KeiVarae Russell, CB — "As far as the juniors go, the name to watch is KeiVarae Russell. He looks the part physically, and he seems to have that mentality and short memory. "I think he has top-100 potential, maybe higher. I think he has a chance to be one of the top corners in next year's draft. I think he has that type of talent." Sheldon Day, DL — "A guy I'm intrigued by is Sheldon Day, who is going to kick inside and play defensive tackle. I think he's more suited for that as a three-technique instead of a five-technique defensive end. I'm excited to see what he can do in the interior and see him put that quickness and athleticism to use on the inside. "He's another guy that needs to stay healthy. He struggled with that a bit last year. He's a really talented player. I'm keeping an eye on him as someone who can really emerge onto the scene next season." Ronnie Stanley, OL — "I don't know about next year. He'll be a redshirt sophomore this season. We just saw it with [former Auburn tackle] Greg Robinson, but there's not much precedent for a redshirt sophomore offensive lineman coming out and going that high. "I would say it is highly, highly, highly unlikely that Stanley comes out after this year. He's not going to be ready most likely. He's most likely going to need another year after this. He's a heck of a player, and this season will be big for him because he's moving to the left side." — Andrew Owens Wide receiver DaVaris Daniels has the talent to be an early round pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, but he will need to maximize his potential on and off the field to make it happen.
