Three this week...

Northwestern running back Tyrell Sutton signed a pair of index cards care of the Wildcats' athletic department in about two months. The senior comes into the 2008 season as the Big Ten's leading active rusher with nearly 3000 career yards on the ground.

Also signing was Texas defensive end Brian Orakpo, who sent back a pair of index cards care of the UT athletic department in under a month. The senior was a First Team All-Big XII selection last fall and comes into the season with First Team All-America preseason honors.

Rounding out the week was former Alabama baseball star Josh Rutledge, who returned two signed index cards and a questionnaire care of his summer league squad, the Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox. As a freshman last spring, Rutledge led the Tide with a .369 batting average.
