Tony Knight

Keep an eye on Knight's status after a June arrest for being held in contempt of court. If he is granted full playing time for 2012, though, Knight could be among the nation's top breakout runners. He received positive reviews this spring and is likely the feature back for Nevada this season. In an offense that is annually among the nation's leaders in rushing production – something that's likely to occur under the leadership of promising quarterback Cody Fajardo – that should mean big numbers for Knight, who has impressed with his power as a runner. If Knight doesn't emerge as the top Nevada back, list whoever that is in this slot – if it isn't Knight, it's likely Stefphon Jefferson.
