Players to watch in 2015

    Every year, new players break out into the wide open arena of college football. Here are a few names of potential stars who could be in the national spotlight in 2015.

    Arizona's Anu Solomon, QB, So.


    Solomon's freshman season was an exciting one, passing for Arizona Wildcat freshman records of 3793 yards, and 28 TD's to only 9 INT's. He placed 3rd in the nation with his 540 pass attempts, and 2nd with his 677 total plays. His legs scored him 2 TD's, and no one will forget his long TD bomb that led Arizona over California in the final seconds. Oh, and leading his team to be the only team who beat Oregon in the regular season? He posted 4 300 yard games, 2 of those going for over 400.

    While Solomon doesn't consistently throw a ball perfectly every play, he still makes plays. The offense he plays in allows him to move out of the pocket and throw on the run. He throws accurately on the run, and seems to be able to make all the throws. Watch Solomon in 2015, he can only get better.



    UCLA's Paul Perkins, RB, Sr.

        Paul is a bog boy. At 5-11, 200 pounds, Perkins is the new face of the UCLA Bruins running game. Running 6 times over 100 yards last season and putting together 1575 yards and 9 TD's, he's a rising star.

    He's a low power runner, with some amazing game speed and quick moves. Perkins is going to be the feature back in UCLA, and he's going to shine in 2015.











    Arizona's Scooby Wright, LB, Jr. 

    Wright was an absolute beast in 2014. Collecting national high totals of 163 tackles, 29 tackles for loss, and then 14 sacks, Scooby won himself the Vince Lombardi Award for his incredible skill and show in the 2014 season. Add 6 Forced Fumbles, another national high, Scooby finished 9th in the Hiesman voting. 9 times over the course of 2014, Wright finished with 10 or more tackles in a game.

     Watching Scooby reminds me of former Boston College award winning Linebacker and now All-Pro Linebacker Luke Kuechly, with his high motor and persistence on the playing field. Not only is he a bone crushing hitter, but he wraps up and finishes a tackle every play. He loves collision. I can't imagine a team finding a way to shut him down.
