Big Ten Players in College Sports Network’s Top 100 Returning CFB Players (20. Koi, 66. Darius)



It's really impressive for a safety on a less-publicized team to rate that high, especially with only one year of college ball.

If he gets offensive reps and shines in them, he could be the ultra-dark-horse Heisman candidate, if your bookie even has him on the board.
 

Nice to see the recognition. Imho, Darius is being under-rated......

Thoughts: Keeping in mind that lists such as these are at least 50% b.s., (1) Indiana could have another excellent year; (2) USC was hit hard by the transfer portal, though it has a lot of top-end HS talent coming in; (3) Michigan with only one on list?; (4) Iowa's one player on the list was a squeaker, ranked 98 of the top 100; (5) UCLA's one player is Tennessee transfer Nico Iamaleava; (6) Surprised Nebraska, with so many top recruiting classes, didn't place anybody on list; (7) Not surprised the Badgers placed nobody on the list.
