I am making the FCS profiles first, because once the FBS season starts we'll mostly be talking about our stars at that level, and we have wonderful breakdowns done each year accompaniedwith pictures. JimmyChitwood and many other regular posters here, have really done a great job with breakdowns of playersover the yearsin theCollegeStar section. In fact,it wasone of these threads that first caught my attetion whenI first discovered caste football. Anyways,later on we can re-visit the FCS threads and list some of our standouts performances. <div></div><div>Here are two receivers who are long and athletic and cannot be piegeon holed into the slot position. Both guyswent over1,000 yards receiving last year. Kaufman had 15 tds and Spadola had 9, lets hope for a injury free season and hopefully get a shot at being drafted(Like Mariani and Toone)</div><div>

Brandon Kaufman, Eastern Washington, Jr., 6-5, 205 - With star tailback
Taiwan Jones sidelined for the FCS semifinals and championship game last season,
Kaufman took his play to an elite level, catching a combined 17 passes for 255
yards and three touchdowns for the national champion Eagles. He finished the
season with 76 receptions for 1,214 yards and 15 touchdowns in 15 games, and was
the first EWU player to score on the new red turf at Roos Field. He uses his big
body to be physical in traffic and long legs to get behind the secondary.

Ryan Spadola, Lehigh, Jr., 6-3, 200 - If the Mountain Hawks arrived a year
ahead of schedule last season, Spadola was one of the difference-makers. He
caught 78 passes for 1,130 yards and nine touchdowns and earned third-team
honors on The Sports Network/Fathead.com FCS All-America Team. Against Harvard,
he had 14 receptions for 206 yards and two touchdowns. Spadola is both fast and
athletic. He finished last season in a big way, catching touchdowns against
arch-rival Lafayette and then in FCS playoff games against Northern Iowa and
Delaware.

in today's game between Wofford (of the FCS) and Clemson (of the affletic ACC), a match-up filled with big plays, possibly the most explosive player on the field was Wofford senior wide receiver Brenton Bersin. the 6-4, 210-pound wideout only had 2 catches, but they went for 127 yards, including a 66-yard touchdown.

big plays are nothing new for Bersin who averaged a stellar 22.0 yards-per-catch a season ago, when he led Wofford in all receiving categories. his 9 touchdown catches last season tied the school's single-season record, and he managed it on a mere 32 catches. Bersin was a preseason pick to be second-team all-conference ... but perhaps he has higher aspirations.
