Time to Shine: Tavarres King, Russell Shepard
Tavarres King, from the University of Georgia is one of those players who, though consistently improving with the passage of time, has oftentimes been overlooked due to the shadow cast by the presence of a star athlete at his same position in this case, University of Georgia standout wide receiver A.J. Green. Expect that to change dramatically in 2011, however, as Green has departed for greener pastures in the NFL (drafted by Bengals as No. 4 pick of the first round in this year’s draft) and King has been slated as the heir-apparent in a wide receiver corps that should only become more dangerous as quarterback Aaron Murray continues to come into his own.
King earned Newcomer of the Year for the Bulldogs as a red-shirt freshman in 2009, appearing in 12 games with nine starts and finishing the season with 18 receptions

CFI Q&A: DE Margus Hunt, SMU
College Football Insiders Player Interview with SMU’s Margus Hunt:
How would you assess the team’s spring ball performance overall? What did you guys do well and what should fans expect entering the season?
Spring ball was good, especially for the younger kids who are still fitting into the system. We were able to create depth at many positions and that will help us out in the fall.
What team goals do you hope to accomplish this year?
Go to the C-USA Championship game again and win it…and of course, another bowl game would be great. Every year we need to make our goals higher and work to accomplish them.
Have you set any personal goals that you would like to achieve?
Block a lot of field goals!

NCAA: Mr. Versatility, Mohamed Sanu
Over the past few years the Rutgers Scarlet Knights have proved to be a mere shadow of the BCS sweethearts they were back in 2006, yet head coach Greg Schiano has somehow continued to find ways to convince some of the best talent in the Northeast to come and play football in the state of New Jersey. Perhaps no other player since the departure of tailback Ray Rice to the Baltimore Ravens back in 2008 has emerged as prolific an example of this trend as Mohamed Sanu, a 6’2”, 218-pound receiver who spent his childhood shuttling between New Jersey and his parents’ home country of Sierra Leone.

Last season he had 60 total tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks and one interception on his way to securing Mountain West Conference Defensive Player of the Year honors. He also
Can Russell Wilson Prosper in the Big Ten?
Can Russell Wilson Prosper in the Big Ten?
According to a report by NBCSports.com’s Keith Arnold, QB Russell Wilson is signed, sealed and delivered as the newest member of the Wisconsin Badgers football team. The questions here are: How will the multi-talented triggerman fare under a new system in the Big Ten and what kind of future does he have in the NFL if he decides to choose football over baseball?
Mancini’s Take: If Wilson does indeed suit up for Bret Bielema’s squad this fall, he’ll first have to beat out the inexperienced Jon Budamyr for the starting position. Based on his track record alone, the Richmond, Virginia native should be a shoe-in to be the Badgers leading man this fall. Wilson’s biggest challenge will be adapting to a pro style system after three seasons of playing in Tom O’Brien’s shotgun spread attack. While
