Following an abysmal 2-10 run through the 2012 season, Kentucky is rebuilding in a hurry. Mark Stoops hasn't wasted any time since taking over the head coaching job, quickly putting together a giant 2014 recruiting class that includes five ESPN 300 commits -- and 18 total prospects.

All Jake Ryan did for Michigan last season was lead the team in tackles (88 total, 16 of which were for a loss), while also posting 4.5 sacks and forcing four fumbles. In short, he anchored the defense from the linebacker position -- which is why there was considerable concern when he went down with a torn ACL during spring practice.

Quarterback Taylor Kelly emerged as a very pleasant surprise in Todd Graham's first year as Arizona State head coach last season.

With Robert Woods and Marqise Lee leading the way, USC had one of the best wide receiver tandems in all of college football at its disposal last season. Woods entered the 2012 campaign as one of the top names at the position after a monster effort in 2011, then delivered another 846 yards and 11 touchdowns on 76 catches. Those numbers weren't quite as ridiculous as the 1,292 yards and 15 scores on 111 receptions he posted the year before, but they were still good enough to land him in the second round of NFL draft.
