Sports Illustrated (ranked 11th): Sam Howell enters 2021 as arguably the nation’s top QB, having thrown for more than 7,000 yards in two seasons. Athlon Sports (ranked 10th): True freshman Tony Grimes is a rising star to watch at cornerback, and this unit will look to get more contributions out of Myles Murphy and Desmond Evans in the trenches.
