9. Addison Gillam, Colorado, LB: An unheralded recruit who signed with San Jose State in 2012 and planned on gray-shirting, he ended up in Boulder this winter after Mike MacIntyre changed jobs and took over the Buffs program. The 6-3, 225-pounder, who actually hadn't played organized football till his junior year of high school, has been a revelation for CU. Gillem leads the Pac-12 in tackles by a sizable margin at 11.3 stops per game. "He is really good," said MacIntyre. "He's big, athletic, fast, smart and tough." Not bad for a former "two-star" recruit.
