6. Levonte Whitfield, FSU.
Most people remember this 5’7 183 pound speedster making the game changing 100 yard kickoff return against Auburn in the last BCS Championship game. The Florida State junior’s speed is well documented especially from his days at Jones High where he ran blazing 100 meters times of 10.15, 10.28 and he won the Adidas Dream 100 race.

Whitfield used that speed to lead the nation in kick return average(36.4) in 2013 but he plans to become more of a receiving threat in 2015. He has 16 receptions for 234 yards for his career but will try to improve on those numbers with increased opportunities. The man nicknamed “Kermit” will continue to jump from returner to receiver and make more highlight plays in 2015.
