Deantre Lewis - RB - Sun Devils

Running back Deantre Lewis may be limited, but will partake of spring practice with the Sun Devils.

As a freshman in 2010, Lewis was the team’s second-leading rusher with 539 yards. What’s more, he demonstrated game-breaking ability as he averaged 5.9 per tote and also averaged 16.1 yards on 23 receptions. All told, Lewis had nearly 1,000 all-purpose yards and 6 TDs. Then what would have been his sophomore season was wiped out thanks to gunshot wounds to the leg resulting from random shooting. With Cameron Marshall declaring early for the NFL draft, new coach Todd Graham and the ASU offense is in need of a RB to step up. Though limited, it will be interesting to see what progress Lewis makes.

Dillon Baxter - RB - Aztecs

Dillon Baxter transferred from USC to San Diego State in January. His personal issues also made their way to San Diego and he will not be with the team during spring practice.

Once a mega-hyped recruit out of Southern California, academics were the primary reason that kept Baxter from realizing his potential at USC. Though he is not eligible to play for the Aztecs until 2013 because of the transfer, he was permitted to be with the team this spring, though not as an active player. Alas, Baxter will not be around the team at all as he continues to struggle with academics and other concerns.

Davonte Neal - WR - Fighting Irish

Parade All-America receiver Davonte Neal signed with Notre Dame after delaying his decision for nearly three weeks.

Whether it will be worth the wait for Irish remains to be seen, of course. They are getting a dyanamic player that had more than 1,000 yards receiving and rushing in his senior season for his Arizona high school. While much can change, Irish fans are likely envisioning QB recruit Gunner Kiel connecting with Neal in the near future.

Montel Harris - RB - Eagles

One week after being cleared to participate in spring drills, Montel Harris re-injured his left knee and the running back is being shut down.

Harris originally injured his left knee late in the 2010 season. He returned for the fourth week of 2011, but Harris re-injured the knee in his second game back and was through for the year. The Eagles’ all-time leading rusher (3,735 yards) was cleared to participate in spring drills, which began Feb. 18. During the first day of drills, however, Harris aggravated the knee and coach Frank Spaziani declared his RB is through for the spring.

Dan Hicks - TE - Seminoles

Among position changes announced by FSU is Dan Hicks moving from defensive end to tight end.

Between a void at the position and suspect blocking among last season's tight ends, the 'Noles were in need of somebody to step in. Hicks is athletic and will likely be utilized more as a blocker, though he will receive plenty of attention when it comes to pass catching. Beau Reliford expired his eligibility after catching 36 passes (3 TDs) in his four seasons.

Kenny Miles - RB - Crimson Tide

Running back Kenny Miles remains unsure if he will return to South Carolina in 2012.

Miles says he will decide his fate by the start of spring practice on March 12. With Marcus Lattimore returning from a torn ACL, it's unlikely Miles will receive much action next season should he remain on board. He also graduated in December, which means he can transfer to another FBS program without having to sit out one season. Miles ran for 626 yards (5.4 YPC) as a freshman in 2009 and has 982 career rushing yards.

Danny O'Brien - QB - Terrapins

Former Maryland quarterback Danny O'Brien is taking a good look at Wisconsin as a possible transfer destination.

Wouldn’t that be something if the Badgers had a graduate transfer under center two straight years? Given UW’s uncertainty at the position with more than one on the depth chart recovering from health issues that were not minor, O’Brien to Wisconsin has to at least be intriguing. O’Brien previously stated that he is looking at other schools, including Stanford and Michigan State.

A.C. Leonard - TE - Gators

Florida tight end A.C. Leonard was arrested Wednesday night and faces a charge of simple battery assault.

A dispute with a woman unfortunately turned physical and led to the player's arrest. Leonard missed the first eight games of his freshman season while recovering from knee surgery. In the final five games, including the Gator Bowl, he was 8-99-0. Leonard had 65 yards on 3 receptions against Florida State on Nov. 26.
