SOUTH CAROLINA

JUNIOR DEFENSIVE END

Why he's No. 18: Norwood emerged as a major playmaker on defense a year ago. He tied for the SEC lead with three fumble recoveries, two of which he returned for touchdowns. Norwood also blocked a punt.

Key number: 19.5. Norwood set the South Carolina record as a sophomore by recording 19.5 tackles for a loss

Fun fact: Norwood was just a three-star prospect out of North Cobb High in Acworth, Ga., just another sign of how insignificant recruiting ratings can be.
