BLAINE GABBERT QB MISSOURI: Gabbert was one of the highest ranked high school prospects in the nation but opted to stay in-state and play football for the Tigers, which turned out to be a great decision. He took control of the starting quarterback spot as a sophomore and never looked back, producing two 3,000-yard passing seasons despite struggling down the stretch in 2010. In the Tigers’ last six games Gabbert completed just 58 percent of his passes, with five touchdowns and six interceptions. Regardless of the way
