A postseason ranking of the Big East's Top 30 players ...
No. 27
Kion Wilson, LB, South Florida, Sr.
Preseason rank: NR
Why him here: Few players are tougher than Wilson. In the Florida State game, he dislocated a finger and sustained a cut on his hand that required 26 stitches. After missing six minutes of action, he told his coaches he was ready to go back in.
Wilson was a real leader for the Bulls defense and finished with a team high 105 tackles, an interception and a forced fumble. A bit undersized (235 pounds), he'll have some convincing to do to make it at the next level. But he was impressive at the East-West Shrine game, where he was his team's second-leading tackler.
No. 28: Jabaal Sheard, DE, Pittsburgh
No. 29: Lindsey Witten, DE, Connecticut
No. 30: Jeff Linkenbach, OT, Cincinnati
