No. 8. Rodney Hudson, OG, Florida State, Jr. 6-2, 285

 
Hudson
Why he's here: He's a leader, a good student, and a disciplined lineman who can run block, pass block and is already one of the top guards in the country after just two seasons. Hudson was named the ACC's Offensive Lineman of the Week three times last year, and with good reason. He received the top overall grade on the offensive line five times, and ranked as the team's best run blocker or pass blocker 11 times.

Hudson led the Noles with seven pins and 64 knockdowns. He missed just eight assignments -- a remarkable feat considering he was in on 893 plays, the most of any FSU lineman. He went 16 straight games without allowing a sack. It wasn't until the game against Virginia Tech that Hudson was finally whistled for a penalty. It was a streak that covered 1,024 snaps and 20 games from his true freshman season.
