This ought to be fun!

Brian Nance, LB

Nance is a speedy second-level defender with great range. He stands 6'3", 210 lbs and shows the potential to be an excellent blitzer. He'll easily be a three-down 'backer in college due to his agility and athleticism in coverage.

Nance looks to be down to Arkansas, Baylor and UCLA and will be announcing on Saturday.

Prediction: Baylor
