No. 23 — Michael Oher, Mississippi


Sr., offensive tackle

Why he's No. 23: At 6-foot-5 and 318 pounds, Oher is regarded as one of the top offensive tackles in the nation. Oher initially said he would enter the NFL draft last season, but later decided to return for his senior season. He is projected as a first-round NFL pick.

Key number: 5.22. That is Oher's reported 40-yard dash time, which is a pretty solid time for a 318-pound tackle.

Fun fact: Oher is a subject in the Michael Lewis book "The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game." Lewis follows Oher from his difficult childhood all the way to his current position as one of the most highly regarded prospects in college football.
