their
potency, ranking 12th nationally, as they allowed just 169.23 passing yards per game.
Berry was a highly-touted prospect at Creekside High School, where he was a four-year starter at quarterback and safety.
The Parade All-American led his team to a 37-5 overall record during his prep career, including two regional titles and an
appearance in the State 4A quarterfinals as a senior.
During his final season, Berry was named the Georgia Player of the Year by Gatorade and the Atlanta Journal-
Constitution as he collected over 1,500 yards rushing and 1,000 yards through the air. He added three interceptions while
racking up over 40 tackles as a defensive back. His performance earned him a starting spot in the prestigious U.S. Army
All-American Bowl as a member of the East squad.
The standout defensive back was selected as the nation’s top cornerback prospect by most recruiting services including
Scout.com, Rivals.com, ESPN, and Prep Star. He received the highest possible rating of five-stars from Scout.com as
well as Rivals.com, who list Berry as the top recruit in Georgia and the third-best prospect nationally. Berry was a model
student in the classroom. He maintained a 3.75 grade-point average and was a member of the National Honor Society.
Berry enrolled at Tennessee in 2007 and immediately made an impact on the defense, becoming the first defensive player
and just the third overall in the Phil Fulmer era to start the season opener as a true freshman. The consensus Freshman
All-American started all 14 games and snagged five INTs for 222 yards and one TD in returns, breaking the 3 record of
177 INT return yards set by Bobby Majors in 1970.
Berry earned second-team All-SEC honors as he led all conference freshmen with 86 tackles (57 solos), including two
stops for loss of three yards. During a contest vs. Florida, the team’s third game of the season, he intercepted a pass and
returned it 96 yards for a touchdown. The interception was the third-longest in school history and the longest in 35 years.
He was named the SEC Freshman of the Week twice in the final three weeks of the regular season for gus performances
vs. Arkansas (six tackles and two interceptions returned 98 yards) and Kentucky (14 tackles and one pass deflection).
Berry continued his stellar play as a sophomore in 2008, being named the SEC’s Defensive Player of the Year en route to
becoming the first Tennessee player to claim unanimous All-America honors since Antone Davis in 1990. He started all 12
games and tied for the national lead with seven interceptions as he collected 265 yards in returns to set a new SEC
single-season record, breaking a 52-year-old mark of 244 yards set by Joe Brodsky of Florida in 1956. Berry was a finalist
for the Jim Thorpe Award and a semifinalist for the Draddy Trophy and the Bednarik Award. The sophomore standout also
took home the Jack Tatum Award, presented to the nation’s best defensive back by the Touchdown Club of Columbus,
Ohio, and the Vince Dooley Award, given to the top defensive back in the southeast by the Touchdown Club of Atlanta.
As a junior in 2009, Berry was officially recognized as the nation’s best defensive back as he was presented with the Jim
Thorpe Award. The safety was also a finalist for the Lott Trophy and the Bronko Nagurski Award, presented annually to
the best defensive player in college football.
Playing closer to the line in new defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin’s scheme, Berry ranked second on the team with 87
tackles (56 solos) while snagging two interceptions, raising his name to fifth on Tennessee’s career record list. For the
second-straight season, he was a unanimous All-American selection, becoming just the second player in school history to
do so. As expected, Berry entered his name into the NFL draft pool at season’s end.

OVERVIEW
The team captain and Most Valuable Player, Coleman is also one of the Buckeys’ hardest hitters. With experience at
every position in the secondary, the coaches were able to utilize him in a variety of roles. He showed the power and ability
to keep plays in front of him in run support and displays the loose hips and crisp backpedal motion to handle assignments
in man coverage.
The three-year starter began his Ohio State career as a cornerback, taking over strong safety duties as a sophomore. He
shifted to free safety as a junior, where he was free to roam centerfield. Back at strong safety for his final campaign, he
created nine turnovers while posting 68 tackles.
Coleman was a two-time All-Ohio selection at Northmont High School. He added All-Midwest honors as a senior, as he
collected 92 tackles with three interceptions and seven pass deflections that season. In addition to playing defensive
back, he competed as a receiver, pulling down 22 passes for 248 yards and one touchdown.

for 266 yards and a score in 2005. As a junior, he came up with 17 pass break-ups and ten interceptions, including two he
returned for touchdowns, as he also posted 91 tackles (38 solos). On offense, he caught 16 passes for 315 yards and
seven touchdowns that campaign.
The defensive back graduated early, reporting to Ohio State in time to compete in 2006 spring drills. He spent his
freshman season as a reserve cornerback, as he totaled nine tackles and blocked one kick.
As a sophomore, Coleman took over strong safety duties for the Buckeyes. He collected 69 tackles, including a sack and
3.5 stops for loss. He continued to excel on special teams, blocking another kick and also deflected four passes. He
earned Defensive Player of the Week honors vs. Illinois, as four of his seven tackles came on third-down plays.

sack, four stops behind the line of scrimmage and a forced fumble. He ranked tied for third in the conference with four
interceptions and also deflected five passes.

the squad’s MVP. He was a Lott Trophy semifinalist, starting 12 contests at strong safety.
Coleman went on to rank third in the conference with five interceptions, gaining 129 yards with a career-long 89-yard

A.J. JEFFERSON
Fresno State University Bulldogs
#28
6:00.1-193
Bakersfield, California
West High School
OVERVIEW
One of the fastest Fresno State players, Jefferson is a highly-regarded kickoff return specialist who is also a capable
nickel back. The only player in school history to return kickoffs for touchdowns in back-to-back games (Utah State and
Hawaii in 2007), he led the nation with a 35.77-yard average as a sophomore and finished fourth in the country as a
junior, with a 29.29-yard average.
The school’s record-holder for most kickoff return touchdowns in a season (two in 2007) and career (three), only Aaron
Williams of Akron (30.45 avg) has a better career average among active NCAA players that Jefferson (29.4 avg). He
ranks tied for sixth among active players with his three scoring runbacks and eighth with 2,440 yards gained.
Jefferson is a natural athlete who is still developing his defensive skills. He’s played six years of football dating back to his
junior season of high school. Jefferson put on a show at the NFL Scouting Combine, displaying his athleticism as his
name appeared among the leaders at his position for nearly every category. He led all participants with a 4.01-second
short shuttle and an 11.04-second long shuttle. He finished fifth among cornerbacks with 6.73-second 3-cone drill and
fourth with a 10’6” broad jump. He made scouts take notice when he nearly leaped out of the building with a 44” vertical
jump, the second-highest mark recorded by a cornerback since 2000.
Jefferson didn’t play football until his junior year at West High School, but was a natural athlete and caught on fast. As a
senior, he led the team to a 12-1 record and a section championship win over Tulare Union. He earned first-team All-Area
honors as a defensive back while collecting 52 tackles, six interceptions, two blocked punts, and six blocked field goals.
The two-way standout also caught 43 passes for 901 yards (20.95 avg) and eight TDs. Jefferson was given a two-star
rating from Scout.com before accepting a scholarship offer from Fresno State. He enrolled at Fresno State in 2006 and
played in six games as a special teams player and in nickel and dime packages. The true freshman recorded four tackles
(three solo) and one pass deflection.
The following season, Jefferson started the first four games of the season at right corner-back, but made his biggest
impact on special teams. He took over the Bulldogs’ kickoff return duties the fourth game of the season and didn’t look
back. He was named a second-team All-Western Athletic Conference specialist, leading the nation with an average of
35.77 yards per kickoff return as he totaled 26 returns for 930 yards and two touchdowns.
He earned WAC Special Teams Player of the Week honors three times for performances vs. Nevada (three kickoff returns
for 108 yards), Utah State (three kickoff returns for 158 yards and one touchdown), and Hawaii (seven kickoff returns for
245 yards and one touchdown). The cornerback finished the season with 31 tackles (17 solo) and two pass deflections.
As a junior in 2008, Jefferson played in 11 contests. He started the first six games of the season at right cornerback and
finished with 31 tackles (17 solo) and two pass deflections. He also continued to provide a spark on special teams,
leading the conference and ranking fourth nationally with an average of 29.29 yards per kickoff return as he total 31
returns for 908 yards and one TD. He earned WAC Special Teams Player of the Week honors vs. Nevada, a contest in
which he returned six kickoffs for 241 yards (40.17 avg), including a 92-yard touchdown return in the fourth quarter.
In 2009, the senior cornerback started 12 games and ranked seventh on the team with 36 tackles (27 solo), adding one
tackle for loss, four pass deflections, and one forced fumble. He also ranked seventh in the WAC with an average of 23.15
yards per kickoff return, as he totaled 26 returns for 602 yards.

CHAD JONES
Free Safety/Strong Safety/Return Specialist
Louisiana State University Tigers
#3
6:02.1-221
Baton Rouge, Louisiana
Southern University Laboratory High School
St. Augustine High School
OVERVIEW
Jones played alongside his brother, defensive lineman Rahim Alem, the past three seasons at LSU. Jones was also a
baseball standout for the Tigers, joining teammate Jared Mitchell as the only two players in NCAA history to capture a
BCS football title and a College World Series crown. The two played on LSU’s 2007 national championship football team
and the Tigers’ 2009 NCAA title baseball squad.
Widely considered to be the best all-around athlete on the team, Jones gave the Tigers secondary a boost when he
moved into a full-time starting role at free safety as a junior. In 2008, the defense ranked 73rd in the country as they
allowed 215.38 passing yards per game. The unit saw an increase in effectiveness a year later when Jones stepped into
the starting lineup, ranking 29th nationally giving up just 194.23 aerial yards per game.
The free safety chipped in a team-high three interceptions for a squad that improved its number of pass thefts from eight
in 2008 to thirteen in 2009. Jones was selected as a second-team All-SEC choice by the league’s coaches and the
Associated Press.
Jones also provided a spark in the return game. He earned Walter Camp National Defensive Player of the Week and SEC
Special Teams Player of the Week honors for his performance vs. Mississippi State in 2009. Jones returned a fourth
quarter punt 93 yards for a touchdown. The play marked the second-longest punt return in school history.
There is little doubt that Jones possesses the physical attributes to excel at the next level. With the versatility and
coverage skills to play free safety and the tackling ability to play the strong spot, he should only get better as he refines
his technique.
Jones prepped at St. Augustine High School in eastern New Orleans before Hurricane Katrina forced him and his family to
relocate to Baton Rouge just before his junior season. He enrolled at Southern Lab, recording 81 tackles, 11 pass
deflections and four interceptions to earn first-team All-District and All-State Class A honors.
As a senior, Jones had an outstanding season while leading Southern Lab to a state semifinal berth. He collected 138
tackles and 12 interceptions, returning six of them for scores, while rushing for 464 yards and 12 TDs to earn first-team
All-District and All-State honors for the second-straight season. He was a consensus five-star All-American by every
recruiting service, and was one of four defensive backs in the country to be named to the prestigious Parade All-American
Team.
On the baseball diamond, Jones featured a 91 mph fastball and batted over .500 during his final season. He was drafted
by the Houston Astros in the 13th round of the 2007 Major League Baseball Draft. He chose to follow his older brother to
Louisiana State, where he played both sports for the school, turning down a $745,000 signing bonus from the Astros.
Jones joined the Tigers football program in 2007 and immediately began making his presence felt. As a true freshman, he
played in all 14 games and provided the team with versatility and depth, returning kickoffs and punts in addition to serving
as a backup safety, handling dime package duties.
He also made his mark on LSU's special teams coverage units, where he registered a team-leading 23 tackles in that
capacity, finishing the year with a total of 34 tackles, two sacks and an interception. He also broke up four passes and
caused one fumble.
The highlight of his season came vs. the Alabama, when he collected four tackles and two sacks. In the final moments of
the game, Jones sacked Tide quarterback John Parker Wilson and forced him to fumble, setting up a game-winning
touchdown as the Tigers recovered the loose ball. LSU capped off the season with a victory over Ohio State in the BCS
National Championship Game.
Jones also played in five games for the Tigers’ baseball team as a true freshman. He made three starts with one apiece at
center field, right field and designated hitter. He finished the year batting .154 (2-of-13) with one double and two runs.
In his second year, Jones saw his role on defense expand as he played in all 13 games and started five contests (one a
free safety, one at dime, three at nickel). As a sophomore, Jones started eight games for the baseball team (three in left
field, three in right field and two at designated hitter) before leaving for six weeks to participate in spring football practice.

