McGraw is coming back from injury, but if you didn't know you wouldn't know. On Saturday, he brought a lot of energy and effort to the defensive end. McGraw picked up big stops and closed dribble drive lanes.

O'Connor went down with an injury and was in street clothes this weekend. So why am I evaluating him? Because the fact that he was there is a recruitable trait. O'Connor traveled 8 hours each way to be there and support his teammates and his program. That's MVP stuff right there.
