9. DeAndre McDaniel

DeAndre McDaniel was named an All-American in both 2009 and 2010.

One of the most memorable plays from the defensive back came in 2009 when McDaniel intercepted Christian Ponder late in the fourth quarter to clinch the win for the Tigers.

McDaniel was the first Tiger ever to record eight interceptions and 100 tackles in the same season. He was a perfect mixture of physicality and athleticism.