RESHAD JONES
Strong/Free Safety
#9
6:01.2-214
Atlanta, Georgia
Booker T. Washington High School
OVERVIEW
Jones is talented enough to play either free or strong safety. With NFL teams using interchangeable parts in the
secondary, his versatility and ball-hawking skills make him an inviting prospect for a team that relies on quality zone
coverage defenders.
With his change of direction agility and range getting to plays along the sidelines, along with natural hands, Jones has
been effective competing for the ball in flight. He has defended 24 passes in 39 games, including coming up with 11
interceptions. He is just the eighth player in school history to lead the team in INTs in consecutive seasons.
With his size, impressive upper body strength and wrap-up tackling technique, Jones is also capable of handling strong
safety assignments. He is a consistent downhill tackler who is best served playing centerfield, where he does an efficient
job of reading the quarterback’s eyes. In 27 career starts, Jones answered the call at free safety in 13 contests and spent
the other 14 games manning the strong safety slot.
Jones was a bright spot in the Georgia secondary that struggled at times in 2009. After moving from free safety to the
strong position, Jones showed the versatility and athleticism teams covet at the next level.
After arriving at UGA as the one of the top rated prep players in the country, Jones quickly developed into one of the
Bulldogs’ most reliable defenders and a team leader and continued to improve throughout his career. He was presented
with a Most Improved Player Award in each season since his redshirt year.
Jones prepped at Booker T. Washington High School, where as a senior, he tallied 82 tackles and two interceptions on
defense while notching 15 touchdowns as a running back and wide receiver on offense. He earned Class AAAA All-State
and Defensive Player of the Year honors from both the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and the Georgia Sports Writers
Association.
Jones was one of the most sought-after recruits in the country. Rivals.com gave him their highest rating of five stars and
listed him as the top safety prospect in the nation. Prep Star also considered him the top overall defensive back recruit in
the country. Jones decided to stay in-state and sign with Georgia. He enrolled in Athens and retained eligibility by
redshirting in 2006.
He played in every game in 2007, making one start at strong safety and another at free safety. Jones finished third on the
team with 57 tackles (40 solos), including three stops for losses. He intercepted two passes and deflected three others.
Jones enjoyed a banner sophomore season, as he was named the Bulldogs’ Most Improved Defensive Back during
spring practice for the second-straight season. He was listed atop the depth chart at free safety and started every game
but one. He garnered All-SEC second-team honors from the Associated Press, as he ranked second on the team with 76
tackles (45 solos) and led all Bulldog defenders with five interceptions, which ranked fourth in the conference.
As a junior, Jones carried lofty expectations into the year after being named to the preseason watch list for the Thorpe
Award, which is presented annually to the nation’s top defensive back. He switched to strong safety, starting all 13 games
there, and ranked second on the team with 73 tackles (44 solos), including 4.5 stops for losses.
Jones again led the squad for the second straight season as he intercepted four passes, and added a career-high seven
pass deflections. He Jones ended his career with a brilliant five-tackle, two-pass deflection performance in a win over
Texas A&M in the Independence Bowl that featured a 59-yard interception return by the safety. At the team’s year-end
award banquet, he was presented with the team’s Most Improved Defensive Player Award.

MYRON LEWIS
Free Safety/Cornerback
Vanderbilt University Commodores
#5
6:01.5-203
Pompano Beach, Florida
Pompano Beach High School
OVERVIEW
Lewis is a big, physical cornerback that can perform in a variety of roles. He has proven that he can cover receivers in the
short to intermediate areas, but his ball-hawking skills and performances in zone coverage may dictate a move to free
safety in the NFL. In fact, Lewis spent his true freshman year at safety before starting 36 straight games at cornerback.
Lewis aims to become the third family member to play professional football. His brother, Hanik Milligan, was a two-time
All-Conference USA safety at Houston. He was drafted in the sixth-round (pick 188 overall) by the San Diego Chargers in
2003. He went on to play for the San Diego (2003-2005), Arizona Cardinals (2006) and St. Louis Rams (2007). Hanik was
named to the Pro Bowl roster as a special teams performer while with the Chargers in 2005.
Another brother, Hamin Milligan, attended Garden City Community College, winning NJCAA All-American honors before
transferring to the University of Houston. He has played for five different teams in the Arena Football League: the San
Jose SaberCats (2003), the Arizona Rattlers (2003-2004), the Chicago Rush (2004), the Dallas Desperados (2005-2006),
and the Georgia Force (2007-present).
Lewis was a four-year starter and two-time team captain at Pompano Beach High School, where he competed as a
receiver, defensive back, kicker and punter. The two-time MVP for the Golden Tornadoes, he was named first-team Class
2A All-State by the Florida Sports Writers Association and Class 2A All-Broward County by the Miami Herald. He was
chosen to play in the Dade-Broward Prep All-Star Game.
As a senior, Lewis posted 40 catches for 750 yards and 10 touchdowns as receiver. He posted 85 tackles, 20 passes
break-ups and two interceptions as a defensive back, He netted 16 interceptions, 70 receptions and more than 30
touchdowns during his career. He added three letters in basketball, averaging double digits in points and rebounds.
As a true freshman, Lewis saw minimal action as a reserve free safety, performing mostly on special teams in 10 games.
He gained 23 yards on a pair of kickoff returns and posted four solo tackles.
Lewis saw his first starting action as a sophomore, when he teamed with All-SEC performer, D.J. Moore, to give the
secondary a pair of lockdown defenders. SEC offenses struggled to gain yards through the air on the Commodores, as
their unit boasted the nation’s 18th ranked pass defense allowing just 197.08 aerial yards per game.
It was a dramatic improvement from the previous year, when the secondary ranked 51st allowing 196.42 passing yards
per game. He would record 49 tackles (33 solos), cause two fumbles and recover two others, returning one 25 yards in
2007. He also deflected 12 passes while picking off another.
The combination of Lewis and Moore returned in 2008 and frustrated opposing receivers and quarterbacks alike, as they
allowed 174.92 yards through the air per game to rank 15th nationally. Lewis finished fifth on the team with a career-best
76 tackles (51 solos) that included five sacks. He had five interceptions and knocked down six other throws. He also
caused two fumbles.
With D.J. Moore out of the lineup, most expected the Commodores pass defense to take a step back. Instead, the
secondary saw improvement under the guidance of Lewis, who served on the team’s leadership council. Vanderbilt
allowed only 164.92 aerial yards per game to rank ninth nationally, as their right cornerback took home All-SEC honors for
the first time in his career.
Lewis led the squad with four interceptions and eight pass deflections. He ranked eighth on the team with 41 tackles (26
solo), including 2.5 stops for losses.

CHRIS MARAGOS
Free Safety/Wide Receiver/Placement Holder
University of Wisconsin Badgers
#21
5:10.5-200
Racine, Wisconsin
Western Michigan University
William Horlick High School
OVERVIEW
When the former Western Michigan walk-on split end/slot receiver arrived at Wisconsin, Maragos moved to the defensive
backfield and found a home. He received his opportunity as a junior after joining Wisconsin as a walk-on. His family
bloodlines made him a natural to play free safety. Chris’ father, Nick, was an All-American free safety at Northern Iowa
(1974-76), where he was a three-time All-Conference choice.
Nick became just the second player in Northern Iowa history to lead his team in interceptions three times in a career (two
in 1974; seven in both 1975-76). His 16 total INTs rank fourth in school history, and he finished third in the NCAA Division
II ranks in that category while serving as defensive captain in 1976.
Chris was an all-around athlete at William Horlick High School, where he amassed eight letters while competing in
football, track, basketball and baseball, earning All-Conference recognition 12 times combined in football and track.
Named Wisconsin’s Gatorade Player of the Year in 2004, the two-time team captain and MVP was a three-year starter at
wide receiver. He picked up All-State, All-Southeast League, All-District and All-County recognition. Maragos was also the
recipient of the Southeast Southern Conference Scholar-Athlete Award. He competed four times at the state finals in
track, finishing third in the 100-meters and fifth in the 200-meters as a senior.
The Racine, Wisconsin native enrolled at Western Michigan in 2005, joining the team as a walk-on wide receiver. He had
a stellar 2006 preseason, earning eight starts for the Broncos that year, including seven at split end and vs. Akron at slot
receiver. He ranked sixth on the team with 25 receptions for 222 yards (8.9 avg) and also performed on special teams,
adding five tackles (4 solos).
Maragos again walked on at Wisconsin in 2007. Wanting to play closer to home, he sat out the 2007 campaign under
NCAA transfer rules, but it was time well-spent with the scout team, as he made an adjustment to the defensive backfield.
Maragos’ flashes of brilliance in limited early-season action earned him more playing time. He took over as the starter vs.
Penn State, finishing his first varsity season for the Badgers with six starts.
The safety posted 45 tackles (27 solos), the seventh-best total on the team and tops for UW players that did not start the
entire season. He also caused a fumble, returned his first career and also served as the team’s holder for field goals and
placements.
Maragos was named All-Big Ten Conference first-team by The NFL Draft Report in 2009. He led the team with four
interceptions, recording 49 tackles (36 solos) with a sack and three stops for loss. He caused one fumble and deflected
two passes. Serving again as the team’s holder, he surprised an Ohio State unit when he bolted with a fake kick, running
nine yards for his first career touchdown.

receivers away from 35 of those tosses…Coming up to lend support vs. the run, he has allowed just five first downs on 51

as three of those completions came late in the season opener vs. Northern Illinois, as the Badgers went to a prevent

fourth-down vs. the pass, as his QB pressures caused a pair of interceptions…Against the ground game, Maragos

including one on a goalline play…Added three tackles for the kickoff coverage team…Twice named team Defensive Most

TAYLOR MAYS
Free/Strong Safety
#2
6:03.1-230
Seattle, Washington
O’Dea High School
OVERVIEW
Most sons grow up wanting to be just like their fathers. Taylor Mays, however, did not follow the same football path of his
father, Stafford, who was a 255-pound pass rusher during his National Football League career with the Cardinals (1980-
86) and Vikings (1987-88).
“My dad retired in 1989, so it wasn't like I ran around NFL practice fields when I was young. But he gave me a lot of
insight. He could tell me about things because he went through them,” said Mays.
Mays instead became a safety, commanding the center of the football field while stationed deep in the secondary. Built
like a linebacker, but blessed with the speed that many cornerbacks covet, the Trojans defensive back relished his role as
the man assigned to keep the opposition from scoring.
It was a natural fit for Mays playing in head coach Pete Carroll’s zone concept. A former prep track star, his quickness,
combined for the perfect set of skills.
Carroll was an assistant coach with the Vikings when Taylor’s dad played in Minnesota. Mays developed quickly and was
thrust into the starting lineup after just one college game under his belt as a true freshman. He was productive his entire
career, delivering 276 tackles in 51 games at USC. Mays was projected to be a first round pick in the 2009 NFL draft, but
returned to school for his senior season.
At O’Dea High School, Mays was one of the most highly-touted prep players in the country. His blazing speed and
athleticism made him star on both the football team and the track and field squad, where he was a two-time 3A state
champion in the 100 and 200 meters. In 2004, Mays earned Student Sports Junior All-American honors while posting 89
tackles, five interceptions, and five pass deflections defensively, with 614 yards and seven touch-downs on 25 receptions
(20.6 avg) on offense. He also returned twelve punts for 392 yards (32.7 avg) and three touchdowns.
As a senior on the gridiron in 2005, Mays raked in countless national all-star accolades. The big safety earned Parade,
Super Prep, Prep Star, USA Today and EA Sports first-team All-American recognition. He registered 166 tackles, five
interceptions, and five pass deflections while collecting first-team All-State and All-Metro League Mountain Division
Defensive Co-MVP honors.
Mays also earned the league’s Offensive MVP award, as he caught 36 passes for 765 yards (21.3 avg) with 15
touchdowns and rushed for three more scores. He was named the Gatorade Player of the Year for the state of
Washington, and earned an invite to the prestigious U.S. Army All-American Game.
Scout.com listed Mays as the nation’s second-best safety prospect, giving him a five-star rating. He also received a five-
star rating from Rivals.com, who listed him as the second-best athlete prospect in the nation, the 16th-best overall
prospect in the country, and the best overall prospect from the state of Washington.
After starting free safety Josh Pinkard suffered a season-ending knee injury in the opener, Mays took over the job and
started the final 12 games of the season. He registered 62 tackles, three interceptions, and three pass deflections,
earning Pac-10 Co-Freshman of the Year honors in 2006. He was named a first-team Freshman All-American by The
Sporting News, Rivals.com, and Scout.com.
Mays started all 13 games as a sophomore in 2007 and earned All-Pac-10 honorable mention while ranking third on the
team with 65 tackles, one interception, six pass deflections, one forced fumble, and one fumble recovery. The safety
continued collecting accolades, being named a The Sporting News first-team All-American, adding second-team honors
from Sports Illustrated and third-team accolades from the Associated Press.
Mays was one of the most decorated players in the country as a junior. He recorded 53 tackles, two tackles for loss, and a
team-high nine pass deflections. He was named a 2008 consensus first-team All-American All-Pac-10 selection, and was
among three finalists for the Thorpe Award, given annually to the nation’s top defensive back.
Entering 2009, Mays was named to the preseason watch lists for the Walter Camp Award (top player), Bednarik Award
(top defensive player), Bronko Nagurski Award (top defensive player), Thorpe Award (top defensive back), and Lott
Trophy (top defensive Impact player). The defensive co-captain led the team and was second in the Pac-10 with 96
tackles (48 solos).
He added one interception, three pass deflections, and one fumble recovery. Mays earned Walter Camp All-American first
team honors, adding second-team recognition from the Associated Press. He was named All-Pac-10 first-team.

