Will Johnson, Michigan

Johnson, another Wolverines star, was second on the team with four interceptions, along with 27 total tackles and one tackle for loss. His knack for big plays in critical moments hasn't gone unnoticed.

Luther Burden, Missouri

Burden's 2023 campaign was nothing short of spectacular. He racked up 1,212 receiving yards and nine touchdowns, earning him a spot as a Biletnikoff semifinalist, First-Team All-SEC selection, Second-Team All-America, and a place on the 2023 Maxwell Award watch list. His accolades make a strong case for a 99 rating.

Harold Perkins, LSU

Perkins continued his dominance with over 70 tackles for the second consecutive season. His stats include 13 tackles for loss, five and a half sacks, and one interception. The LSU linebacker is a nightmare for offensive linemen and deserves top billing.
