#18 T.Y. Hilton, Florida International

FIU is not on national television too much, but as you can see by this You Tube punt return touchdown versus Kansas in 2008 (his first play of his college career), Hilton is a player.

The 5'10", 183-pound senior is even better now. Last year Hilton had a 95-yard kickoff return TD versus Louisiana-Monroe and an 80-yard touchdown run against Troy. He finished the season with 1,130 yards from scrimmage (848 receiving, 282 rushing) with another 959 return yards.

Speaking of which, Hilton has five career scores off kick returns (four kickoffs, one punt).

#23 Lance Dunbar - North Texas

You might not have ever seen him play, but Dunbar is legit. His career 6.1 yards-per-carry average ranks third among all FBS running backs. At 5'9" and weighing 203 pounds, Dunbar is rock solid. He also scored 14 touchdowns in his final eight games last year, which included an 83-yard scamper versus Louisiana-Monroe.

And before you dismiss these numbers as a product of the Sun Belt, he actually had his best game of the season against a Big 12 school. In the Mean Green’s 49-41 season-ending loss to Kansas State, Dunbar rushed 22 times for 270 yards (12.3 YPC) and three touchdowns, while adding another TD on the receiving end.

His speed is certainly aided by artificial turf, and Dunbar will only play one game on a grass field this year, when North Texas visits Alabama on Sept. 17.

ASU has hopes for Frankie Jackson to emerge as a home-run threat. We haven't had a true home-run threat in a while.

Reggie Arnold was as close as we got, but he consistently had issues with his ankles and never got to show his true breakaway speed.

Frankie just became eligible: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQZvSn6cuP4

Be on the lookout.

Chancellor should be on this list based on his kick returns last season. I hope he will be a playmaker ar WR this season too.

He had an impressive year no doubt, but nowhere near good enough to list him among the top 25 in all of college football.

A little shocked by no Bobby Rainey but it is a very deep list so not surprised too much.

Don't really see Rainey as a "home run threat" the majority of his scores were from inside five yards. He had three eleven yard touchdown runs, but his only true "home run" was his fifty nine yard TD run against Kentucky.