DEVIN MC COURTY
Cornerback/Special Teams Coverage Defender
Rutgers University Scarlet Knights
#21
5:10.6-193
Nanuet, New York
St. Joseph’s High School
OVERVIEW
Prior to the 2009 campaign, the weak-side cornerback worked in tandem with his twin brother Jason. Devin’s sensational
senior season gained the attention of NFL scouts..
Since taking over starting chores as a sophomore, the defensive back has more than lived up to the challenge of shutting
down his main pass coverage assignments. Always known for his punt and kick coverage ability, he recently added a new
wrinkle to his game, proving to be one of the more electrifying kickoff returners in the nation (27.91 yards per KR).
Against his main pass coverage assignments, McCourty has held those receivers to only 42 receptions for 386 yards on
158 passes targeted into his area, meaning that quarterbacks have completed just 26.58 percent of those tosses and their
intended targets were limited to 9.19 yards per pass completion and 2.44 yards per attempt.
While developing his shutdown cornerback skills, McCourty is not only a top-notch coverage defender, but has also
excelled inside the box. He made 91 of his 236 tackles in run support (38.56 percent) and has proven to be a drive-killer,
as he registered an incredible 94 third-down stops and 33 more on fourth-down action (38.60 percent of his plays made
resulted in killing the opposition’s series).
In addition, McCourty recorded 23 tackles for the punt coverage unit and 27 more for the kickoff coverage squad. He has
also blocked six punts and one field goal, as six of those blocks set up Rutgers scoring drives. Four more turnovers
generated by the defensive back (three interceptions, one fumble recovery) have also led to Scarlet Knights touchdown
drives. He also took over kickoff return duties as a senior, averaging 25.43 yards on 14 returns that included a 98-yard
touchdown, third-longest in school annals.
At Saint Joseph’s High School, McCourty was an All-League first-team defensive back in each of his final two seasons.
He added All-Bergen County honors from the Record as a senior, leading the team to an 11-1 record and a 42-8 victory
over Pope John High in the Parochial Group III final at Rutgers Stadium.
McCourty earned a total of three varsity letters, competing as a free safety as a sophomore and cornerback as a junior
and senior. He also saw action on offense as a slotback. In his last year with the team, he recorded 50 tackles with three
interceptions. Some of his senior season highlights included intercepting the first pass of the game vs. Paramus Catholic
43 yards for a touchdown, coming up with seven receptions for 145 yards and a touchdown vs. Bergen Catholic and
posting 16 tackles and one interception vs. Don Bosco.
After his senior campaign, McCourty was one of nine Rutgers recruits to play in the 2005 New York/New Jersey
Governor’s Bowl at Rutgers Stadium. He also lettered in basketball, starting at point guard for a team that compiled a 26-2
during his senior season.
The McCourty twins registered at Rutgers in 2004, with Devin spending that season on the scout team. In 2006, he played
behind Ron Girault at strong safety, as the 180-pound defensive back placed 10th on the team and led the Scarlet Knights
reserves with 38 tackles (23 solos). He recovered a fumble, broke up three passes and intercepted two others, returning
his first career pass theft 38 yards for a touchdown. He also collected 15 tackles on the special teams coverage units,
including eleven for the kickoff squad.
McCourty took over weak-side cornerback duties in 2007, with his brother, Jason, starting at the other cornerback slot.
Devin finished sixth on the team with a career-high 63 tackles (40 solos), recovering two fumbles while causing another.
He blocked three kicks that Rutgers recovered, leading to three scoring drives. He delivered 10 special teams tackles and
had two more interceptions, returning one for a touchdown, as he earned Big East academic honors for the second
consecutive season.
McCourty ranked fifth on the team with 57 tackles (37 solos), as he recovered a pair of fumbles, broke up seven passes
and picked off another, as two of his forced turnovers set up Rutgers scoring drives. He also registered thirteen hits on
special teams, while limiting opposing receivers to an average of 3.61 yards per pass attempt.
The senior defensive standout led the Scarlet Knights during the regular season with 78 tackles (48 solos). He finished
with a total of 80 tackles and also made 9.5 stops for loss, broke up 10 passes and intercepted another while blocking
three punts.
CAREER NOTES
In 52 games at Rutgers, McCourty started the last 39 contests at weak-side cornerback, recording 238 tackles (149 solos)
with a 4-yard sack (two assisted), 14.0 stops for minus 34 yards, two pressures, two forced fumbles and five fumble
recoveries…Deflected 27 passes and intercepted six others for 105 yards in returns (17.5 avg) and two TDs…Also
blocked seven kicks (six punts, one field goal) for 102 yards in returns, as six blocks led to Rutgers scoring drives (also
scored on an interception return, another on a kickoff return, had two other pass thefts that set up Scarlet Knights scoring
drives and a fumble recovery that led to a Rutgers touchdown)…Registered 49 special teams tackles that included 28
stops on the kickoff squad and 21 more for the punt unit…In his 39 starts, the opposition managed to complete just 35.20
percent of the passes thrown into his area (88 of 250) for 684 yards and just two scores, as they averaged 7.77 yards per
pass completion and 2.75 yards per pass attempt…During that span, McCourty defended 33 passes (six INTs, 27
deflections) and rerouted his main pass coverage assignments, preventing them from getting to 148 other throws…
McCourty’s three blocked kicks in 2007 were the most by a Division I player in a season since James King of Central
Michigan blocked a total of seven kicks in 2001…His total of 49 tackles on special teams are the most by a Big East

5:10.3-181
Pompano Beach, Florida
Ely High School
OVERVIEW
Based on his performances the last two years, capped by his outstanding Pro Day showing, Walter could soon be joining
his brother, Bryant, in the NFL. Bryant was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2005, starting at cornerback for them
during their Super Bowl run before signing with Arizona as a free agent in 2009.
The fifth-year graduate emerged as one of the elite SEC interceptors since earning a starting job as a junior. Three of his
nine interceptions went for touchdowns, including a school record 100-yarder vs. Northwestern in the 2010 Outback Bowl.
He is one of just three Auburn players to ever amass at least 250 yards in returns via interceptions. His 154 return yards
as a senior was two yards short of the Tigers’ season record of 156 yards by David Langner in 1972.
At Ely High School, McFadden earned Florida Sports Writers Association first-team All-State honors. He added
Rivals.com Florida Top 100 and Prep Star All-Region honors as a senior and was rated one of the nation’s top 50
cornerbacks by Scout.com.
Selected to participate in the Dade-Broward All Star Game, McFadden received Miami Herald All-Broward Defensive
Football Team honorable mention after compiling 67 tackles and four interceptions as a senior, adding two touchdowns on
kick returns. He notched four INTs as a junior, as he led his team to a 10-3 record and to the fourth round of the playoffs.
McFadden red-shirted in 2005 and saw minimal playing time the following year, making two solo tackles in 11 games
during the 2006 campaign.
The sophomore backed up Jerraud Powers at left cornerback in 2007. He posted 10 tackles with a stop behind the line of
scrimmage. He also broke up two passes and returned his first career interception 93 yards for a touchdown in the
Tennessee Tech clash. His 93-yarder became the fourth-longest interception return in school history.
McFadden had a great fall camp in 2008, taking over left cornerback duties. He broke up eight passes and intercepted
two others in 12 games. He was also in on 29 tackles (17 solos) with 1.5 stops behind the line of scrimmage.
The fifth-year senior earned All-SEC honors and was a member of the SEC’s Good Works Team in 2009. He finished
third in the league and 11th in the nation with six interceptions, returning two for touchdowns. He deflected 10 passes and
made 46 tackles (36 solos), including 4.5 stops for loss.

JEROMY MILES
Free/Strong Safety
University of Massachusetts Minutemen
#5
6:01.5-218
Sicklerville, New Jersey
United States Naval Academy
Winslow High School
OVERVIEW
A late arrival at the United States Naval Academy, Miles asserted himself as the Midshipmen’s best defensive player,
moving into the starting lineup at the rover position by the third game of his freshman campaign. He left the Academy to
play for Massachusetts head coach Don Brown in 2007.
In two-plus seasons as the leader of the Minutemen secondary, Miles, a two-time All-CAA choice has registered 187
tackles (103 solos). His physical style of play, especially in run support, saw him register 11.5 stops behind the line of
scrimmage, as he caused nine fumbles and recovered six others.
He posted 128 plays vs. the ground game, as opponents scored just once on those rushing attempts. What makes those
plays even more impressive is the fact that he had to make 61 of those stops out of his territory. Miles has also proven to
be a shutdown pass defender. The opposition attempted 173 passes into his territory, but completed just 24.86 percent of
those tosses (43) during his tenure as the leader of the Massachusetts secondary. Playing the bump-and-run in textbook
fashion, he prevented receivers from progressing into their routes 83 times, holding his opponent to a miniscule average
of 3.74 yards per pass attempt.
In 27 games with UMass, Miles produced 20 turnovers (interceptions, caused interceptions from QB pressures, fumbles
caused, fumbles recovered), as UMass scored 11 times from those big plays. He also displays great leaping ability and
natural hands, intercepting seven passes to go with 11 pass break-ups. He collected 69 of his stops on third-down plays
and nine more on fourth-down snaps.
Miles was an All-Conference performer on the gridiron at Winslow High School, where he also lettered in track and
wrestling. He earned three letters in football and four each while performing on the track and wrestling squads. The
speedy runner helped the track team capture three state championships during his time performing for that squad.
At Navy, Miles was an impact player who helped lead the defense to the Meineke Car Care Bowl in his only season with
the team. He was named Freshman All-American honorable mention and ECAC Freshman of the Year, adding ECAC All-
East first-team accolades for Navy in 2006. He took over rover position duties for the final 11 games, finishing sixth on the
team with 61 tackles (28 solos) that included 3.5 stops for loss, as he caused a pair of fumbles and recovered two others.
He also intercepted two passes and held opposing receivers to just 6.13 yards per pass attempt. Running backs that
ventured into his territory averaged just 2.53 yards on 23 attempts.
Miles left the Academy for Massachusetts in 2007. He started immediately for the Minutemen, picking up third-team All-
CAA honors as he ranked fifth on the team with 68 tackles (39 solos) and made 5.5 stops behind the line of scrimmage.
He caused five fumbles and recovered two others, as he also recorded five pressures. He picked off three passes, caused
three other interceptions and had eight pass break-ups. Of 83 passes targeted into his area, the opposition would
complete only 24 of those attempts (28.92 percent).
As a junior, Miles began to command national attention, becoming the 11th defensive back in Massachusetts history to
garner All-American recognition. The All-CAA first-team pick was one of the team’s few bright spots in 2008. Miles paced
the squad with 104 tackles (57 solos), ranking fifth in the league with an average of 8.67 hits per game.
The rover delivered six of his tackles for loss, as he caused two fumbles and recovered three others. He picked off three
passes, caused a pair of interceptions and broke up two passes. He held the opposition to just 3.38 yards per pass
attempt, as teams completed 17 of 65 passes targeted into Miles’ territory (26.15 percent).
The 2009 All-Colonial Athletic Association choice registered 62 tackles (36 solos), as he caused two fumbles and
intercepted two passes. Took a handoff on a fake punt for a 32-yard gain and produced eight special team tackles,
including three for the punt coverage unit.

