EASTERN DIVISION
FLORIDA LB AMARI BURNEY, Soph. — Burney, a converted safety, takes over for NFL-bound Vosean Joseph at the all-important "star" position in Florida's defense. The 6-foot-2, 222-pound sophomore can chase down ball carriers, run with receivers and blitz off the edge — the kind of versatility that will keep offenses guessing. Joseph led Florida with 93 tackles last season — nine for loss — and had five pass breakups.
