We ranked the top 100 college football players, but which players aren't getting the headlines but might do big things this season?
'Walking out of there, it was a weight lifted off my shoulders': Why Malachi Nelson sought a fresh start at Boise Stategoing into the season, there are still more players whose talents and potential are known within their programs, or even their immediate areas, but have yet to display them consistently on bigger stages. Most have been backups or shared starting roles, and some are transfers who have impressed their new coaches and teammates during the past few months.
SMU's defense didn't get enough credit for the team's American Athletic Conference title push in 2023, and Sanders played an important role in his first year with the Mustangs. He didn't earn all-league recognition but showed natural playmaking ability, tying for the league lead in forced fumbles and finishing third on the team in pass breakups. He enters the fall with 21 career starts and 83 tackles, 63 of which are solo.
Marshall loses Owen Porter, a two-time first-team All-Sun Belt selection who finished his career with 19 sacks and 43.5 tackles for loss. Green, a transfer from Virginia who flashed pass-rushing prowess while playing behind Porter last season, is set to fill the void. Marshall coach Charles Huff gushed about Green's athleticism, which showed down the stretch last fall with 3.5 sacks and 6.5 tackles for loss in the final five games.