JEROME MURPHY
Cornerback/Free Safety
#3
6:00.2-196
Elizabeth, New Jersey
Elizabeth High School
OVERVIEW
Murphy’s versatility was never better displayed than during his senior season, where he started games at the nickel back,
strong safety and field cornerback positions. His ability to ease into the lineup anywhere helped the youngster register 202
tackles during his Bulls career.
Murphy set the school career-record by making 52 appearances for the Bulls. Not only was he an invaluable performer in
the secondary, but he also filled in as a return specialist and excelled on the kick coverage units earlier in his career.
At Elizabeth High School, Murphy earned second-team All-State and first-team All-County honors after recording 89
tackles and eight interceptions, including one for a touchdown return, as a senior defensive back. He also performed on
the opposite side of the ball, where he added 580 receiving yards with seven touchdowns as a split end that season. In
addition to his performance on the gridiron, he lettered in basketball and track for the Minutemen.
After red-shirting in 2005 at South Florida, Murphy appeared in all 13 games as a reserve left cornerback in 2006, backing
up All-Big East starter Trae Williams. He made 20 tackles (14 solos) with a stop for a loss, recovering a fumble on special
teams action. He also blocked a punt that he advanced 18 yards vs. Connecticut.
Murphy was utilized at field cornerback in 2007, appearing in 13 games while earning his first career start as a nickel back
vs. West Virginia. He tallied 38 tackles, ninth on the team and best among the reserves. He had two stops behind the line
of scrimmage, as he caused two fumbles and intercepted two passes. He averaged 24.35 yards on 23 kickoff returns, as
he blocked one punt vs. Connecticut and recovered another block vs. Syracuse.
As a junior, Murphy started 11 of 13 games at field cornerback. He finished second on the team with 67 tackles, assisting
on a sack and three other stops for loss. He added two interceptions to his resume and broke up five other tosses.
Murphy finally garnered postseason honors for all of his hard work, being named All-Big East Conference first-team in
2009. He started every game, including one at nickel back, two at strong safety and the balance of the schedule at field
cornerback. Despite all that shuffling, he placed third on the squad with 77 tackles (49 solos). He recovered and caused a
pair of fumbles and registered eight pass deflections. His four interceptions tied teammate Nate Allen for third in the
league.

AKWASI OWUSU-ANSAH
Cornerback/Free Safety/Return Specialist
Indiana University of Pennsylvania Crimson Hawks
#32
6:00.2-207
Columbus, Ohio
Whetstone High School
OVERVIEW
Originally recruited as a running back, Owusu-Ansah spent his college career learning the intricacies of playing
cornerback. Blessed with excellent quickness, long arms and natural hands, his game matured greatly as a junior.
Owusu-Ansah has gained a lot of attention not just for his size and speed at cornerback, but for his special team heroics.
He scored nine touchdowns in his career on returns, including four on punts and three on kickoffs, making him an
attractive prospect for NFL teams.
At Whetstone High School, Owusu-Anseh was utilized as a running back. He earned All-Columbus City-North League
honors as a senior, as the team posted a 5-5 record in state Division II competition. He also lettered in track.
Used mostly in the nickel package and on special teams while vying for playing time during his first two years in the IUP
program, Owusu-Ansah made 20 tackles and returned a fumble recovery 45 yards for a touchdown as a freshman. He
added 12 more stops while averaging 24.95 yards with a touchdown on 20 kickoff returns and 9.68 yards with another
score on 28 punt returns in 2007.
Owusu-Ansah seized the opportunity to be a full-time starter in 2008, seeing action at both cornerback and safety. He led
the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference and ranked second in the Division II ranks with eight interceptions that year.
He also cemented his rank as one of the nation’s premier return specialists, averaging 12.1 yards per punt return and
24.46 yards per kickoff return during his junior campaign.
As a senior, Owusu-Ansah received All-American and All-PSAC honors as both a return specialist and defensive back. He
notched 27 tackles (20 solos), but it was his ability to shut down the opponents’ best receivers on a weekly basis that was
noticeable. He allowed just 30.44 percent of passes targeted into his area to be completed, as he rerouted receivers away
from 30 passes, giving up just 5.33 yards per pass attempt.
He performed in the agility tests at the 2010 NFL Scouting Combine and then wowed scouts at Ohio State’s Pro Day,
clocking 4.41 in the 40-yard dash, with a 4.05 showing in the 20-yard shuttle. He also put up the 225-pound bench press
21 times.
It only seems natural that the Crimson Hawks defensive back goes on to play in the National Football League. After all,
his first name, Akwasi means “Born on Sunday.'” He was born in Ghana, on the west coast of Africa, moving to Florida
before setting in Columbus, Ohio.

record list… His eight interceptions in 2008 rank fourth in school…His seven total kick returns for touchdowns are the
most by an NCAA Division II player in a career since Kevin Nickerson of Central Missouri tied the national record with ten
touchdowns (1998-01; 8 punt returns, 2 kickoff returns)…Became the 16th player in school history to earn AFCA All-
American honors when he was selected as an all-purpose back in 2009…His 74-yard interception return vs. C.W. Post in
2008 is the fifth-longest runback in school annals…His 222 yards gained via interception returns in 2008 set the IUP

PATRICK ROBINSON
Cornerback
#21
5:11.2-190
Miami, Florida
Gulliver Preparatory High School
South Miami High School
OVERVIEW
Coming to Florida State as a 169-pound freshman, Robinson matured both on and off the field. His added bulk, along with
his excellent speed, has often seen him emerge victorious when taking on the opponent’s premier wide receiver. Few
cornerbacks have the natural hands and ball skills Robinson displayed in his career. He can go up and compete for the
ball at its highest point with the best receivers in the game. Robinson is capable in run support as well and took on a more
active role inside the box in 2009. Twenty-four of his career-high 52 tackles came vs. the running game in 2009.
Attacking the ball like a receiver is how Robinson intercepted six passes in 2007 to earn honorable mention All-ACC
recognition. The cornerback burst onto the scene as a sophomore, intercepting six passes while starting five games to tie
for seventh on the school’s season-record list. He also tied a school record by picking off a pass in five straight games.
In 2008, Robinson notched 26 tackles, four passes defensed and one interception. He capped off his career in 2009 by
earning second-team All-ACC honors as a senior while helping Florida State to a victory over West Virginia in the 2010
Gator Bowl. He provided a lasting memory of his outstanding speed in that contest by chasing down blazing fast West
Virginia running back Noel Divine on a 70-yard run.
Robinson attended South Miami High School before transferring to Gulliver Prep. As a junior, he was an All-Region
selection by Prep Star, as he caught 32 passes for 491 yards and six touchdowns offensively and added eight
interceptions as a defensive back. Robinson scored 10 touchdowns and intercepted 11 passes as a senior to earn first-
team All-State honors for Class 2A from the Florida Sports Writers Association. Scout.com and Rivals.com gave the
cornerback a four-star rating as both recruiting services listed him as the 16th best prospect at his position nationally.
Robinson chose Florida State, enrolling in 2006. He played in 12 of the team’s 13 games as a back-up to Tony Carter at
left cornerback. The first-year freshman made an impact on the Seminoles’ special teams unit.
In the Clemson clash, Robinson blocked a PAT attempt that was returned for a defensive score, marking the first time in
school history the feat had been accomplished. He later returned a blocked PAT the length of the field for a defensive
score in the Seminoles’ victory over Duke.
In his second season, Robinson exploded onto the scene, playing in 12 games and starting five contests at the boundary
cornerback position while splitting time with Michael Ray Garvin. He led the team with six interceptions and tied a school
record by picking off a pass in five consecutive games. He averaged 0.5 interceptions per game to rank third in the ACC
and 12th nationally. His six pass deflections were also tops among Seminoles defenders.
He started eight of the nine games he played in 2009. He racked up 26 tackles (22 solo) with two stops for loss of six
yards while deflecting four passes and intercepting another. As a senior in 2009, Robinson started all 12 games he played
in, missing the Georgia Tech contest with a sprained left ankle, and earned second-team All-ACC honors. The senior
cornerback ranked fifth on the team with 52 tackles (16 solo), including three stops for losses of seven yards. He tied for
seventh in the ACC with an average of 0.92 passes defended per game, as he totaled a career-high 11 pass deflections.

including seven stops for losses of 21 yards…He deflected 21 passes and intercepted seven others for 87 yards in

MYRON ROLLE
Strong Safety
#3
6:01.7-215
Galloway, New Jersey
Oxford University
The Hun School of Princeton
OVERVIEW
Rolle proved quickly during 2010 Senior Bowl practices that he did not lose his skills after a year away from football while
he studied at Oxford as a Rhodes Scholarship recipient. He looked so fluid and agile in practice, it appeared Rolle hadn’t
lost a step since the last time he suited up against Wisconsin in the 2008 Champs Sports Bowl.
He carried over that good impression with an equally solid showing at the 2010 NFL Scouting Combine, both in the weight
room (21 reps at the 225-pound bench press) and in agility drills (4.59 40-yard dash, 26-inch vertical jump, 6.94 three-
cone drill).
“I stayed in shape and worked and trained while in England so I could come to the February combine in 2010 very much
in shape and I can come to impress,” sayd Rolle. “Hopefully an NFL team looks at me as someone who can contribute to
their franchise immediately."
At the Hun School, Rolle was the consensus top prospect in the nation. The top-ranked player nationally on ESPN's 150
for 2006 after a senior season in which he totaled 112 tackles including 14 tackles for loss, he was rated as a five-star
prospect by Rivals.com and rated as the best defensive back by Scout.com. A versatile athlete, he lined up at safety,
cornerback, wide receiver and running back during his high school career.
Rolle added 2006 EA Sports All-American first-team honors. The Parade All-American was one of 16 finalists for the 2006
Parade All-America High School Football Player of the Year Award. He received three out of a possible three stars from
Prep Star Magazine and was named the third-best overall prospect on the magazine’s Top 100 Dream Team.
The defensive back was named the New Jersey Prep Defensive Player of the Year by the Newark Star-Ledger as a junior
after registering 83 tackles (19 for loss), six sacks, and four interceptions. He represented the East team in the U.S. Army
All-American Bowl and was the recipient of the National Defensive Player of the Year Award given by the Touchdown
Club of Columbus, Ohio.
Rolle chose Florida State and enrolled in time to compete during 2006 spring drills. He earned first-team Freshman All-
American and the Atlantic Coast Conference Defensive Rookie of the Year honors from The Sporting News, the American
Football Coaches' Association and College Football News.
Rolle finished fifth in the voting for ACC Rookie of the Year honors by the Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association, as he
played in the team’s final 12 games, starting 10 contests at the Rover position. He finished third on the team with 77
tackles that included 5.5 stops for loss. He broke up five passes and had the only interception for his FSU career. His
average of 6.4 tackles per game led the conference’s freshmen performers.
In 2007, Rolle was named to the 2007 All-ACC academic team and inducted into Omicron Delta Kappa National
Leadership Honor Society. He received an FSU 2008 Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity Award. On the field,
he started all 13 games at rover, ranking fourth on FSU with 67 tackles, recovering two fumbles and causing another.
Rolle’s ability to handle deep secondary coverage assignments saw the Seminoles improve their pass defense ranking
from 85th in 2007 (245.38 ypg) to sixth in 2008 (162.38), as the junior registered 62 tackles (40 solos) with five pass
deflections. The third-team All-American choice led the Seminoles by not allowing an opponent to catch a pass in five of
the thirteen contests he appeared in.

