Rarely mentioned players who can have a huge impact

I have two in mind.
Evan Washington-I know most seem to think Fanaika has the RG spot locked up, but even if he does, we'll need Evan to step in and not lose a step. I've been expecting a lot from him since we signed him in the 2005 class (yes I know, it just feels like it was that long ago), but injuries just seemed to kill his career until last year. I still think he can be really good if he stays healthy. The O line is essential for us to have a big year this year given all of the true freshmen we'll be playing at all the skill spots.
Tashawn Bower-We heard a ton of positive stuff about him before the season started last year, but he never really blew up like I think we all had hoped. With Rasco and Hunter starting and Chief's propensity to rotate the hell out of the line, look for Tashawn to have a big impact and be a disruptive force this year.
Another guy I'll throw out there is Connor Neighbors. Obviously he is the starter, and we'll need him to continue to play at a high level. I also hope he stays healthy.

He was all over the field the second half of the season, and mostly in the opponent's backfield.

Dillon Gordon and Desean Smith

I'm really glad we have Thomas. He's solid, plays well in the extra-DB packages and gives us great depth.

John Diarse.

Even though we are loaded R. Feist...
Just one of those now or never kind of things...

Duke Riley. Quantavious Leslie. John Diarse. Kenny Hilliard. Ed Paris. Dillon Gordon is like an extra tackle lol. Lots of people who can step up and suprise people. Q Leslie though will be a HUGE contributer on the outside. I expect him to have a bigger impact than Malachi this season.

Dillon Gordon is a good call. Everybody is excited about Desean Smith and Jacory Washington (who will both be good players), but Gordon was built to run our offense. He is a perfect Les Miles type of player. Logan Stokes will be very important to our run game this year as well. I think Ronald Martin is a guy who bounces back in a big way this year. Last year was rough on him, and I expect that to fuel him to a big senior season. I'm definitely rooting for him.

I hope Avery stays healthy and goes off this year.

Logan Stokes, Travis Dickson

Ronald Martin. I think he has been a much better player than the rant gives him credit for, and will be a leader in that secondary.

I don't think anyone is doubting Ronald Martin

This is why I am pissing myself with anticipation for this year. Most all of you guys may be right and others besides. I think a lot of guys are going to step up. The talking dickheads are sleeping on the Tigers.
