Mills was the top-rated quarterback recruit in the country in 2017 coming out of Greater Atlanta Christian High School. He redshirted his first year at Stanford, then played in one game as a reserve the following fall (0-of-2 passing; one rush for five yards). Mills took over for the injured K.J. Costello in 2019, starting six of eight games played (158 of 241, 65.6 completion percentage, 1,960 yards, 11 touchdowns, five interceptions) and setting a school record with 504 passing yards against Washington State. Costello transferred to Mississippi State after the season, so the job was Mills' for 2020. The team captain garnered honorable mention All-Pac-12 honors, ranking fourth in the FBS with 25.8 completions per game in five starts (129 of 195, 66.2 completion percentage, 1,508 yards, seven touchdowns, three interceptions; three rushing touchdowns). Mills missed the season opener due to COVID-19 testing protocol errors. -- by Chad Reuter

Collins, a three-time All-Metro selection at Clay-Chalkville High School, was a four-star recruit who had a minor role on offense as a true freshman, playing in just four games (three receptions for 27 yards). He was named Michigan's Most Improved Player on offense in 2018. Big Ten coaches also voted Collins honorable mention all-conference after he caught 38 passes for 632 yards (16.6 average) and six scores in 13 games (11 starts). He was named Michigan's Offensive Player of the Year in 2019, as he led the Big Ten with an average of 19.7 yards per catch. He made 37 catches for 729 yards and a team-high seven TDs. Collins opted out of 2020 season and accepted an invitation to the Senior Bowl. -- by Chad Reuter

Jordan has looked the part of the No. 1 tight end recruit in the 2018 recruiting class since his arrival at "The U." As a senior at Bishop Gorman High School, Jordan scored 13 touchdowns and helped his school win its ninth straight state title. The Hurricanes started him in 11 of his 12 appearances as a true freshman, and ACC coaches named him second-team all-conference for his play (32 receptions, 287 yards, 9.0 average, four touchdowns). Jordan missed the end of the 2019 season with a lower-body injury but played well enough in 10 starts to be voted first-team all-conference and earn a Mackey Award finalist spot (35 receptions, 495 yards, 14.1 average, two touchdowns). A shoulder injury kept him out of three games in 2020, but he was still productive in the eight contests he started (38 receptions, 576 yards, 15.2 average, seven touchdowns). -- by Chad Reuter

Wallow, a three-star recruit, played in all 14 games for the Horned Frogs as a true freshman (eight tackles). He started seven of 13 games played the following year, six at linebacker and one at strong safety (72 tackles, 5.5 for loss, with three sacks, two pass breakups). He landed first-team All-Big 12 honors as a junior. He led the conference in tackles with 125 and ranked ninth in the FBS with 10.4 tackles per contest while also leading TCU with 18 tackles for loss (including 3.5 sacks), intercepting a pass and breaking up two others. Wallow was once again a first-team all-conference pick in 2020, leading the Horned Frogs with 90 tackles, nine for loss (with three sacks), and three forced fumbles in 10 starts. -- by Chad Reuter

Lopez was an All-Arizona defensive lineman at Tempe's Mesquite High School as a senior, one year after earning those honors as on offensive lineman. He wound up at New Mexico State to begin his collegiate career, though, getting on the field regularly as a true freshman (23 tackles and seven starts in 11 games). He was an honorable mention All-Sun Belt Conference pick as a sophomore (39 tackles, 4.5 for loss, two sacks, three pass breakups) and was a major force as a 12-game starter the following year (63 tackles, 12.5 for loss, four sacks) for the Aggies, even though he did not receive all-conference recognition. Lopez received an extra year of eligibility after 2019 because he only played in four games due to a leg injury (11 tackles, 2.5 for loss, two sacks, three starts). He decided to transfer back to his home state to play for the Wildcats in 2020. Lopez was an honorable mention All-Pac-12 selection, recording 18 tackles, including a team-high four for loss, with one sack while starting all five games. -- by Chad Reuter
