This page was last updated April 12, 2010.

1. Rashawn Jackson, Virginia
   Height: 6-1. Weight: 239.
   Projected 40 Time: 4.68.
   Combine 40 Time: 4.73.
   Benchx225: . Vertical: . Broad: .
   Projected Round (2010): 5-6.
   2/6/09: Didn’t do much stat-wise, logging just 16 carries and 12 catches. However, he was charged with felony in connection with a burglary. Let’s hope the dollar amount he stole eclipsed his total touches in 2008.
   
   7/26/08: One of the top blockers in the 2010 class, Rashawn Jackson is good at getting tough yards and catching the ball out of the backfield.
   
   
2. John Conner, Kentucky
   Height: 5-11. Weight: 241.
   Projected 40 Time: 4.68.
   Combine 40 Time: 4.72.
   Benchx225: 24. Vertical: . Broad: .
   Projected Round (2010): 6-7.
   10/10/09: Has only six carries in 2009. Too busy sending a robot back through time to prevent the future.
   
   7/26/08: A solid blocker who caught seven passes out of the backfield as a sophomore. He should get more looks there now that Steve Johnson, Keenan Burton and Jacob Tamme are off to the NFL.
   
   
3. Manase Tonga, BYU
   Height: 5-11. Weight: 245.
   Projected 40 Time: 4.74.

9. James Aldridge, Notre Dame

   Benchx225: . Vertical: . Broad: .
   Projected Round (2010): 7-FA.
   10/10/09: Has missed a lot of time this year with a shoulder injury.
   
   2/6/09: Really struggled as a junior. James Aldridge rushed for 357 yards and three scores on a 3.9 YPC.
   
   7/25/08: Don’t pay much attention to James Aldridge’s 2007 stats (121 carries, 463 yards, 0 TDs, 3.8 YPC), as he was hindered by poor blocking up front. Against the two Michigan schools, Aldridge totaled 155 yards on just 28 rushes. Aldridge has an excellent 40 at his size, though he’s not a threat to catch the ball out of the backfield.
   
   
10. Jack Corcoran, Rutgers
    Height: 6-1. Weight: 230.
    Projected 40 Time: 4.67.
