Answer however you want. I'm going to go with guys who aren't currently starters but I expect to play an increased role as the season goes along and set themselves up to become a star in 2014.

Defensive Line: Tyler Henington
Linebackers: Woodson Greer
Defensive Backs: Marques Mosley
Offensive Line: Alex Kelley
Wide Receivers: Jeff Thomas
Tight Ends: Kyle Slavin (but watch out for Robert Orban making the jump from the scout team in '14)
Running Backs: Donta Abron
 
Michael Adkins
Kyle Slavin
Kenneth Crawley
Josh Tupou
Jimmie Gilbert
 
Bell (new position but lotsa coaching available)
Parker (will gain more and more confidence as the Uzi garners more attention)
Nembot (still learning)
J Thomas (other receivers will be the focus of defenses; can he step up? I think so)

Awuzie maybe; I kinda think he's gonna reach a certain peak and then level out, but watch out next year
 
DL: Kafovalu
LB: Greer
DB's: Bell
OL: Nembot
WR's: Ross
TE's: Slavin
RB's: Abron
 
Would love to see Adkins get some carries and show as a future speed back. I know Awuzie already impresses but I would also add him to the list b/c he is a pure freshman learning the D and playing nickel which he never had before. I really think he is going to get 3+ INTs this year. I hope Nembot improves-he gave up 4 QB pressures against CSU and that could be uglier against better teams.

:stupid:

Pretty much this, but I'd throw in Mustoe and Gillam; the former because of the need for OL depth, while the latter because he's relatively new to FB.
 
I'm excited to see how Gillam improves this year, he clearly has a wealth of talent as a true freshman but is far from a polished LB. I think he has a very high ceiling and could be one of the best LBs in the PAC with some time.

I was going to mention him also. He will only get better.
 
Not giving up on Yuri. A redshirt year going up against PRich in practice may help him out immeasurably. A Crawley/Wright tandem at CB is an exciting proposition.
 
Thomas will have a lot of opportunities to catch a lot of balls this year. Teams will be concentrating on PRich, and that will leave DD, Spruce and JT open. If the OL can hold up, this offense has the potential to be extremely potent.
 
I'm most intrigued to see how good Gillam can get this year. He has the makings of a great CU linebacker
 
I am NOT going to bother naming names, but whoever needs to improve to where we can start getting interceptions is too I want to improve the most. I am tired of seeing us tackle after the catch and never intercept the ball and run it back.
 
While Gillam was spectacular at times, I saw a lot of bad plays as you would expect.
Nembot has to get better.
Not sure J. Thomas will do anything if he stays in the dog house.

Bell and Orms both at new positions will each get better.

So many young guys!

Yeah. We technically have 15 scholarship seniors. But 5 of them are former walk-ons. We'll see a much more veteran team in 2014.
 
Is Wood an acceptable answer? I realize he lit up CSU, but I see him maturing and gaining confidence and improving as a DI QB.
 
3 Step Drops are helping this Oline tremendously and Nembot will only get better and better. I think he will be on watch-lists next year.
