NAME, POSITION

SCHOOL

'04 CLASS

2003 STATS

SKINNY

Matt Leinart, QB

USC

Jr.

3,556 yards passing, 38 TDs

He has the goods and the horses. Will he have protection from a young offensive line?

Darren Sproles, RB (left)

Kansas State

Sr.

1,986 yards, 16 TDs

The 5'7" sprite will be K-State's go-to guy and could get more than 30 carries a game.

Brad Smith, QB

Missouri

Jr.

3,383 total yards, 29 TDs (18 rushing)

The game's most electric QB has set every school rushing record for the position.

Mike Williams, WR

USC

Jr.

95 catches, 1,314 yards, 16 TDs

He'll have plenty of chances to shine as the Trojans look to repeat as national champions.

Larry Fitzgerald, WR

Pitt

Jr.

1,672 yards, 22 TDs

He'll make another strong run if he stays- and if the Panthers can find a quarterback.

Jason White returns, but he won't be favored. Meet the 2004 Heisman front-runners
