Some players are finishing their college careers, while a few have hit an early stride to make their way onto our list of three players to watch during the upcoming season.

As a freshman in 2012, Robert Feathers won National Blocker of the Year after leading the nation with 1.60 blocks per set and garnering 12 solo blocks and 142 assisted blocks during the season. Feathers’ 154 total blocks in 2012 was a USC rally scoring era record.
