Patrick DiMarco, South Carolina 6005 243 4.75
Played in 51 games over four years, starting 22 of them. Learned both the tight end and the fullback position for 2010. One of five team captains. A good blocker with consistent hands. Experience on special teams. Plays I-fullback, tight end, wing back, and H-back. Lead blocker is his role in the Gamecocks’ offense. Wham blocks from wing back, leads on isolation blocks, kick out linebackers, and turns out defensive ends as a tight end. A willing blocker who is effective in run and pass blocking. Will step up and take on a blitz. Has toughness and courage. Relishes his role. Made creases for those who did. Plays smart. Good awareness. Knows his assignments. Can read defenses to execute pass protection and blocking schemes. Good football player with reliable hands.
Mike Blanc, Auburn 6025 290 4.96 A high effort player who is a gap penetrator. Good lateral quickness. Doesn’t stay blocked. Moves on movement. Good instincts to feel and react. Plays with functional strength and awareness. Demonstrates a desire to get to the ball. Good effort, toughness, and aggressiveness in his play. Takes good pursuit angles and finishes long and short pursuit. Plays in a four man front rotation. Jumps out on tape as a playmaker who is always around the ball. Reminds us of Buffalo’s Spencer Johnson, a high motor player who didn’t get drafted, or Jay Ratliff who went in the seventh round. Had seven tackles and a fumble recovery in the South Carolina game. His fumble recovery led to a 35-27 Auburn lead late in the game.
Scott Tolzien, Wisconsin 6020 209 4.93
Two-year starter who is a smart, play action, competitive quarterback with good leadership skills. Accurate ball control passer. Good field vision and poise under game pressure. Does not panic. Has above average setup quickness. Good body control to throw on the move. A good ball handler who is tough and can take a hit. Plays within himself and the offensive scheme. A reliable manager of the game in cold or bad weather. Consistent at what he does and plays with confidence. A developmental player with draftable qualities.
