*Rank on Rivals' junior-college top 25 (all positions)  |  **A likely "greyshirt" who will not be on scholarship until January 2006
% Parade All-American  |  # Listed on The Rivals 100  |  NOTE: Some players' position rankings are likely to be higher on Rivals because players are split up among 19 positions on Rivals and only 12 on Scout. (For example, Rivals ranks offensive guards, tackles and centers separately, while Scout lumps them all together.)
