3. LaNorris Sellers (South Carolina)
Sellers may have been a surprise this season to everyone outside of the Palmetto State. It was Settles' performance as much as anything that led to South Carolina's top-25 ranking and 9-3 record in the regular season. His versatility in throwing the ball and using his legs made Settles a dangerous threat at the quarterback position. He completed 64.9% of his passes in the regular season with 17 touchdowns and seven interceptions, and contributed another 665 yards on the ground along with six rushing touchdowns.
