College football games are mere days away, which means a new group of budding players is about to be revealed.
We're not talking about Ohio State's Jeremiah Smith, Clemson's T.J. Parker, Notre Dame's Jeremiyah Love, Alabama's Ryan Williams or a certain Texas quarterback from a famous football family. The players in this cohort haven't occupied the national stage, and some aren't even in the community theater phase of their stardom. But they have generated excitement within their programs, and according to their coaches and teammates, will be showcasing their talents in big ways this fall.
