Offensive Player Spotlight: QB Bo Nix, Oregon

Nix's 92.3 passing grade was the top mark in college football this season. The Heisman finalist also led all signal-callers with an 84.6% adjusted completion rate while tying for first in passing touchdowns (40).

Defensive Player Spotlight: EDGE Laiatu Latu, UCLA

Latu has the best comeback story in college football. While at Washington, he missed the 2020 and 2021 seasons after being forced to medically retire with a neck injury. He then transferred to UCLA and was the highest-graded player in college football this season (95.3). His 21.9% pressure rate led all FBS edge defenders, and his 24.2% pass-rush win rate paced the Power Five at the position.
