Becton helped Highland Springs High School win back-to-back state titles before matriculating to Louisville. The four-star recruit's huge frame gave him a chance to contribute immediately, and he started 10 games at right tackle for the Cardinals. Becton started 12 games as a sophomore, 10 at left tackle and two on the right side. He showed great promise during his junior season, starting 11 games at left tackle and garnering first-team All-ACC honors for his road-grading ways. Becton chose not to play in the team's bowl game to prepare for the draft.

Mims' family reunions are stacked with former football players. Three of his brothers played high school football. His cousin, David Mims II, played cornerback at Texas State, and David's father, David, was a running back for Baylor. Another cousin, Keyarris Garrett, led the nation in receiving yards as a senior and was signed by Carolina as an undrafted free agent. Mims built an impressive resume at Daingerfield High School in Texas, including earning honorable mention All-State honors in football, District MVP honors in basketball and winning the Class 3A 200-meter state title as a junior. He became Baylor's next "big thing" at receiver in his sophomore season, as Big 12 coaches voted him second-team all-conference after he started 11 of 12 games played and caught 61 passes for 1,087 yards (17.8 per catch) and eight touchdowns. Mims had a huge outing against Oklahoma that year, grabbing 11 throws for 192 yards and three scores. He did not see many passes his freshman year (four catches for 24 yards and 6.0 yards per catch in 11 games) due to the presence of talented players like KD Cannon and Ish Zamora ahead of him on the depth chart. His production dropped as the Bears took a step back in 2018 (55 catches, 794 receiving yards, 14.4 yards per catch), but he still managed a team-high eight receiving scores in 12 games with 10 starts. The Bears were back in 2019, partially because Mims was again torching opponents (66 catches, 1,020 receiving yards, 15.5 yards per catch, 12 receiving TDs in 14 starts) on his way to first-team all-conference honors.

Davis earned a scholarship in track at Cal and walked on to the football team. He has excelled in both sports. As a redshirt freshman in football, he was named the team's Most Valuable Special Teams Player and started the final three games at cornerback (25 tackles, three pass breakups). Davis was again the team's special teams MVP in 2017, co-leading the FBS with 39 kickoff returns and posting 826 yards on those returns (ranking ninth in the country). He also started six times at safety (33 tackles, one interception) that season, the position in which he would start all 13 games and gain honorable mention All-Pac 12 status as a junior (56 stops, 1.5 for loss, four interceptions with one pick-six, five pass breakups). Davis was a second-team all-conference pick as a senior (57 tackles, two interceptions, four pass breakups, two forced fumbles) in 12 games (11 starts). He missed the team's bowl game due to injury, however, and received a medical flag at the Senior Bowl. In track, Davis had many accomplishments, including winning the 2017 Pac-12 meet in the 110-meter hurdles and finishing third in the 2018 outdoor nationals in the 60-meter hurdles.

Zuniga was a basketball player growing up, following in the footsteps of his father, Carlos, who played hoops at Tulane. Jabari Zuniga played just one year of high school football and grew four inches that year to become a legitimate SEC prospect. Zuniga redshirted in 2015 to work on his physique and study the game, which paid off the following year (25 tackles, 8.5 for loss, team-high five sacks in 13 games, three starts). He played through injuries in 2017, starting six of 10 games played (34 tackles, eight for loss, four sacks) and then starred as a junior, starting all 13 games while posting 45 stops, 11 for loss, and 6.5 sacks. Injuries haunted Zuniga throughout 2019, however, as he managed to play in just six contests (five starts) while dealing with a high ankle sprain. He came out of the gate strong early (14 tackles, seven for loss, three sacks in six games).

