Dion Sims

Sims will be in a heated competition with C.J. Fiedorowicz and Jacob Pedersen for the tight end crown in the Big Ten. Legal issues and a deep Spartans tight-end rotation have limited Sims' value to this point, but his talent is obvious. He's in for a much bigger role this year because the Spartans lost their top four receivers (202 receptions) to graduation. Sims will see his numbers explode after catching 12 passes for 99 yards and three touchdowns in 2011.
