The Herd’s Word Preseason Top 25
Posted by: | Comments
2009 is going to be the greatest season in the history of college…… wait, when was the last time we started a season by not saying this isn’t going to be the greatest season ever?
Sure, we’ve got a couple Heisman Trophy winners coming back, a ton of offensive talent in the Big 12 and some [...]

The Defense
.
Defensive End - Greg Hardy, Mississippi
Hardy is a monster who is ready to terrorize the SEC in 2009. The inexperienced quarterbacks in the conference aren’t going to get a very warm welcome from this guy. Hardy hits harder than any heavyweight in the nation. Honorable Mention: George Selvie (South Florida), Jerry Hughes (TCU)
Defensive End [...]

The Offense
.
Quarterback - Colt McCoy, Texas
The senior has the most to prove this season and we think he will. Big time. He’s the only one of the big three not to win the Heisman or a National Championship, the two defining awards for a great college football player. He might get both this season. Honorable [...]
SEC’s Top Ten NFL Prospects
Posted by: | Comments
This list doesn’t include players from the University of Florida, whose football factory warranted their own list. Alabama could have had their own list too, but didn’t have the overwhelming depth that the Gators feature. Even without Florida’s prospects, the SEC has some of the most dynamic football players in the college game. Here they [...]

The list doesn’t include any incoming freshman. Let them get a taste of success and reach the playing field before we start crowning them the second coming.

The Big 12 features 5 to 7 of the best NFL prospects in the nation. If all of these juniors decide to enter the 2010 NFL Draft, they will dominate the headlines. The Big 12 is in for one of the most exciting seasons in conference history. This list doesn’t even include some great college [...]
PAC-10’s Top Ten NFL Prospects
Posted by: | Comments
This list doesn’t include any USC players. After reviewing their talent, we decided to give them their own top ten. Only three or four players on this list would have made their list, which should make people rethink whether this is the year anybody can knock the Trojans off the top of the PAC-10.
1. Jahvid [...]
Southern Cal’s Top Ten NFL Prospects
Posted by: | Comments
We’ve been breaking down the best NFL prospects in the BCS conferences over the past two weeks. When we sat back and took a look at the PAC-10, it didn’t make sense not put together a list strictly for USC. The have become the nation’s predominant football factory and could compare prospect for prospect with [...]
Big Ten’s Top Ten NFL Prospects
Posted by: | Comments
1. Terrelle Pryor 6′6″ 235lbs QB Ohio State Sophomore
Pryor showed a ton of potential as a true freshman but what convinced us to put him on top of this list was the 4.33 forty he ran at Ohio State’s summer camp. Any 6′6″ 235-pound athlete who runs that fast will help a football team regardless [...]

1. Arthur Jones 6′4″ 300lbs DT Syracuse Senior
Jones is one of the lone bright spots in an Orange program that has gone backwards in recent years. One of the most athletic tackles in the nation, Jones decided to stay close to home while attending college. Even though he loves his surroundings, he makes opposing quarterbacks [...]
