RB Bryce Brown, Tennessee
Last year was one big saga for Brown, who turned his recruitment into a three-ring circus. This year, he gets an opportunity to show the nation that he was worth all of the attention. He laid a solid foundation by turning 101 carries into 460 yards and three scores, and catching 10 balls for 137 yards and another touchdown. The graduation of Montario Hardesty should keep Brown busy this fall, affording him enough touches to rush for 1,000 yards and earn all-conference consideration. He’s the total package in a runner, blending power with the breakaway speed and cutback ability to make defenders whiff.