Rolle started 35 of 38 games, recording 206 tackles (107 solos), a 2-yard sack and 7.5 stops for losses totaling 34
yards…Recovered two fumbles and caused another…Had 12 pass deflections and gained 21 yards on an INT return.
2009 SEASON

a medical career at the conclusion of his playing career and open a medical clinic in his native Bahamas…The strong
safety earned his undergraduate degree in exercise science from Florida State in less than three years and played his

TERRELL SKINNER
Strong/Free Safety
University of Maryland Terrapins
#1
6:02.1-214
St. Petersburg, Florida
Boca Ciega High School
OVERVIEW
The fifth-year senior patiently worked his way into the starting lineup in 2008, improving and developing throughout his
Maryland career. Skinner became one of the nation’s premier special team coverage players in his first two seasons as a
reserve.
Because of his coverage ability, outstanding wingspan (6’9”) and impressive leaping ability (36-inch vertical jump),
Skinner may shift to strong safety in the NFL. Called by the coaching staff the team’s “hardest worker,” the defensive back
continued to add bulk to his muscular frame during the 2009 off-season.
Combining that power with his speed, quickness and field intelligence, Skinner more than held his own when the
opposition challenged him often in 2008. During his junior year, opposing quarterbacks attempted 59 passes into his
territory, but managed to complete just 18 of those tosses for 172 yards and no touchdowns.
Skinner allowed just 2.92 yards per pass attempt that year, the lowest figure of any NCAA FBS safety for the season. His
primary pass coverage assignment managed to grab just eight of those pass completions (44.44 percent) for 55 yards, as
his hard-hitting press coverage saw him reroute/jam those targets on 36 incomplete pass attempts.
To further illustrate Skinner’s value to his team, one also needs to consider his punt coverage skills. During his last three
seasons with that unit, he managed to down twelve Terrapins punts inside the opposition’s 10-yard line, in addition to
recording a total of twenty stops for the punt coverage squad and ten more for the kickoff coverage team. When pressed
into emergency duty as a kickoff returner, he averaged 17.36 yards on eleven attempts.
Skinner was a standout, versatile performer while lettering three times for the Boca Ciega High School football team. He
competed as a quarterback, cornerback and linebacker, leading the Bogies to the district title as a senior. That year, he
garnered Pinellas County Player of the Year by the St. Petersburg Times, as the team captain also added All-Sun Coast,
All-Conference and Pinellas County All-Star accolades.
The team's Defensive Player of the Year as an outside linebacker his sophomore season, Skinner received All-Southeast
Region recognition from Prep Star. Operating in the squad’s run-oriented offense, he rushed for 917 yards on 97 carries
with 13 touchdowns and completed 32-of-61 passes for 382 yards and six scores in his final campaign. In his team’s only
playoff victory, he rushed for 200 yards. As a senior, Skinner also returned an interception and a punt for touchdowns in
2004. He also lettered twice as a guard and small forward for the Boca Ciega High basketball team.
Skinner enrolled at Maryland in 2005. He performed on the scout team as a wide receiver and defensive back, twice
earning Scout Team Player of the Week honors. He was also chosen the Terps’ Defensive Scout Team Player of the
Year.
In 2006, Skinner appeared in eight games, moving to the defensive backfield from the receivers unit prior to the season
opener. He did not record any statistics, spending most of his time competing on special teams.
As a junior, he appeared in 13 games, as he recorded eleven of his twelve tackles (9 solos) on the special team coverage
squads. Five of his hits came for the punt unit and six other on the kickoff coverage squad. He also caused a fumble on
an opposing punt return that was recovered by Maryland, leading to a Terrapins touchdown drive. Early in the year and in
the Emerald Bowl, he handled kickoff return duties, gaining 176 yards on 10 attempts (17.6 avg).
Skinner’s stellar preseason performance earned him the Terps’ starting assignment at free safety entering the 2008
season. In 11 starts, he finished sixth on the team with 63 tackles (32 solos), including four stops behind the line of
scrimmage. He had one kickoff return for 15 yards and delivered nine hits on special teams while downing five punts
inside the opponents’ 10-yard line. He also had his first career interception to go with three pass deflections and two
forced fumbles.
Skinner earned All-ACC honorable mention as a senior. He started all 12 games at free safety, delivering 67 tackles (35
solos) with three pass deflections and an interception. Only 26 of 64 passes targeted into his area were completed by the
opposition.
CAREER NOTES

career tackles (76 solos), as he added 4.5 stops for losses of 11 yards and three forced fumbles…Also deflected six
passes and had two interceptions for 6 yards in returns…On special team coverage, he recorded 109 total points,
including making 12 stops on punt return coverage and eight more on kickoff coverage, as he broke up the wedge 10
times, was the first player down field on kickoffs 14 times and delivered 11 knockdowns for the kickoff unit…Downed nine
Maryland punts inside the opposition’s red zone, including eight inside the 10-yard line and returned eleven kickoffs for
191 yards (17.36 avg)…Led the ACC with 18 third-down stops as a junior…Allowed opposing quarterbacks to complete
just 30.51 percent of passes targeted into his area (18-of-59) as a junior, holding them to an average of 2.92 yards per

complete only 18 of 59 passes targeted into his area (30.51 percent, lowest completion percentage allowed by any FBS
safety in 2008) for 172 yards (9.56 ypc) and no TDs…His average of 2.92 yards per pass attempt allowed led the Division
I safeties and his 36 passes that he jammed/rerouted receivers on (resulting in incompletions) was also the highest total
by a Division I safety in 2008…Made 18 stops on third-down pass plays (tops in the conference), killing opposing potential
scoring drives…Registered 43 plays vs. the opposition’s ground game, resulting in those opponents totaling 219 yards
(5.09 ypc) with no TDs and seven first downs, as he delivered a pair of third-down stops vs. the run…Led the ACC with a
total of nine stops on fourth-down plays…On special teams, Skinner recorded a league-high 61 points (second in the
major college ranks), as he returned one kickoff for 15 yards, made two tackles for the kickoff coverage unit and seven
more for the punt coverage squad, leading the major college ranks by downing six Maryland punts inside the opposition’s
10-yard line (including two at the 5-yard line, one at the 3-yard line and another at the 1-yard line), causing a fumble on
one of those punt returns that was recovered by Maryland to set up a Terrapins touchdown drive…Also had four

AMARI SPIEVEY
Cornerback
#19
5:10.7-195
Middleton, Connecticut
Iowa Central Community College
Xavier High School
OVERVIEW
Spievey possesses an innate ability to attack the ball in flight. He is a physical pass defender with the speed to stay with
his assignment throughout the route’s progression in man coverage. He also has the good hand usage and physicality to
play bump-and-run with the receiver. He has that timing, reach and natural hands to elevate over the receiver in attempts
to get to the ball and snatch it out of the air.
In three seasons of collegiate football, Spievey has registered 13 interceptions for 369 yards in returns, an average of
27.62 yards per runback. Three of those INTs resulted in touchdowns. Fourteen of his 23 pass deflections came on third
or fourth-down snaps. His press coverage skills were greatly displayed during his junior campaign, as he rerouted
receivers away from 35 passes targeted in his area.
At Xavier High School, Spievey was named the Connecticut Player of the Year and was a two-time All-State selection by
both the New Haven Register and Hartford Courant. He led the team to the state championship as a senior and closed out
his career as the school’s all-time leading rusher, amassing 3,606 yards and 50 touchdowns. He also scored eight
touchdowns on 53 receptions for 858 yards. He also totaled 87 tackles and 16 interceptions, including two returned for
touchdowns during his career. He returned three punts and two kickoffs for touchdowns at Xavier. During the team’s
championship season, he produced seven interceptions and 24 tackles as a cornerback and rushed for 1,642 yards and
26 touchdowns as a tailback, leading the squad to an undefeated season.
Spievey arrived at the University of Iowa as a four-star prospect in 2006. He spent the season adjusting to full-time
defensive duties on the scout team. He enrolled at Iowa Central Community College in 2007 to improve his academic
record. During the 2007 season, Spievey earned junior college All-American first-team honors at Iowa Central. The All-
Region and All-Iowa Community College Athletic Conference choice recorded seven interceptions for 242 yards in
returns, including two touchdowns. He also excelled on special teams, blocking four kicks while also returning two kickoffs
for scores.
Spievey re-enrolled at Iowa for the 2008 season. His arrival made a great impact on the Hawkeye defense, as the team
th
ranked 13 in the nation in total defense (291.31 ypg) and fifth in scoring defense (13.00 ppg). He contributed 68 tackles
(44 solos) with six pass deflections and four interceptions, as Iowa placed fifth in the NCAA in pass efficiency defense
(98.32).
The following season, Spievey helped the Iowa defense become one of the premier defenses in college football. They

DARRELL STUCKEY
Strong/Free Safety
University of Kansas Jayhawks
#25
5:11.4-205
Kansas City, Kansas
Washington High School
OVERVIEW
Stuckey has cat-like moves and excellent quickness to handle man coverage assignments, but he’s also a capable run
stuffer. A starter since late in his freshman year, his versatility makes him that much more valuable.
Stuckey’s outstanding leaping ability and timing make him a disruptive force when battling with receivers for the ball in
flight. He has defended 26 passes in 45 games, including eight interceptions. As a senior, the strong safety was also very
proficient at pressing and jamming receivers, keeping his assignments away from 30 pass attempts.
Stuckey has always excelled at the safety position. At Washington High School, he was an All-State free safety as a
senior. He added All-Metro honors on both sides of the ball as a junior and senior. He was named metro Offensive Player
of the Year and team MVP for the Wildcats in each of his last two seasons and helped lead the team to three-straight KCK
League championships from 2002-04.
Stuckey combined to record 176 tackles and had nine interceptions on defense while scoring 32 career touchdowns. He
was selected to participate in the 2005 Kansas Shrine Bowl. He also lettered in basketball, baseball and track, earning All-
State honors on the baseball diamond.
In 2005, Stuckey enrolled at Kansas, red-shirting while competing on the scout team. In 2006, he played in seven games,
starting the final four contests at free safety. The red-shirt freshman posted 32 tackles (27 solos) with a fumble recovery
and three pass break-ups.
In 2007, Stuckey started all 13 games at free safety, ranking fourth on the team with 72 tackles (36 solos). He made a pair
of stops for loss, recovered two fumbles and batted down six passes. He also had a pair of interceptions for the Orange
Bowl-bound Jayhawks.
Stuckey’s shift to strong safety in 2008 saw the junior become the only Jayhawk to receive All-Big Twelve Conference
first-team honors. He placed second on the team with a career-high 98 tackles (60 solos) that two forced fumbles and a
fumble recovery. He broke up seven passes and intercepted five others, averaging 17.7 yards on several kickoff returns.
The play that stands out most from his junior season occurred in the Louisiana Tech game. Receiver Phillip Livas, known
for his 4.3 speed was run down by Stuckey from behind at the KU 2-yard line to preserve KU’s 29-0 victory.
Despite playing for the nation’s 96th-ranked pass defense (out of 119 teams), Stuckey again garnered All-Big Twelve first-
team honors. He started all 12 games at strong safety, pacing the Jayhawks with 93 tackles (63 solos), adding a sack and
a forced fumble. He had one interception and returned fourteen kickoffs for a 25.57-yard average.

EARL THOMAS
#12
5:10.2-208
Orange, Texas
West Orange-Stark High School
OVERVIEW
One of the youngest players eligible for the 2010 NFL Draft, Thomas is also one of the most intriguing prospects. A
collegiate strong safety, he has shown the man coverage skills to make a successful move to cornerback. With his natural
hands and ball-hawking skills, along with playmaking ability, Thomas could be the perfect solution for a team looking for a
game-changing type of free safety.
The rapid improvement of the Longhorns’ secondary last year was spurred by Thomas’ standout play. The third-year
sophomore proved to be very capable of making the big plays, especially when it came to competing for the ball.
Thomas had a banner sophomore campaign, as the consensus All-American set the school season-record with eight
interceptions. Only Josh Bullocks of Nebraska (10 in 2001) had more interceptions in a season in Big Twelve Conference
annals. His two interceptions for touchdown returns tied the school annual mark and his 149 return yards placed second
in Longhorn season annals.
In addition to his interceptions, he deflected 10 other passes and rerouted receivers away from 24 other pass attempts.
Opponents averaged just 4.7 yards per pass completion in his area, as he killed numerous scoring drives, making 19 of
his plays on third down. He also excelled on the kickoff coverage unit, adding seven more tackles playing for the special
team squad.
Thomas has always excelled. At West Orange-Stark High School, he earned All-State honors during his three-year
gridiron career, competing as a defensive back, receiver and tailback. He helped his team to a 24-2 record over his final
two seasons. He was tabbed second-team Class 3A All-state by the Associated Press and third-team All-State by the
Texas Sports Writers Association at receiver as a senior. Named the District 21-3A MVP, Thomas recorded 42 tackles
and five interceptions, adding more than 1,200 all-purpose yards and 25 touchdowns (13 rushing, 12 receiving) on offense
to lead West Orange-Stark to an 11-1 record and the 3A regional finals in his final season.
Thomas was selected second-team 3A All-State by the Associated Press as a junior. He rushed for almost 900 yards and
12 touchdowns with over 300 yards receiving and two scores, helping West Orange-Stark to a 13-1 record in advancing to
the 3A state semifinals that year. For his prep career, Thomas recorded 112 tackles with 11 interceptions, two kickoff
returns for touchdowns and two punt returns for scores. He also had 1,850 rushing yards and 2,140 receiving yards.
Thomas also lettered in basketball, baseball and track and field, reaching the playoffs in all four sports as a junior. The
two-time letterman in basketball averaged 10.2 points per game. He lettered twice in baseball, playing centerfield and
shortstop, hitting over .300. In track, he added three more letters, participating in relays and long jump. He was also part
of a 4x200m relay team that reached the state finals as a junior. He is also a musician, as he plays the piano for his
church choir in Austin, and is no stranger to the saxophone.
Thomas was the prized recruit from the Texas 2006 class, but did not play with the varsity that season, retaining freshman
eligibility. He burst on to the scene in 2007, earning first-team Freshman All-American honors from the Football Writers
Association of America, College Football News and The Sporting News. He was tabbed honorable mention All-Big Twelve
Conference and named UT’s Most Productive Defensive Performer three times.
That season, Thomas started all 13 games at strong safety. He recorded 70 tackles with three stops for loss, making 15 of
his stops on third-down snaps. He caused four fumbles, deflected 11 passes and picked off two others. He also excelled
on special teams, blocking a punt vs. Florida Atlantic in his debut, adding seven tackles (six solos) on the coverage unit.
As a third-year sophomore, Thomas was a finalist for the Jim Thorpe Award (nation's top defensive back). He was named
first-team All-American by The NFL Draft Report, Walter Camp Football Foundation, American Football Coaches
Association, Associated Press and Football Writers Association of America. The unanimous first-team All-Big Twelve
selection was twice named Big Twelve Defensive Player of the Week.
Thomas registered 65 tackles (46 solos) with 4.5 stops for loss, ten pass deflections and a school season-record eight
interceptions. He registered seven solo tackles for the kick coverage unit and five more (4 solos) on the punt coverage
squad, adding 54 yards on three punt returns.
After a tough loss to Alabama in the BCS Championship, Thomas announced that he was leaving Texas for the National
Football League. “I talked about it with my family and we thought this was for the best,” Thomas said. “I look at my family’s
situation and some of their financial issues. I want to provide anything they need and I don’t want my mother to work
anymore.”
Thomas’ father, Earl, and mother, Debbie, live with his grandparents in Orange after their home was destroyed by
Hurricane Rita. “A house for them will be one of the first things I purchase,” Thomas said. “There is no doubt in my mind I
am ready. I am ready to make a life for myself.”
Thomas said he will finish his college education and earn a degree. “I have to do that to make Mom happy,” Thomas
added

