Players to watch this fall: William Gholston

One guy I'm eager to watch this year is sophomore defensive end William Gholston.  He was MSU's highest rated recruit last year (and perhaps ever--in fact, he was the highest rated recruit for the entire B1G).  As a freshman, he only had 13 tackles and a half sack.  But he's apparently having a strong camp and looks ready to fulfill some of his promise.  This guy has the potential to be a first round draft pick by as early as next year.  I hope to see him dominate the Big Ten this year with his strength and speed.  I hope he excels to the point that he gets close to 15 sacks.  If he does so, he may be tempted to leave early for the NFL (as a sophomore), so maybe I want him to only get 12 sacks--would that bring him back for one more year?  At any rate, you can read more about him here.
