Glad to see these two made the list.

83. OT Alex Hurst, LSU

Particulars: 6-6/340, Sr.; Arlington (Tenn.) High

Buzz: After serving as a backup guard as a redshirt freshman in 2009, Hurst has been a starter at tackle in each of the past two seasons; he was a first-team All-SEC pick last season, when he played every offensive snap in six games. He and Chris Faulk gives LSU one of the best tackle tandems in the nation. Hurst, who was born in the Cayman Islands and grew up in the Memphis area, is an avid squirrel hunter.

92. DE Barkevious Mingo, LSU

Particulars: 6-5/240, Jr.; West Monroe (La.) High

Buzz: The guy known as "KeKe" had eight sacks and 13.5 tackles for loss last season despite starting just three games. He also had 11 quarterback hurries. Indeed, he has started just four games in his career but still is seen as an almost-certain NFL first-round pick because of his pass-rushing ability. He has tremendous quickness off the edge and looks to be a perfect fit as a 3-4 linebacker in the NFL. Barkevious has a brother named Hughtavious.

Interesting that both of the spots that Oregon has on the list so far is defensive players. I’m starting to look forward to see what y’all can do in the PAC this year when it comes to stopping people. Sounds like the D is going to build on last year’s success.

I would too…the man is a BEAST…but I think the fact that he didn’t start a lot hurt his stock a little. Now since Adams is gone he will see a lot more playing time and will be in for more than pass rushing

Yeah if it's a list off of last year then I can see him in the 90's but if it's a projected for impact this season I think he's gonna be a top 25 player

"Barner is a burner who will be a first-time starter this fall. He was eighth in the Pac-12 in rushing last season (939 yards, with 11 TDs) serving as a backup to LaMichael James." Not bad for being the backup to the conference's top rusher, looking foward to seeing what he does as the starter.
