Welcome once again to the College Dark Phoenix! This is where we take a look at some college players that may not be on your fantasy radar, but should be taking over in the near future. We unearthed such gems as Greg Jennings, Jerious Norwood, Maurice Jones-Drew and Jerome Harrison last year and should bring you more stars in the making this season!

Nathan Longshore - QB - California Golden Bears
6'5" 230 lbs. - Sophomore - 18th ranked high school QB when entering college

Longshore was highly recruited and considered to be one of the premiere QBs on the west coast. In 2003, his senior season at Canyon High School, he passed for over 3,400 yards and 34 touchdowns. He had an amazing completion percentage of 62%, and only threw 12 interceptions. His family has a rich tradition when it comes to football. His brother is an OL with BYU, and his grandfather played football at Tulane.

Nathan is a prototypical drop back passer. He is very comfortable in the pocket, and very adept at reading a defense. His size allows him to see over the line of scrimmage with ease, and his decision making is top notch. He has a smooth, over the top release, and his mechanics are textbook. He is a film junkie, and has a tremendous work ethic for such a young and successful player.

He entered his second season with the Golden Bears having had a year of learning on the sidelines. It wasn't supposed to be that way, as last year when he was a true freshmen Longshore had won the starting job. He broke his leg in the opener and thus had to sit out for the year. Nathan Longshore has the confidence and leadership abilities to be a big time college QB. He is still young, but looks like he could be one of the next great Pac-10 QBs

Javarris James - RB - Miami Hurricanes
6'0" 201 lbs. - Freshman - 23rd ranked high school RB when entering college

Javarris James is the cousin of the great Edgerrin James. "Baby J" was his nickname through high school, and he had an outstanding prep career at Immokalee High School in Florida. In 2005, as a senior he missed 5 games with a knee injury. He still managed to rush for over 1,000 yards and had double digit touchdowns. Upon his return to the lineup he immediately rushed for 300 yards and 3 TDs in a playoff game. His junior campaign was his most successful. That season he led his team to the state title while rushing for over 1,600 yards and 28 TDs

The first thing that stands out about Javarris is his footwork. He is incredibly nimble and can cut on a dime. Although he is not very fast, he is a very determined runner that does most of his damage between the tackles. He knows how to set up defenders in the 2nd level, and it's very hard to get a clean shot on him because of his elusiveness. Once past the line of scrimmage he uses a wicked stiff arm to keep defenders at bay.

Javarris James will get a shot to be the next great Hurricane back. Miami has a long tradition of great backs. From Edgerrin James, Clinton Portis, Willis McGahee, and Frank Gore. Miami is a big time program, and "Baby J" has what it takes to be a premiere playmaker in college football. He will also benefit from a few years of seasoning before hitting the NFL. His talent is very evident, but also very raw. With some valuable experience it won't be long before James is taking over for his cousin in the NFL.

P.J. Hill - RB - Wisconsin Badgers
5'11" 242 lbs. - Freshman - 142nd ranked high school RB when entering college

Hill was a 3 year starter for Poly Prep CDS in Brooklyn, New York. He had a tremendous prep career, and was named to the MSG High School Heisman All-Star team. In 2004 he was named the team MVP after rushing for over 1,400 yards and 17 TDs During his prep career he rushed for 48 TDs Hill was also a 3 year lettermen in track as well as football.

P.J.'s running style is all about power. He runs with a great pad level and has a lot of "pop" at the point of attack. He runs behind his pads and really delivers a blow when defenders are around. He is great when running between the tackles, and has better footwork than most other big backs. Hill is tough to bring down when he gets a head of steam going. He keeps his knees high when running through trash at the line of scrimmage, and would be tacklers just bounce off of him.

P.J. Hill is the next big Wisconsin back. Now, I know what you're thinking. He's not just another Ron Dayne. The difference is in the feet. Hill has the power to be a great power back in the college ranks. His punishing style could lead to him wearing down sooner than other backs. But his future looks bright, and he is definitely a player that could be making an impact in the NFL soon.
