Re: Breakout Star?
Here's what I got from camp:
Offense – WR DeAndre Richardson. He could start over Holley, if not at UAB, then shortly thereafter. Has a knack for getting open. Has had some drops, but could really emerge as a go-to guy.
TE Darian Williams – with Rob Housler in a "funk," the burden falls to Williams, a junior who said he learned a lot from Jason Harmon and Jamari Grant.
Defense – DT Jarvis Givens is not new, but the junior has had a great camp and was credited for 3 sacks in the FanFest scrimmage.
LB Randell Johnson – this is a redshirt freshman who I said to watch in the spring, and he didn't disappoint. He is hurt now with an ankle sprain, but he was pressing for a starting job and I expect to see him on the field a lot.

Corey Henry is another one to keep an eye on I think…I hope those older guys can get in the backfield this year but it seems like Henry is giving them a good run.
Ted: you traveling to B-Ham next week?

Jean has had the potential to be a stud since he arrived. NO Bowl 2007 he was the leading wideout on the team, the guy played great, he's just had some strong guys in front of him.

Offensively, like Ted and others have said, I think Darian Williams will have a big year. Another tight end who has looked good in practice, has been redshirt freshman Nexon Dorvilus. He’s clearly behind Housler and Williams on the depth chart, but Dorvilus has gotten reps in team drills with the first team. Dorvilus could have a year like Williams did last season (214 yards, 2 Tds) as the team’s third tight end.
Defensively, maybe Tarvoris Hill? He hasn’t gotten too much credit for what he has done over his career, but he enters the season as one of the Owls most experienced defenders playing in 35 games. Having impressed at summer workouts and fall camp, Hill appears ready for his senior season. Hill should benefit instanty from an improving pass rush and could be primed for a lot of turnovers this season.

I've been a big Givens fan since he signed. Would love to see him and Cyrille develop a legit pass rush. A little Thunder and Lighting action!!!!
