RB - Jaydn Ott

One of the best running backs in the nation has not been on the tear that many people believe he could be, but he has also been nursing an ankle injury. Coming off this bye week heading into the biggest game of the season for the Golden Bears, Ott will be looking to take off and reinsert himself as one of the best backs in the country. He has 40 carries for only 133 yards on the ground but, he has started to get loose in the passing game.

LB - Teddye Buchanan

The star senior has been fantastic in the middle of the field for the Golden Bears. In only four games played, he already totals 40 total tackles, and 2.5 sacks and is the other half of an impressive middle field for the Golden Bear defense. The Bears have been able to contain many tight ends and players in the middle of the field because of the talent there. They are also ball hawks who will try to get it no matter where the ball is placed on the field.

DB - Nohl Williams

Lockdown corner. Williams has been special to start this season. He already has four interceptions and three pass deflections with nine solo tackles to add to that. He will be one of the many players on watch against Cam Ward. The UNLV transfer has been everything for this secondary and is one of the many reasons why the Golden Bears lead the nation in interceptions and takeaways.