Lamical Perine (pronounced la-MICHAEL PEE-ryne) is from a football family, starting with his father, who played at Auburn. He is also related to Jacksonville Jaguars star linebacker Myles Jack and former Oklahoma and current NFL back Samaje Perine. The Mobile, Alabama native moved to Gainesville, playing in 13 games as a reserve (91 carries, 421 rushing yards, 4.6 yards per carry, one rushing TD; nine catches, 161 receiving yards, 17.9 yards per catch, one receiving TD). Perine led the Gators in rushing the following two seasons, starting eight contests in 2017 (136 carries, 562 rushing yards, 4.1 yards per carry, eight rushing TDs in 11 games) but just one as a junior (134 carries, 826 rushing yards, 6.2 yards per carry, seven rushing TDs in 13 games). He was accused of battery in May 2019 when he allegedly pulled the arm of a driver who was trying to tow his mother's truck. No charges were filed. Perine once again was Florida's top runner in 2019 (131 carries, 677 rushing yards, 5.2 yards per carry, six rushing TDs) and was among the team's top receivers (40 catches, 262 receiving yards, 6.6 yards per catch, five receiving TDs) as he started all 13 games.

Morgan grew up playing in the shadow of Lambeau Field, starring at Ashwaubenon High School and even wearing Brett Favre's No. 4 jersey. He started his career in the MAC with Bowling Green, finding himself as a seven-game starter his redshirt freshman season. In 12 games overall, Morgan completed 56.1 percent of his passes (183 of 326) for 2,082 yards and 16 touchdowns, but he also threw 15 interceptions. He began the 2017 season as the Falcons' starter, as well, but was replaced by freshman Jarret Doege after three games. He returned to the lineup for four more games, with three starts (96 of 212, 45.3 completion percentage, 1,260 yards, nine touchdowns, seven interceptions). Morgan decided to transfer after that season to play at FIU and ended up the Conference USA Newcomer of the Year after completing 65.3 percent of his passes for 2,727 yards and a school-record 26 touchdowns against just seven interceptions. He was honorable mention All-C-USA again in 2019 (207 of 357, 58.0 completion percentage, 2,585 yards, 14 touchdowns, five interceptions in 12 starts).

Typically, offensive linemen are not voted a team's Offensive MVP (especially if they start just eight of 12 games played) but Clark earned that honor for his work at left tackle in 2017. He had shown potential as a redshirt freshman the previous year, starting twice on the blindside in 12 appearances. The All-Metro pick from Greensboro was a team captain in 2018, starting all 12 games at his left tackle spot. Conference USA coaches named him first-team all-conference after he started all 13 games for the 49ers in 2019.

Hall was an outstanding receiver at Bishop McDevitt High School in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, earning first-team Class AAA all-state honors as a senior and averaging 17.4 yards per catch throughout his high school career. Despite that success, he was considered just a two-star recruit. Hall also played defensive back in high school, and Virginia coaches had no reservations putting him in the fire at that spot as a true freshman. Hall played in all 12 games with seven starts at cornerback, intercepting two passes and breaking up four others while making 25 tackles on the year. He started all 13 games in 2017, posting 47 stops, three tackles for loss, one sack, one interception and nine pass breakups. ACC coaches could not help but name him first-team all-conference after he led the FBS with 22 pass breakups in 2018. The 13-game starter also recorded 62 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, two sacks, two interceptions and two forced fumbles on the year. His senior season was short-circuited by injury, however, as he only started six games before requiring surgery on his left ankle (20 tackles, three for loss, one sack, four pass breakups).

Even though Mann was one of the top specialist prospects in the 2016 class coming out of Houston's Cy-Fair High School, it took until his third season to earn the starting punting job for the Aggies because of the grip Shane Tripucka had on the position. He punted twice in 2016 (47.0 per) and was the team's kickoff specialist in his first two seasons (55 touchbacks on 76 kicks in 2016; 33 on 73 in 2017). Mann's first year booting the ball for the Aggies resulted in him earning unanimous All-American honors and the Ray Guy Award as the nation's top punter. He set the NCAA record with 51.0 yards per punt, placing 19 of 50 punts inside the 20-yard line and forcing 11 fair catches. Mann also performed well in his kickoff duties (57 of 80 for touchbacks) and made four coverage tackles on the year. Mann had a rare seven tackles in coverage in 2019, garnering second-team Associated Press All-American and first-team All-SEC honors with 47.1 yards per punt (ranked in the top five nationally), 26 of 57 punts placed inside the 20 against just four touchbacks (10 fair catches, one blocked).
