A fifth-year senior from Texas, defensive end Brian Orakpo is a physically dominating player and one of the most disruptive defensive forces in the country. At 6-4 and 260 pounds, he has amazing physical skills that make him a beast from the defensive end position. He's also a leader and a huge reason for the Longhorns' success this season.

Perhaps his greatest attribute, though, is his ability to pressure the passer. Check out more with this Illustrated Profile of Brian Orakpo...
