Active Roster
1. Brian Orakpo DE/OLB (6'4"260)
Was a unanimous 1st Team All-American in 2008...Won the Nagurski Trophy (nation's top defensive player), Lombardi Award (nation's top lineman) and Hendricks Award (nation's top defensive end). One of the best pass rushers in the nation. If he falls to us should eventually become a Dolphin All-Pro.
2a. Jonathan Luigs C (6'4"314)
The 2007 Rimington Trophy award winner as the nation’s top center and a consensus All-American. Comfortable with the quarterback both under center and in shotgun. Able to handle even the biggest DTs. Luigs would allow us to move Satele to RG, a position he is better suited. Hopefully, with a healthy Donald Thomas back, we would not only have excellent talent, but great depth as well on the O-Line.
2b. Jasper Brinkley ILB(6'2" 275)
During his Junior year, he had a pretty bad knee injury, but appears to have recovered fully. He plays fast for a man of his size(4.6/40). He has the speed to run sideline to sideline. He is proverbial wall in the middle against the run. In my opinon, he is a better option in the middle than Ayodele.
3. Ron Brace NT(6'3"324)
Jack-Of-All-Trades defensive linemen. While he does not get the attention of his teammate Raji, may be the better value in the draft. Can be an instant contributor on the DL. He is able to penetrate and be a disruptive force. You want him to be more aggressive and use more of his God-given ability, but if he puts it all together can be the steal of this draft class.
4. Dominique Johnson CB(6'1"190)
While he is not the prospect that Dominique-Rogers Cromartie was, he is not far behind. He possess excellent ball skills and speed running a 4.39/40. He is a former Missouri Tiger and finished his senior campaign with 4 ints.
5. Jaison Williams WR(6'5" 240)
He has excellent speed for a man of his size(4.61/40) and knows how to use his body to shield defenders. He has a high football I.Q. and is said to be very coachable. He is tough and durable. The question is that some times he can get lazy with his route running and doesn't hold his blocks. Both those things can be coached up.
7a. Kevin Barnes CB(6'1"188)
5th yr. senior. He is tall, athletic, and has very good speed. He had an injury that I am hoping pushes him back in the draft. He can stand to get a little stronger. He's a sleeper that I hope falls to us.
7b. C.J. Spillman S(6'0" 193)
Senior safety and prolific tackler at Marshall. If nothing else he would be a ST contributor.
7c. Jeremy Perry OG(6'2" 329)
All-Pac 10 in 2006 at OSU. Had a leg injury in 2007 that sidelined him for much of the '08 season too. He is a project, but if he can comeback we will have a pretty good football player.