KEVIN THOMAS
Cornerback
#15
6:00.0-192
Oxnard, California
Rio Mesa High School
OVERVIEW
Thomas was a welcome addition to the starting lineup in 2009. The fifth-year senior arrived at Southern California as a
highly-touted in-state cornerback prospect and fulfilled that early promise. Throughout his career, Thomas has had a
knack for breaking up pass attempts, deflecting 21 passes, including 18 combined as a junior and senior. He also
intercepted three passes, including one he returned 46 yards for a touchdown vs. Arizona State in 2008.
As a senior at Rio Mesa High School, Thomas helped his team to an 11-1 overall record while he collected 81 tackles and
five interceptions on defense, and 27 receptions for 430 yards (15.9 avg) and five touchdowns on offense. The highly-
touted prep cornerback earned All-American accolades from Super Prep, Prep Star, and Tom Lemming.
He was named to the Prep Star Top 100 Dream Team, Students Sports Top 100, Rivals 100, Long Beach Press-
Telegram Best in the West first-team, Tacoma News Tribune Western 100, Orange County Register Fab 15 first-team,
Los Angeles Daily News All-Area first-team, and Cal-Hi Sports All-State second-team. The Los Angeles Times recognized
him as the All-Ventura/North Coast Back of the Year.
Thomas was given four-star ratings from both Rivals.com and Scout.com, as each recruiting service ranked him as the
nation’s seventh-best cornerback prospect. Thomas enrolled at Southern California in 2005 and played in nine games. He
backed up Justin Wyatt at left cornerback and also performed on special teams, managing seven tackles and two pass
deflections for the year.
Thomas was slated to be a key contributor at cornerback in 2006, but played in four games due to several injuries. He
finished the year with ten tackles (9 solos), a pass deflection and a fumble recovery before breaking his foot against
Arizona State. He missed the 2007 season due to shoulder surgery.
Thomas returned to the playing field in 2008. He appeared in all 13 games as a backup to Cary Harris at left cornerback,
and as the defense’s nickel back. In the team’s fifth game of the season, a 28-0 rout of Arizona State, he intercepted a
pass by QB Rudy Carpenter and took it 46 yards for a touchdown. He started the next two contests vs. Washington State
and Arizona. Thomas finished the season with 15 tackles (11 solo), including two sacks. He added seven pass deflections
and led the Trojans with three interceptions, returning one for a touchdown.
Thomas earned the starting strong-side cornerback position as a senior and played all 13 games. He ranked seventh on
the team with 57 tackles, including one sack, 2.5 tackles for loss, and two forced fumbles. He led the team with eleven
pass deflections as he ranked fifth in the league with an average of 0.85 passes defended per game. That performance
earned him All-Pac 10 Conference second-team honors.

ALTERRAUN VERNER
Cornerback
University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) Bruins
#1
5:10.1-186
Carson, California
Mayfair High School
OVERVIEW
The unquestioned leader of the Bruins’ secondary, Verner’s ability to consistently come up with the big play is evidenced
by his 42 pass deflections, three forced fumbles, 10 tackles for loss and 13 interceptions during his career. Verner’s four
INT-TDs is UCLA’s all-time record and is just one shy of the NCAA FBS career record. His average of 27.46 yards gained
per interception return set an FBS record. His total of 55 passes defended (13 interceptions, 42 break-ups) rank sixth in
major college history and second in the Pac-10 annals, as his 357 yards gained via interception returns is the Bruins’ all-
time record and second-highest total by a Pac-10 defender.
Verner also excelled in the classroom. The speedy cover corner garnered Academic All-Pac 10 and school Honor Roll
recognition in each of his last three seasons. He has served as a peer tutor to his high school football team in the subjects
of math and history and is a motivational speaker to city youth teams on the importance of staying in school. He added
Academic All-District VIII accolades as a junior and is concluding his senior campaign with a cumulative 3.08 grade point
average in Mathematics/Applied Sciences.
At Mayfair High School, Verner excelled in football and track. He competed as a wide receiver, defensive back, linebacker
and on special teams, earning a three-star prospect rating from Scout.com, a recruiting service that rated him the 58th-
best cornerback in the nation. He was selected the 2005 City of Lakewood Athlete of the Year, adding All-State third-
team, Long Beach Press-Telegram Dream Team, All-CIF Southern Section second-team and All-CIF-SS Division VI and
Academic All-CIF first-team honors.
As a sophomore, Verner earned Academic All-Suburban League honors. On the field, he had fifteen receptions for 250
yards and one TD and was credited with 25 tackles on defense. During his junior season, he was an All-CIF SS Division
VI first-team choice on offense. He pulled down 32 passes for 705 yards with 11 TDs. The Los Angeles Times All-Region
team and team Most Valuable Offensive Player and Most Valuable Defensive Back/Linebacker of the Year collected 56
tackles with two INTs and thirteen 13 deflections during that season.
Verner led his team to a 10-2 record during his final season, as he caught 50 passes for 907 yards and 13 touchdowns,
recorded 56 tackles with four interceptions, including one that he returned 102 yards for a touchdown, as he gained 407
yards with a touchdown on seven kickoff returns and 100 yards on four punt returns.
The team Most Valuable Offensive Player of the Year and Most Valuable Defensive Back of the Year was selected to play
in the Cali-Florida Bowl and Shrine All-Star Game, in addition to being named to the California squad that competed in the
2006 Down Under Bowl in Australia. The team co-captain added Scholar-Athlete honors with a 4.17 grade point average.
Verner lettered four times in track and field. He competed in the high jump, pole vault, 100m, 4x100-meter relay, 4x400
relay, 110m hurdles, 300m intermediate hurdles, long jump, 800m run and 4x200m relay events, earning team Most
Valuable Performer honors as a freshman. He served as team co-captain as a sophomore and junior, winning the league
titles in the high jump, 4x100m relay and 4x400m relay. He also finished second in the 110-meter high hurdles and high
jump (6’2”). As a senior, Verner had career-bests of 6’6” in the high jump, 20’10” in the long jump, 10.7 in the 100m and
39.70 in the 300m intermediate hurdles.
Verner enrolled at UCLA in 2006, making an instant impact while serving as the team’s nickel back. He earned Freshman
All-American honors from College Football News and Scripps/FWAA, in addition to being selected the Pac-10
Conference’s co-Freshman of the Year. He became the first Bruin since 1994 to return an interception for a touchdown,
accomplishing that feat in his collegiate debut vs. Utah.
He added another interception return for a score vs. Arizona, becoming the first Bruins freshman and just the sixth player
overall in school history to score twice via interception returns in the same season. That year, Verner finished fourth on
the team with 59 tacklers (42 solos), adding 68 yards on three kickoff returns and 18 yards on an advanced fumble
recovery. He also caused a fumble and broke up six passes.
In 2007, Verner received All-Pac 10 Conference honorable mention, as he started 10-of-13 games at right cornerback. He
was a first-team All-American, All-District VII and All-Pac 10 academic choice. He ranked 11th in the nation with an
average of 1.46 passes defended per game, as he broke up a team-high 15 passes and intercepted three others,
returning one for a touchdown vs. California. He also placed fourth on the squad with 75 tackles (53 solos).
In 2008, Verner started every game for the Bruins, earning fourth-team All-American and first-team All-Pac 10 and
Academic All-Pac 10 Conference honors. The Thorpe Award nominee (given to the nation’s top defensive back)
registered 73 tackles (52 solos), second-best on the team. He picked off two passes and deflected 18 others, leading the
nation with an average of 1.67 passes defended per game.
Voted team captain prior to his senior year, Verner was chosen Associated Press All-American third-team, adding
Academic All-Pac 10 and All-Pac 10 first-team honors. He generated 158 yards via five interception returns, scoring for
the fourth time during his career with one of those thefts, setting the school career record. He broke up three passes and
recovered a fumble in the end zone for a score. His five total TDs at UCLA led all active defenders in the league.

DONOVAN WARREN
#6
5:11.4-193
Long Beach, California
Long Beach Polytechnic High School
OVERVIEW
An emerging talent who is an improving open field tackler, Warren shows the proper hand technique and punch to easily
reroute receivers. He has the timing, leaping ability and ability to track the ball in flight that could translate to free safety at
the NFL level. Playing in a scheme that concentrated on loose coverage that allowed a big cushion, Warren displays the
short area burst to come forward in run support and keep receivers from gaining much yardage from underneath patterns.
Warren’s football lineage runs deep His godfather is former Southern California All-American and All-Pro safety Mark
Carrier, who roamed the sidelines for the Chicago Bears (1990-96), Detroit Lions (1997-99) and Washington Redskins
(2000). Carrier brings a wealth of knowledge, not only as a player, but on the sidelines. He was an assistant coach at
Arizona State University (2004-05) and the Baltimore Ravens (2006-09) before joining Rex Ryan on his staff with the New
York Jets (2010-present). His uncle, Chuckie Miller, a former standout at Polytechnic High, went on to star at UCLA
before playing defensive back for the Indianapolis Colts (1988) and Detroit Lions. His father, Alvin, was a former receiver
at New Mexico State (1987-90), where he ranks eighth in school history with 130 receptions for 1,780 yards.
Warren hails from West Coast powerhouse Long Beach Polytechnic High School. He was named to the 2006 All-USA
second-team by USA Today, adding EA Sports second-team All-American honors at cornerback. He was rated a five-star
prospect, the nation's fourth-best cornerback and the 22nd overall player nationally according to Scout.com.
He was also a five-star prospect, the fourth-ranked athlete in California and the third-best cornerback in the nation
according to Rivals.com. He was rated eighth at his position in the nation in the Velocity-Prep Star Top 250 team and was
a member of the Prep Star-Velocity 100 Dream Team. He was also selected as a state of California Dream Team
member, All-Moore League and All-CIF Pac-V Division first-team performer. Warren was named to the Long Beach Press
Telegram's Best of the West and the Los Angeles Times All-Star Football Team. He earned All-League, All-Area, Student

