vie in the preseason but a few dark horses to look for include DB Eric Berry from Tennessee, LB Rey Maualuga from USC, OU's DE Auston English for a Big 12 vote and FSU DB Myron Rolle. Maualuga has to be one of the best football players to watch every single down. He has a Troy Polamalu quality in that he seems to be around the ball wherever it is on the field. Rolle and Berry are both big defensive backs who play on both defensive oriented teams and conferences and have the ability to be a game changer especially Rolle. English is a very versatile end who led the Big 12 last year in sacks per game. OU's defense was said to be very impressive in the spring and with DL Granger (on the watch list as well) patrolling the line as well, I expect him to have big numbers on the outside. The list really makes you pumped for the upcoming year as you see how many great defensive players their are in college football.

Colorado DL Hypolite Named to Nagurski Watch List
Watch list #2 as we try to wait out the off-season. Its hard but recruiting, watch lists and upcoming season projections feed the fire a little. George Hypolite, DL for the Colorado Buffaloes, has been put on the long watch list of 80+ for the Bronko Nagurski Trophy which honors the best defensive college football player. Hypolite is also on the Outland and Lombardi Trophy Watch Lists. The Nagurski list includes Ohio States James Laurinaitis the 2006 winner & 2007 finalist and DE George Selvie from So Florida, also a finalist from last year. Glen Dorsey won the award last year and Aqib Talib & Chris Long were finalists. All three went in the first round of the NFL Draft. It would be hard to pick anyone other than Laurinaitis and Sel
