QB-Nate Heywood (James Madison)
Heywood was the captain and leader of the National Champion Dukes. He threw 37 TD's while only amassing 16 interceptions. A player that was destined for Division I football announced after the FCS Championship game that he would be transferring before the next season.

Pros: Heywood possesses a strong arm that has improved dramatically in his one season at the collegiate level. While his 40 time was a lot lower than scouts predicted he shows great game speed especially with the ball in his hand. He his awareness and field vision show great promise despite coming into college as a one read passer. He was coached up at James Madison and his intelligence and discipline should translate well for whichever program lands him.

Cons: Perhaps the biggest question mark that surrounds Heywood is one that kept him from signing with a top tier program in the first place, his attitude. He's a wild kid that is kind of a loose cannon at times. Coaches have concerns if his volatile nature will manifest when the pressure continues to increase. He's not as mobile as teams prefer and will need an offense built around a pocket passer. While he has the potential to be an elite accurate passer he only threw for 55.6% last season against lower tier competition.

Summary: Heywood is a risky but intriguing prospect that could become the next James Sherwood or Jonathan Demartini if he can get his head on straight and fulfill his untapped potential. Look for him to be a top 10 target in the transfer draft.












QB-Frank White (Eastern Kentucky)
Eastern Kentucky fans were quite surprised to see their QB decide to leave school after only one season. White led the team to the playoffs but didn't perform at the level many thought he would when he committed to the program. He was inconsistent and erratic and it showed with his accuracy and high turnover rate.

Pros: White is a gun slinger with a big league arm. He has a very quick trigger and the ball explodes out of his hand. He's very elusive in the pocket and has a knack for avoiding the rush and making plays outside the pocket. He has the potential to see the field and move safeties with his eyes. He has a lot of skills that could make him a top level collegiate QB.

Cons: With his kamikaze style of play comes inconsistency. He hasn't shown the kind of accuracy or intelligence on a weekly basis and that has led to some bad games. While he has good feet to avoid the rush he isn't necessarily fast and sometimes looks likes he's running in sand. He's a very risky player that has had trouble in the classroom with eligibity.

Summary: White has the big time potential to be a steal of this signing period but also monumental concerns that could make him uncoachable and a wasted scholarship. He is a polarizing player that has many scouts scratching their heads in wonder.












RB- Michael Moore (Delaware)
Blue chip prospects don't always find their way to Division I football and Moore is one of the many that had to take a longer route. After committing to Alabama after his senior year of highchool his scholarship was revoked after an off the field incident involving a fight at his highschool. Instead of finding another DI program he decided to stay home an attend Delaware. In his one season with the Blue Hens Moore never showed the big time talent that scouts drooled over. Only rushing for 935 yards and 1 TD while averaging a measly 3.3 yards a carry.

Pros: Moore has elite speed and acceleration for a running back. He is a chizeled specimen that tested as one of the strongest backs in the nation. He has the potential to be elite as a pass catcher as well as a runningback. Has shown above average run blocking skills as well. Very versatile player with top tier level skills when he's motivated.

Cons: From a pure athletic standpoint you can't find many cons but as a technician he has a lot to learn to live up to the high expectations put upon him. Currently he goes down to easily during contact and his hands have been inconsistent. He's a terrible pass blocker and will be liability when asked to protect the QB.

Summary: Moore is one of the most talented players to enter this years recruiting class. He's still raw in some areas and will have to work hard if he wants to live up to expectations. His versatitly and athleticism will garner a lot of interest at the top of the draft.












WR-Clark Barr (Weber St.)
One of the safer recruits to announce his intentions to transfer, Barr has really wowed scouts with his quickness and hands. He wracked up over 1,600 yards receiving last season at Weber St. while catching 14 TD's.

Pros: Barr is lightning off the line and has good to great speed down the field. He has the potential to be a great hands catcher. His route running and bump and run avoidance has continued to show signs of growth as he gets more college coaching. A player that has the skills to play the slot as well as outside, he isn't afraid to mix it up in the run game.

Cons: A player with great potential is still far from a finished project. He's not the best with the ball in his hands and doesn't show a tenacity to break tackles. While he has great speed it's not elite and he'll struggle to take the top off a defense as consistently as some of the best wr's in the NCAA.

Summary: Barr is a top tier talent that will realistically live up to the expectations scouts have heaped upon him. He may not be electric after the catch but he has enough juice and skills that he will find holes in the defense and make a lot of plays for whichever team is lucky enough to sign him.












TE-Johnny Simmons (Northern Arizona)
Simmons is only 6'2" but he has shown a propensity to making big catches in his one year of college football. His 412 yards might not seem like a lot but considering the team was three WR offense his touches were limited.

Pros: Simmons has big soft hands and only dropped one pass all season. He has explosion and great footwork when it comes to route running as well as avoiding the jam off the line. He's great in traffic and is a beast with the ball in his hands. He has elite blocking skills and is like having an extra tackle on the line if he's asked to block in the run game or against the rush.

Cons: Simmons has shown to be pretty smart on the football field but has made some bad decisions off of it. His only concern is himself.

Summary: Simmons has the potential to play many positions and has scouts drooling over his athleticism and skills. If he can keep his head right he could evenutally become an elite collegiate player.