KYLE WILSON
Boise State University Broncos
#1
5:10.0-194
Piscataway, New Jersey
Piscataway High School
OVERVIEW
Since arriving at Boise State and stepping into the starting lineup the second half of the 2006 season, Wilson locked down
half the coverage field for the Broncos. The second-team All-American was a member of two undefeated teams and
carried a string of 45 consecutive starts, the longest active streak among Boise State players. Wilson was the leader of a
2009 Broncos secondary that ranked 21st nationally, allowing just 179.86 passing yards per game. The left cornerback
has outstanding athleticism. His quick feet and smooth hips allow him to stick on receivers through routes, and his agility
allows him to break on balls in a hurry.
Wilson’s speed has made him a star in the return game as well, as his average of 12.59 yards per punt return ranks as
the fourth-highest career mark in school history and is fifth among active NCAA career leaders. In 2008, he returned a
punt 90 yards for a touchdown vs. Fresno state, the fourth-longest punt return in school history, as well as a 79-yard
touchdown return vs. Idaho, ranking as the fifth-longest.
Wilson has also been a model student in the classroom. In high school, he was a member of the National Honor Society.
At Boise State, Wilson earned Academic All-WAC honors for four consecutive seasons.
At Piscataway High School, Wilson helped his team to three consecutive state champions and a 33-3 overall record while
being named MVP of the New Jersey state championship game as a junior and senior. The three-year starter excelled as
a wide receiver, earning first-team All-State, All-Area, All-County, All-Conference and All-Division honors as a senior.
Wilson hauled in 33 passes for 622 yards and 11 touchdowns and added 375 yards on 55 carries. As a cornerback, he
snagged five INTs for 111 yards and a touchdown and recovered one fumble for a TD. He returned 17 punts for 270 yards
and two touchdowns (15.89 avg). He excelled in the classroom as a member of the National Honor Society.
Wilson was given a two star rating by Scout.com. He chose to sign with Boise State in February of 2005 over offers from
Iowa and Rutgers. He spent the 2005 season playing for the scout team, retaining freshman eligibility.
The following season, Wilson appeared in 10 games, starting the final five, and was named honorable mention Freshman
All-American by The Sporting News. He made a name for himself early, intercepting a pass and returning it 16 yards vs.
Hawaii in his first career game. He registered 10 tackles in Boise State’s storybook win over Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl,
capping off the Broncos’ undefeated season. He also earned All-WAC academic honors.
As a sophomore, Wilson became a full-time starter at left cornerback. He finished the season with 41 tackles, eight pass
deflections, two tackles for loss, one sack, and a blocked kick. He had a season-high six tackles vs. East Carolina in the
Hawaii Bowl. He earned second-team All-WAC honors, as well as academic All-WAC for the second straight season.
Wilson continued improving as a junior and enjoyed a great statistical season. He ranked second in the conference and
28th nationally with five interceptions while deflecting ten other passes. His total of fifteen passes defended tied for
eighteenth in the major college ranks. He earned first-team All-WAC honors at cornerback after being named to the
Bronko Nagurski Trophy watch list, given annually to the nation’s best defensive player.
Wilson added second-team All-WAC honors as a punt returner, as he returned 33 punts for 470 yards and three
touchdowns. He earned WAC Special Teams Player of the Week the final week of the season after piling up 136 yards on
three punt returns vs. Fresno State. Wilson also garnered academic All-WAC honors for the third straight season.
Wilson returned as a senior with much hype after being named to the preseason watch lists for the Chuck Bednarik,
Bronko Nagurski, and Jim Thorpe Awards. The second-team All-American collected a career-high 43 tackles (31 solos)
and ranked third on the team with three interceptions. He returned two punts for touchdowns with a 27-yard return vs. San
Jose State and a 71-yarder vs. Idaho, as he earned WAC Defensive Player of the Week honors vs. San Jose State.
The senior cornerback ended his career on a high note vs. Texas Christian in the Fiesta Bowl, recording three tackles
including a sack on Andy Dalton on which he forced him to fumble as Boise State capped off another undefeated season.
The first-team All-WAC choice was again selected to the league’s academic squad, marking the fourth straight season he
has received the award.

MAJOR WRIGHT
Free Safety
#21
5:11.4-206
Miramar, Florida
St. Thomas Aquinas
OVERVIEW
Since earning his way into the starting lineup as a freshman, Wright has been a staple in the secondary for some of the
greatest defensive teams in Florida history. Tough and durable, he played in all 41 games of his collegiate career with 33
starts.
Gators head coach Urban Meyer offers high praise of Wright, saying “He’s got a little bit of the Tebow effect on the
defense. He’s an extremely high character guy that football means the world to him. He’s always where he’s supposed to
be academically. If you get yourself a whole bunch of Major Wrights, you’re playing excellent defense.”
Wright has the leadership qualities that defy his age. He has been a presence in the locker room since arriving on campus
in 2007, as even the older plays sought him out for advice. Once his freshman season was completed, he served as a
mentor for many of the defenders from Florida’s 2008 recruiting class. That was the major reason he was selected to the
team’s Leadership Committee that season. With his speed and physicality, his ability to read and diagnose plays make for
an impressive package of skills. In 2009, he picked off three passes and knocked down two more.
He is heavily involved in the Gators’ community program, often spending his spare time at one charity event or another.
He delighted the 2008 Gator Charity Challenge crowd by doing several back and front flips. He was also a member of the
National Football Foundation’s “Play it Smart” program.
Wright was a three-year starter at safety for prep football powerhouse St. Thomas Aquinas High School. He earned first-
team All-County and All-State honors during both his junior and senior seasons. As a senior, he helped lead his team to
the state title game while collecting 72 tackles, three interceptions, four tackles for loss and two blocked kicks. After
completing his final season, he started for the East team in the prestigious U.S. Army All-American game and was
nominated for the National U.S. Army Player of the Year Award. During his junior year, he collected 58 tackles, six
interceptions, three blocked punts and 10 tackles for a loss. He was given the highest rating of five stars by Scout.com,
who ranked him as fourth best safety prospect in the country. Rivals.com graded Wright a four-star prospect and listed
him as the second-best safety in the country, the 43rd overall prospect and the sixth-best recruit from Florida.
He enrolled at Florida in 2007 and immediately began making an impact in the secondary for the defending national
champs. He played as a reserve behind Kyle Jackson until making his first career start vs. Auburn, a game in which he
collected seven tackles (six solo) and forced a fumble. Wright started seven of the final nine games of the season
including the Capital One Bowl. He finished third on the team with 67 tackles (47 solos).
As a freshman Wright ,forced a team-high four fumbles, the most by a Florida player since Guss Scott had five in 2003
and the most by any Florida freshman since the school began keeping track of the statistic in 1982. He also had one
fumble recovery. Wright also deflected two passes and had one interception for a defense that ranked 41st nationally,
allowing 361.85 yards in total offense per game. He earned Freshman All-SEC honors by the league’s coaches as well as
SEC Freshman Academic Honor Roll. He capped off a brilliant first year by intercepting a pass and forcing a fumble while
collecting nine tackles (six solo) vs. Michigan in the Capital One Bowl.
As Wright and his teammates gained experience, the defense greatly improved. The following year the eventual national
champion Gators boasted a defense that ranked ninth in the country allowing 285.29 yards in total offense per game,
including 179.86 yards passing to rank 20th. Wright started all 14 games as a sophomore for the eventual national
champs, ranking third on the team with 66 tackles (36 solo) and second with four interceptions. In the season opener vs.
Hawaii, Wright intercepted a pass and took it 32 yards for his only career touchdown.
He helped the Gators to a national championship by registering nine tackles (five solo) and a pass deflection vs.
Oklahoma in the title game. In that contest, Wright prevented the Sooners from scoring just before the end of the first half
by intercepting a pass at the goal line.
In his final season, the defense again saw an increase in productivity. As a unit they allowed just 252.57 yards in total
offense per game to rank fourth nationally. Wright started 12-of-14 contests and racked up 32 tackles (28 solos) while
finishing second on the team with three interceptions. He was the last line of defense for a Gators’ defense that led the
nation in pass defense, allowing just 167.31 yards per game.

Centreville, Virginia
Westfield High School
OVERVIEW
The strong-legged direction punter has manned the position for the Hokies the last three years after patiently waiting two
seasons for an opportunity to play. The younger brother of former Florida State punter, Chris Hall, Bowden shows
excellent ability to angle his punts towards the sidelines. Younger brother, Grant, red-shirted at Virginia Tech in 2009 and
is expected to replace Brent as the Hokies’ punter in 2010.
In 41 games, 72 of Bowden’s 214 attempts (33.64 percent have been downed inside the 20-yard line. The senior punter
also shows a powerful leg to air out his kicks. He registered 40 punts (18.69 percent) that gained at least 50 yards since
taking over punting duties in 2007. He had 73 of his boots returned for an average of 9.3 yards, with 43 other punts
resulting in fair catches by the opposition.
Bowden closed out his career with a 36.37-yard net average. His gross average of 42.16 yards per punt attempt rank
second in school history. He is one of just four players that punted more than 200 times (214) in a career for the Hokies
and joins Vinnie Burns (9,387 yards, 2001-04) as the only Tech specialists to generate over 9,000 yards punting for the
university. Among NCAA major college active specialists, he ranks ninth for amount of punts (214), sixth for yards
generated (9,022) and thirteenth for gross punt average (42.16).
Bowden was rated the nation’s fourth-best punter by Scout.com during his senior season at Westfield High School. He
was named first-team All-State by the Associated Press and the Virginia High School Coaches Association, adding first-
team All-Concorde District, All-Northern Region and All-Metro honors by The Washington Post.
Bowden averaged 44.1 yards on 29 punts with a net of 37.13 yards, including a long of 58 yards in his final season. He
had 16 punts downed inside the 20-yard line, nine downed inside the 10-yard line, five inside the 5-yard line and eight fair
catches. As a junior, he averaged 40 yards, with a 38-yard net and a long of 64 yards, along with 11 fair catches and
seven downed inside the 20.
As a prepster, Bowden was named the MVP of the Virginia Kicking Camp in 2004 with a 47.7 yard average. At the 2004
University of Michigan Camp, he finished second for MVP honors and won Most Consistent Player accolades, as he had
the most punts downed inside the 20 and highest single punt hang time (4.95 seconds).
In his first two seasons at Virginia Tech (2005-06), Bowden red-shirted his first year and while he dressed in 2006, he did
not see any action behind incumbent, Nic Schmitt. With Schmitt having graduated, Bowden seized the opportunity to kick
in 2007. He ranked 24th in the nation with an average of 42.52 yards on a school record-tying 88 attempts, as his 3,742
yards generated established a new Tech annual record.
th
In 2008, he ranked 58 nationally with a 40.36-yard average, and 24 of his attempts were downed inside the 20-yard line.
Bowden had a banner final campaign. The All-ACC first-team choice led the conference and ranked 14th in the nation,
averaging 43.77 yards on 57 punts for 2,495 yards. He had 14 kicks for 50 yards or longer and just 22 of his boots were
returned, as Tech finished second in the league with a 37.6-yard net average.

MATTHEW DODGE
Punter/Kickoff Specialist
#42
6:01.4-224
Morehead City, North Carolina
Appalachian State University
West Carteret High School
OVERVIEW
Not only has Dodge excelled as a punter, he has also proven to be one of the elite kickoff specialists in the collegiate
ranks. He has also filled in as a place-kicker for field goals and placements when needed. Dodge has also shown no fear
running with the football, when his protection coverage breaks down. After uncorking a punt, it is commonplace to see
Dodge racing down field and hurling his body at the returner in attempts to make the tackle.
Combining his statistics from his freshman season at Appalachian State and his three years with the Pirates, Dodge ranks
first among all active punters for yardage (11,209) and second for most attempts (261). His FBS punting average of 43.56
yards ranks second on that national active list (seventh overall with a 42.95 average).
Dodge’s 220 punts at East Carolina rank fourth in school history and fifth in Conference USA annals. His 9,583 yards
punting during his time with the Pirates rank third on the ECU career-record list and second among the league’s punters.
At West Carteret High School, he was a two-time All-State kicker and punter, lettering three times. He was rated one of
the top ten punters in the nation by The Gridiron Report and participated in the 2004 North Carolina/South Carolina Shrine
Bowl and the North Carolina East/West All-Star Game. He also received academic achievement honors as a junior and
senior and was named Class President as a freshman and senior.
Dodge enrolled at Appalachian State in 2005, seeing action in 12 of 15 games. He punted 41 times for a 39.66-yard
average and had just 13 of those kicks returned vs. him, finishing with a 35.20-net yard average. After the season, he left
the university and enrolled at East Carolina in 2006, but did not join the football program.
In January, 2007, Dodge officially became a member of the ECU football team. He was anointed special teams captain,
as he ranked fourth in Conference USA with a 41.34-yard average on 80 punts, the most by an ECU kicker since the 1968
season. He had 24 of his attempts downed inside the 20-yard line and 16 that went for distances of at least 50 yards, but
the team’s coverage unit struggled, as two of his kicks were returned for touchdowns.
Dodge bulked up in the offseason, coming back stronger than ever in 2008. He earned All-American honorable mention,
as he ranked second in the conference and 14th nationally with a 43.93-yard average on 73 attempts. He helped the team
lead Conference USA and rank tenth in the FBS ranks with a 37.86-yard net average. He put 20 of his kicks inside the 20-
yard line and had 25 punts for 50 yards or longer. Only 26 of his boots were returned by the opposition, as he twice
tackled returners on those runbacks.
Dodge was named to seven different All-American teams as a senior. The Moorhead City native led the conference and
ranked second in the nation with a 45.81-yard average, third best on the league’s season-record chart. He had 26 of his
67 boots returned, helping ECU lead Conference USA while finishing seventh in the nation with a 39.12-yard net average.

