Rob Rang of The Sports Xchange and CBSSports.com broke down the major award winners and how they will project to the next level. There are some interesting players listed -- and not listed -- in the article. An excerpt and complete listing follows:
<p style="margin-left:40px;">Heisman Trophy, Davey O'Brien, Walter Camp Awards: Jameis Winston
- Undetermined. Winston cannot enter the draft until after the 2014 season.
<p style="margin-left:40px;">
<p style="margin-left:40px;">Unitas, Maxwell Awards: AJ McCarron
- Second Day selection, potential to be an NFL starter.
<p style="margin-left:40px;">
<p style="margin-left:40px;">Nagurski Award, Outland Trophy: Aaron Donald
- Likely to fall due to size concerns. Jurrell Casey clone?
<p style="margin-left:40px;">
<p style="margin-left:40px;">Thorpe Award: Darqueze Denard
- No Round given, but he is listed as the best Cornerback in the Draft. Top 15 at the least.
<p style="margin-left:40px;">
<p style="margin-left:40px;">Doak Walker Award: Andre Williams
- Possible fall into the Third day. Old school, North-South runner.
<p style="margin-left:40px;">
<p style="margin-left:40px;">Biletnikof Award: Brandin Cooks
-
First Day selection, undersized though.
<p style="margin-left:40px;">
<p style="margin-left:40px;">Mackey Award: Austin Seferian-Jenkins
- If he enters the draft, he may be the first Tight End selected. Pretty close to a "lock" for the First Round.
<p style="margin-left:40px;">
<p style="margin-left:40px;">Hendricks Award: Jackson Jeffcoa
t - Second day guy. His play really fell off this season, but is that attributable to Texas as a whole?
<p style="margin-left:40px;">
<p style="margin-left:40px;">Lott IMPACT Trophy: Anthony Barr
-
Top five player, easily
