5. Samaje Perine, Oklahoma, 5-10, 234 lbs., Jr.: A dark horse for the Heisman, Perine plays in a fast paced high scoring offense. Perine is a nasty runner that picks up momentum after contact and he has the quick feet to make defenders look silly.

The Sooners have a two headed monster in their backfield with Joe Mixon in the mix, so it’s just a matter if Perine gets enough carries to put up the numbers he needs to.

Next: Kareem Hunt, Toledo
