By now, every college football fan knows the names – and feats – of Reggie Bush, Vince Young, Brady Quinn, and Matt Leinart, all of whom populate most All-American teams. Here’s a look at some lesser-known players who enjoyed tremendous seasons in 2005. Call them the “other” All-Americans.

QB COLT BRENNAN, Hawaii
6-foot-3, 205 pounds, Sophomore
350-of-515 for 4,301 yards, 35 TD, 13 INT

Brennan filled the big shoes of the departed Timmy Chang as the triggerman at the controls of June Jones’s runand-shoot offense at Hawaii. It’s an attack that’s designed to pile up big statistics for the quarterback, but Brennan was very efficient running it, with an outstanding plus-23 touchdown-tointerception ratio.

Brennan also averaged a more-thanrespectable 8.4 yards per attempt, excellent given the emphasis on short passes in the run-and-shoot. Brennan, who was second in the nation in total offense (371.3 yards per game) and eighth in passing efficiency, still has two more years to grow in the system and should have the Warriors back in a bowl game next year.

Honorable Mention: Brett Basanez, Northwestern, 6-foot-2, 210, Senior. 276-of-427 for 3,206 yards, 19 TD, 13 INT

RB GARRETT WOLFE, N. Illinois
5-foot-7, 174, Junior
242 carries, 1,580 yards, 16 TD

Wolfe is a dynamo at 5-foot-7 who reminds people of former Kansas State star Darren Sproles. Despite his lack of size,his speed and shiftiness should help him find a spot in the NFL as a thirddown back or return man. Wolfe missed three games, but led the nation with an average of 175.6 rushing yards per contest. And he didn’t just pad his stats against the Mid-American Conference: He ran for 148 yards on just 17 carries against Michigan and 248 against Northwestern the following week.

RB DEANGELO WILLIAMS, Memphis
5-foot-10, 217, Senior
279 carries, 1,726 yards, 15 TD

Williams began the year as a darkhorse Heisman contender, but his candidacy never developed because Memphis stumbled out of the gate. Despite missing a game and playing in an offense with few other threats (the Tigers were 112th in passing offense), Williams cracked 1,700 yards and averaged better than 6.2 yards per carry and 172.6 per game (second nationally). His reward should be a hefty NFL payday next spring.

Honorable Mention: Jerome Harrison, Washington State, 5-10, 200, Senior. 308 carries, 1,900 yards, 16 TD

WR MIKE HASS, Oregon State
6-foot-1, 208, Senior
90 receptions, 1,532 yards, 6 TD

Hass, a little known talent despite posting three straight 1,000 yard seasons, capped a brilliant career by going over the 1,500-yard mark as a senior to lead the nation. He also ranked second at better than eight grabs per contest. A precise route-runner, Hass also showed the ability to get down the field (17 yards per catch).

WR CALVIN JOHNSON, Georgia Tech
6-foot-4, 225, Sophomore
52 receptions, 869 yards, 6 TD

With Johnson, it’s not the quantity of receptions that matters most, but the quality. In just two years, he has already put together a lengthy highlight reel of mind-boggling grabs. Chances are, if you’ve seen a clip of a receiver making a one-handed grab on a ball thrown behind him, it was Johnson, who has the requisite size and speed to be a highround NFL pick in another year or two.

Honorable Mention: Domenik Hixon, Akron, 6-2, 192, Senior. 68 receptions, 1,147 yards, 7 TD

TE GARRETT MILLS, Tulsa
6-foot-2, 232, Senior
83 receptions, 1,183 yards, 9 TD

Mills set NCAA records for catches and receiving yards by a tight end in a single season while helping Tulsa to a surprising Conference-USA championship. He ranked 12th in the nation in receiving yards per game (98.6), 29 spots and 19 yards per contest better than the next-best tight end, Maryland’s Vernon Davis.

Honorable Mention: Marcedes Lewis, UCLA, 6-6, 255, Senior. 58 receptions, 741 yards, 10 TD

OFFENSIVE LINEMEN

Is there such as a thing as a “name” offensive lineman? Not usually. This group of five doesn’t get many headlines, but each caught our eyes at some point this season.

OT SEAN SESTER, Purdue
6-foot-8, 282, Freshman

Sester, the lone freshman on this list, showed excellent agility despite playing at a light weight for his height – a situation that should be rectified by a few more years of training-table fare.He was part of one of the few bright spots in a dark year for Purdue: an offensive line that allowed just nine sacks.

OT DARYN COLLEDGE, Boise St.
6-foot-5, 298, Senior

Colledge could be the captain of our “off the beaten path” squad. He hails from Alaska and actually attended North Pole High School.At Boise,he excels at pass blocking for the Broncos’ high-scoring offense.

OG DAVIN JOSEPH, Oklahoma
6-foot-3, 312, Senior

Joseph is one of the few players who had a really good season for an Oklahoma team that struggled after seeing 11 players selected in the NFL draft. His contributions were not as noticeable because of the Sooners’ inexperience at quarterback and injuries at tailback, but Oklahoma improved as the year went on.

OG JASON SPITZ, Louisville
6-foot-4, 308, Senior

Spitz played center in fall camp,then switched to guard and helped anchor the left side of the Louisville line. The unit provided great pass protection for standout quarterback Brian Brohm, who found the time to throw for 2,883 yards and 19 touchdowns.

C DAN MOZES, West Virginia
6-foot-4, 290, Junior

Like most centers, Mozes makes the blocking calls in West Virginia’s spreadoption attack, a surprising unit at the heart of the 10-1 Big East champions.

SPECIALISTS

PUNTER RYAN PLACKEMEIER
Wake Forest, 6-3, 235, Senior

Plackemeier, a linebacker-sized punter, led the nation by more than a full yard in punting average (47.2). He had plenty of practice on a struggling Wake Forest offense, too. (6.1 punts per game).

KICKER ALEXIS SERNA, Oregon St
5-foot-8, 157, Sophomore

Serna, who led the nation with 2.1 field goals per game, was a solid 23-of-28 on field goal attempts, but that’s not the entire reason why he was chosen for the list. Serna, if you remember, almost single-handedly prevented the Beavers from pulling off an upset at LSU as a freshman in 2004 when he missed three extra points. But he’s clearly shaken off that disappointment and has a bright future.

KR CORY RODGERS, TCU
6-foot-1, 195, Junior

Rodgers ranked second in the nation in kickoff returns, averaging 31.7 yards per attempt, but gets the nod over leader Felix Jones of Arkansas for returning two kicks for touchdowns in just 15 tries, a sure sign that teams kicked away from him.

PR QUINTON JONES, Boise St.
5-foot-9, 186, Sophomore

UCLA’s Maurice Drew stood headand-shoulders above the field in this category,finishing almost nine yards per return ahead of the second-ranked player, Jones. But he’s not exactly an unknown, so the honor goes to Boise defensive back Jones,who was the only other player to crack 20 yards per return and took two back for touchdowns.