ROBERT MALONE
Punter
California State University, Fresno Bulldogs
#42
6:01.5-235
Riverside, California
Martin Luther King High School
OVERVIEW
Punting talent runs in Malone’s family, as he is the cousin of the Seattle Seahawks’ Tom Malone. The All-WAC performer
has consistently given the Bulldogs the edge when the offense stalls. On 119 career punts, Malone pinned opponents
inside the 20-yard line 44 times (36.97 percent) while recording just 12 touchbacks.
Malone prepped at Martin Luther King High School, where he was a good all-around athlete that played tight end and
defensive end in addition to handling punting duties. He averaged 39.2 yards per punt with a career long of 59 yards. The
Fresno State coaching staff liked his overall athleticism, and decided to offer him a scholarship.
Malone enrolled at Fresno State in 2006 and started the first two games of the year before suffering an injury. He finished
averaging 37.20 yards on 20 punts with a long of 53 yards, and pinned opponents inside the 20-yard line five times.
As a sophomore in 2007, Malone began the season as the starting punter and averaged 36.0 yards on two punts before
being relegated to backup duties behind Kyle Zimmerman. He served as the team’s holder for all 13 games.
The following year, Malone reclaimed his spot as the team’s top punter and averaged 42.80 yards on a career-high 54
punts. The specialist helped punt the defense in great position, as he pinned opponents inside the 20-yard line on 20
occasions with just five touchbacks. He earned WAC Special Teams Player of the Week for his performance against the
Wisconsin Badgers that featured a 74-yard boot.
Malone worked hard to get stronger in the offseason and it showed when he took the field as a senior. He punted 43 times
and averaged a career-high 45.14 yards, which would have led the WAC and ranked fifth nationally had he qualified
(needed to average 3.6 punts per game). He provided the defense with excellent field position again, as 17 of his punts
were down inside the 20-yard line against just five touchbacks. Malone was named first-team All-WAC by the league’s
coaches.

ZOLTAN MESKO
Punter/Holder

Twinsburg, Ohio
Twinsburg High School
OVERVIEW
College football recruiters place great emphasis on pursuing quality offensive and defensive players, but most of the
major programs usually rely upon walk-ons to handle punting and place-kicking duties. Every once in awhile, those
schools luck out and find a quality specialist, but based on the lack of players drafted by the National Football League at
those positions, it is obvious that depth is sorely lacking at the collegiate level.
That is certainly not the case where the University of Michigan is concerned, a school that many professional scouts felt
was a “priority visit” for any NFL teams looking for the best punter in the collegiate game – Zoltan Mesko.
Over 110,000 Wolverine fans got to see this talented athlete to perform on a weekly basis, knowing that he is more than
likely to pin the opposition deep in their own territory. Those that witness Mesko kicking for the first time are usually in for
a treat. They definitely walk away impressed by his powerful leg. Punt returners talk about the “nasty spin” that his kicks
generate, making it very difficult to field those attempts, resulting in eight fumbles and six turnovers by the opposition
trying to field his punts the last four seasons.
Having Mesko handling punting chores gave the Michigan staff peace of mind, as his consistency was evident ever since
th
he arrived on campus as a freshman. Prior to his arrival, the Wolverines ranked 89 in the nation in gross yardage in 2005
th th rd
(38.31 avg), 77 in net average in 2004 (34.42), 112 in net average (32.0) and 73 in gross average (40.0) in 2003 and
nd th
72 in gross average (39.27) and 64 in net average (34.89) in 2001.
th
With Mesko sharing punting chores early in his freshman season, Michigan finished 57 in net average (34.92) in 2006.
th
He took over full-time duties in 2007, helping U-M rank 48 nationally with a 35.67-yard net average. As a junior, the
Wolverines ranked fifth in the major college ranks and led the Big Ten Conference in net yard average (42.12). In 2009,
Michigan ranked its highest ever in net average, boasting a 40.93-yard mark, second-best at the Football Bowl
Subdivision level, while his gross average of 44.46 yards ranked fourth nationally.
What impresses NFL scouts is Mesko’s ability to direct his punts near the goal line. On 252 career punts, 78 have been
downed inside the 20-yard line (30.95%), including 24 inside the 10-yard marker (9.52%) and 12 inside the 5-yard line
(4.76%). 60 of his attempts were for 50 yards or longer (23.81%), while the opposition called for a fair catch 66 times. Just
95 of his punts have been returned (37.70%), as his opponents never found the end zone with any of his boots.
Mesko holds the school career-records with his 252 punts and 10,703 yards (yardage is the seventh-best on the Big Ten
Conference career-record list). His gross average of 42.47 yards ranked second in Wolverine annals and he produced a
net yard average of 38.36 yards. His 80 punts in 2008 set the school season-record and rank tied for seventh in Big Ten
Conference history, while his 70 attempts in 2007 rank third. His gross averages of 42.95 yards in 2008 rank sixth, 41.58
yards in 2006 rank ninth and 44.46 yards in 2009 rank first on Michigan’s annual record chart. His 3,436 yards in 2008
placed third on the league’s annual record list.
Mesko was an all-around athlete at Twinsburg High School, earning four letters in football and two each in basketball and
track. He received All-American honors from USA Today and Parade magazine, in addition to being selected for the
prestigious U.S. Army All-American Bowl as a senior. He added All-Western Reserve North Conference and All-Ohio
honors that year, as he also earned the Cleveland Touchdown Club Award and Akron Touchdown Club Award.
The first-team All-Sun Newspaper pick added All-Western Reserve North honors as a junior and was the recipient of the
National Football Foundation Scholar-Athlete Award and named the Cleveland Touchdown Club Award winner in his
conference, which is given to the best scholar-athlete. A first-team All-State pick by the Cleveland Plain Dealer, he
received a three-star prospect rating from Rivals.com, a recruiting service that ranked him as the second-best kicker and
th
36 -best overall player in the state of Ohio in 2004.
th
Super Prep magazine rated Mesko the 47 -best overall prospect in the Midwest. After his senior campaign, he was
selected to participate in 2005 Big 33 Football Classic for Ohio and Pennsylvania seniors. Prep Star rated him the nation’s
th
11 -best kicker. He attended the Dick Pierce Camp from 2002-04, where he was rated their best punter each season. He
was also chosen the Most Valuable Performer at the Ray Guy Kicking Academy in 2004.
The four-time academic award winner averaged 44.3 yards per punt during his career and connected on 21-of-28 field
goal attempts. He averaged 43.6 yards per punt as a senior, as 89.0% of his kickoffs went into the end zone. That
season, he booted a career-long punt of 71 yards, all in the air, and hit the crossbar on a 55-yard field goal attempt.
As a senior, Mesko recorded thirteen punts for 50 yards or longer, including a 68-yarder, as he connected on 16-of-18 on
extra points and 8-of-12 on field goals, including a 47-yarder during his final season. As a junior, he averaged 46.23 yards
per punt as made 11-of-14 field goal attempts.
In 2005, Mesko spent that season as a freshman redshirt. In 2006, he shared punting duties with Ross Ryan at various
times during the season, but still went on to rank fourth in the Big Ten Conference with an average of 41.58 yards on 50
punts that included seventeen boots being downed inside the 20-yard line and eight kicks going for 50 yards or longer. He
excelled in the classroom, as he was chosen Academic All-Big Ten, in addition to receiving U-M Athletic/Academic
Achievement accolades.
As a sophomore, Mesko handled all but one punt for the Wolverines. The Ray Guy Award candidate again made the
Academic All-Big Ten squad and was the recipient of the Derek Howard Award, given to the team’s top hustler. He punted
70 times for 2,876 yards (41.09 avg), as just 28 of those kicks were returned by the opposition. He placed 22 of his punts
inside the 20-yard line and delivered ten attempts for at least 50 yards.
In 2008, Mesko established himself as the premier punter in the nation. Michigan ranked fifth in the major college ranks
with a 39.34-yard net average, as the junior had 24 punts downed inside the 20-yard line, with 21 other boots resulting in
fair catches by the opposition. 24 of his 80 punts were good for 50 yards or longer, as he finished with a 42.95-yard gross
average.
The three-time Academic All-Big Ten Conference choice received All-American first-team honors from The NFL Draft
Report in 2009, as he is rated the best kicking specialist in college by that scouting information service. He was a member
of Playboy’s preseason All-American team and has more than lived up to his press clippings. He ranked fourth in the
nation with a 44.46-yard gross average and had just 21-of-52 punts returned, with 18 being called for fair catches and
fifteen downed inside the 20-yard line. Seventeen of his attempts were for 50 yards or more, including four for at least 60
yards.

LEIGH TIFFIN
Placekicker/Kickoff Specialist
#99
6:00.7-209
Muscle Shoals, Alabama
Muscle Shoals High School
OVERVIEW
The Tiffin name has long been a part of Alabama Crimson Tide football lore. Van Tiffin is the subject of a Daniel Moore
painting titled “The Kick,” which features the elder Tiffin putting his leg into a 52-yard field goal that gave Alabama the lead
over archrival Auburn as time expired in the 1985 Iron Bowl.
His son, Leigh, set out on a mission to put his own name amongst the university’s greats. The father-son combination
produced 697 points at Alabama (312 for Van, 385 for Leigh), joining Phillip Doyle (339, 1987-90) and Michael Proctor
(326, 1992-95) as the only kickers in school history to score 300 or more points in a career.
After beating out Jamie Christensen for a starting job as a sophomore, Tiffin commenced an all-out assault on the record
books. He finished just four field goals shy of the NCAA record of 87 set by Billy Bennett of Georgia, as he successfully
connected on 83 tries, establishing an Alabama Crimson Tide record.
Breaking Phillip Doyle’s single-season record of 100 points by a kicker (1989) as a sophomore wasn’t enough for Tiffin, as
he owns the top three spots on the school record list with 132 in 2009, 111 in 2007 and 106 in 2008. His career total of
385 points also shattered Doyle’s school record of 339 (1987-90).
In 2009, Tiffin helped kick the Crimson Tide to a BCS National Championship and his efforts were recognized. He was
named a finalist for the Lou Groza Award while earning first-team Associated Press All-American honors and second-
team accolades from the Walter Camp Foundation.
Tiffin handled kicking duties at Muscle Shoals High School, where he hit a career-long field goal of 50 yards as a prep
standout. He was named to the All-Region team as a senior while connecting on 4-of-5 field goals, and recorded
touchbacks on 95 percent of his kickoffs.
The kicker opted to walk on at his father’s alma mater in 2006, where he served as the backup to Jamie Christensen as a
true freshman. He was thrust into a starting role after Christensen went down with a groin injury, responding by kicking a
47-yard game-winner vs. Vanderbilt.
The following season, Tiffin beat out Christensen for the starting job in fall camp. He had a sensational season, hitting on
25 of 34 field goal tries and going a perfect 36 of 36 on extra points. He led the Southeastern Conference and tied for third
nationally with 1.92 field goals made per game.
He also led the conference with 10 field goals for 40 yards or longer. His 25 successful field goals broke the previous
school season-record of 24, set by Phillip Doyle in 1990. Tiffin also shattered Doyle’s single-season kicking mark of 100
points by scoring 111. He was at his best vs. Mississippi State, connecting on all four field goal attempts, including two
over 50 yards to become the first kicker since his father to make two field goals of over 50 yards in a game.
Tiffin continued building on his success as a junior. He connected of 20 of 29 field goal tries and 46 of 47 extra point
attempts. He also averaged a career-high 64.07 yards per kickoff with two touchbacks. In a season-opening victory over
Clemson, he booted a career-long 54-yarder that was the third-longest kick in school history and the second-longest
without a tee.
He was named the Lou Groza Award “Star of the Week” twice for his performances against Clemson and Mississippi
State. Tiffin was also selected as a semifinalist for the Lou Groza National Place-Kicker Award. At the team’s season-
ending banquet, he was the recipient of Alabama’s Special Teams Player of the Year Award.
As a senior, Tiffin took his game to a new level. The kicker hit on 30 of 35 field goals to break his own school record, as
well as 42 of 46 extra points. He averaged 63.54 yards per kickoff and recorded a career-high with 14 touchbacks.
He shattered countless Alabama records and was selected as a finalist for the Lou Groza Award. Tiffin earned first-team
All-SEC honors as well as a first-team All-American nod from the Associated Press and a second-team choice from the
Walter Camp Foundation.
