4. OG Kevin Jarvis Maine South (Mich State)- mean, nasty and did I mention mean?
5. OT Dalton Wagner Richmond Burton - 6-foot-9 OT with feet and good quickness are pretty rare.

8. TE Jake Marwede Loyola Academy (Duke)- converted QB a steal for the Dukies.
9. DE Isaiah Green-May Bolingbrook (Wisconsin)- all arms and legs. That will change in Madison

12. DE Jacub Panasiuk Lake Park- quick, explosive and also has that Panasiuk boys nasty streak.
13. OL Tyler Jost Libertyville (Iowa State)-still has a lot of growing/filling out still to do. Will be at 300lb quick
