No. 14 Ricky Jean-Francois

Why he's No. 14: Jean-Francois was everywhere in last January's BCS title game against Ohio State, finishing with six tackles (1.5 for loss), a half sack and a blocked field goal to earn Most Outstanding Player honors. As a third-year sophomore, the 6-foot-3, 281-pound Jean-Francois is projected as the first pick in next year's NFL draft because of the combination of his size and quick feet.

Key number: 3. That's the number of career starts that Jean-Francois has totaled in two seasons, making him vulnerable to the grind of a long season.

Fun fact: From Miami, Jean-Francois is said to be related to mixed martial arts fighter Kimbo Slice.
