Jarrett Boykin became Virginia Tech's all-time leader in receptions and receiving yards last season. Since 2008, the Charlotte, NC native has led the team in at least one major receiving category in each season. Boykin helped lead the team to three ACC Championship appearances in four seasons.
Vanderbilt senior RB Zac Stacy enters the 2012 season with high expectations after setting the Commodores' school-single season record for rushing yards (1,193, 5.94 YPC). Along the way, the versatile Stacy notched 14 rushing touchdowns. He's returned punts and kickoffs during his career, and Stacy has also proven to be an effective player on screens. We break down one of the SEC's top returning backs in our video spotlight.
No player has risen up DraftNasty's Big Board more than San Jose State CB Peyton Thompson in the last month. Standing 5'11, 183 pounds, Thompson's San Jose State Pro Day (4.4 40-yd, 10'9" BJ, 37" VJ) largely went under the radar, but the former Spartan's game film tells the true story. He looks to follow in the footsteps of former San Jose State CB Dwight Lowery, who's gotten off to a solid start in the NFL with two different teams (Jets, Jaguars). We breakdown Thompson's game in our video spotlight.
Former Houston LB Sammy Brown used his career to establish a reputation for strictly making plays. After transferring from the JUCO ranks, Brown went on to record 21 QB sacks and 49.5 TFLs over a two-year period for the Cougars (Nation-leading 30 TFLs in 2011). DraftNasty.com zoomed in on the senior OLB once during the 2010 campaign (UTEP) and at this year's Players All-Star Classic held in Little Rock, Arkansas.
Former Virginia and Southern WR Jared Green has enjoyed a strong postseason at both the 2011 HBCU Bowl and 2012 AstroTurf NFLPA Collegiate Bowl. He routinely blazed past CBs during each of the All-Star practices and even caught the attention of former Oakland/LA Raiders' 2-time Super Bowl winning-coach Tom Flores. The Virginia graduate hopes to blaze a trail in the legacy of his father, former Washington Redskins' Hall of Fame and 20-year veteran CB Darrell Green. DraftNasty.com goes deep with Jared Green.
