Can I nominate our entire offensive and defensive line? I think that public perception is that those areas will continue to struggle, esp. after replacing our defensive front 4. I think those two units are going to have stellar seasons and turn alot of heads doing it. I just cant get enough of Brett Byford and the job he is doing at center. (I was never a fan of Kurt Mann)

Actually from what I've heard, most people (including myself) are expecting a lot out of the O-line this year.

I'd say watch out for Castille, especially if we get bitten by the injury bug.

 
I say Marlon Lucky... outside of Nebraska, does anyone really know anything about this guy?

I think he will have his breakout season and get National attention as a top college RB.

I'd agree with Lucky having a breakout season, everything looks to be in place for him to step up.

My lesser known guys to watch for would be Todd Peterson and Andre Jones. I think Peterson is poised to become a 40+ catch guy and I think Jones will develop into a nice CB this season.

 
Cody Glenn is my nomination. All anyone wants to talk about is Marlon Lucky, not that I don't like him I just think people don't give Cody enough credit. The only question is if he can stay healthy!

 
Terrence Nunn, with purify's situation not looking good and Keller as more of a throw to one guy type of guy he should have a nice year, but if Purify stays on the team then I will go with him

 
Another player to look out for is Franz Hardy. I'm not a huge fan of his but he is probably the fastest WR on the team and with the added range that Keller brings the deep ball will be more of a factor. (just run straight kid)

Hopefully he's learning how to catch the ball...

and how to play off a block at the line of scrimmage. unless he has spent some time in the weight room, i just don't expect that much from this kid.

Sometimes the threat is enough to affect what a defense is willing to risk in its scheme.

 
I think that Glenn and Lucky could get some national attention as a great RB duo. An improved O line may be a big help in that speculation. I don't really see Andre Jones having a breakout season. I just don't think he is a GREAT cornerback. He will need to step up though.

 
Im really pulling for Glenn to get his attention because he works so hard evry time he gets the ball its amazing. In the spring game he would just not go down. I hope he makes Javorskie Lane just look bad.
