CB D.J. Brown- Junior
Miami of Ohio isn't very accustomed to threatening to gain into the Top 25. They have a load of talented players at very important positions including quarterback Zac Dysert. Dysert isn't a top player but he makes the sure play and has sweet accuracy. Sophomore Austin Boucher might also get some snaps but the RedHawks won't be very eager to bench Dysert. Sophomore tailback Tracy Woods didn't start in his freshmen year but will likely start in 2011 with Thomas Meriweather gone. Junior Danny Green will also pressure Woods for the slot. Wide out Nick Harwell is a sophomore down-the-field threat. Dysert will be looking for him on every single play and he'll demand cornerbacks and safeties alike. Junior Andy Cruse and tight end Kendrick Bruton are other options. The offensive line has guard Brandon Brooks who will lead the way for Woods. Matt Kennedy, Josh Harvey and center Brad Bednar will keep opposing defensive players out of the backfield. Defensive tackle Austin Brown is a definite threat on the defensive line. He'll bring down backs and can pressure quarterbacks. Other tackle Jordain Brown will also make plays and end Jason Semmes return. Junior Evan Harris is the best linebacker on the squad. He'll dominate on the side while senior Jerrell Wedge can do things up the middle. The secondary is also very strong. D.J. Brown is the top player in the back and safety Pat Hinkel makes plays.

Heisman Hopeful: Zac Dysert
MAC Rank: 1st
