Defense
Brandon Jenkins, DE, Florida State, Sr.
When Florida State had its unprecedented era of college-football success, it was defensive players who showed the way. Now that the Seminoles are again knocking on the door of the sport’s elite, that theme has been renewed. Jenkins has helped the resurgence with a career 36.5 tackles for a loss. He’s poised to make a name for himself as one of the best-ever Seminole defenders.
