this summer? I want to hear about some of the new guys I need to look out for this season so I can feel like an informed fan. Post whatever you can about the player (video, pictures, profile, stats) and let me know why I need to look out for him. Give me an offensive and defensive player.
For Auburn, I've already mentioned him but I have to do it again:
Offense
Freshman RB: Tre Mason #21 (number has been changed since picture)
Highlight reel from high school
This kid has been scoring TD's like crazy in scrimmage and everyone is having a hard time tackling him. He's got a great build but is still somehow fast as hell. RB Coach Curtis Luper was quoted last night as saying that Tre is, "Onterio McCalebb fast. Onterio might dispute that, (laughs) but he is." I look for this kid to contribute from game 1.
Defense
Freshman CB: Robenson Therezie #27
Highlight reel from high school
Apparently, this kid has kept his head-hunting nature from his high school days. DB Coach Tommy Thigpen has been quoted as saying that Robenson Therezie is, "everything you look for" in a corner and will set the model" for Auburn CB's. A lot of comparisons are being made to former Auburn CB Carlos Rogers.
*Disclaimer: I know that these are freshman, but that's the point of this thread. Inform us of guys we don't already know about on your team. All of this is subjective and obviously we won't know how good they are until they play this season, so save the "homer" comments.*

Malcolm Mitchell is a true freshman who will get a shite ton of PT including the first game. He has been the most surprising player in camp. He was the #1 rated CB in the country but we started out at WR and based on his play he'll stay there.
Jarvis Jones at OLB, who transferred from USC after playing there and starting as a true freshman.

Can we count Duron Carter? His not practicing seems to be a daily topic. BTW......what seems to be the hold up with him?

Enrique Florence has been singled out by Roof and given high praise as well.

I thought this quote was in reference to Florence? I think I read it on scout.

Jarvis Landry's hands are like glue.

Another converted safety, Karnell Hatcher, is doing well at linebacker for Chavis: LSUSports.com
quote:
One area of concentration for the Tigers during camp has been that of the middle linebacker spot, where the Tigers have to replace all-conference selection Kelvin Sheppard. LSU is looking to converted safety Karnell Hatcher and Kevin Minter to fill the void at middle linebacker this year.
"Karnell made some plays in the middle today," Miles said. "Both Karnell and Kevin got snaps with the first team today and they did some good things. I also thought the Ryan Baker had a good day. He made some plays at the other linebacker spot."

I have a friend on the staff and he says Marcus Stokes has been TEARING it up. Little known 3* WR/Returner out of Birmingham. My friend says he's personally seen him return 4 kickoffs for TD's and it wasn't because of bad coverage. Saban is apparently very pleased with his new secret weapon but seems to be keeping it on the downlow.
