For dynasty leaguers, Saturdays in Autumn are almost as important as Sundays. The future stars on the NFL are on exhibit across the college football scene.

The best college RB in all the land was on display on prime time T.V. this week. His name is Knowshon Moreno. Those of you that have been following Moreno since last year know what this kid is all about. But against Arizona State on Saturday night, Moreno put all his skills on display for the world to see—his power, his speed, his vision, and his incredible athletic ability (did you see him jump 13 feet in the air over the pylon for that TD!?!).

Moreno is having a huge year so far. Through 4 games he’s compiled 455 rushing yards, 96 receiving yards, and 9 TDs. More impressive than that though is the fact that he’s doing it behind a mediocre offensive line that starts 2 freshman, 2 sophomores, and 1 junior.

I see Moreno as a hybrid between Marshawn Lynch and Reggie Bush. Moreno is virtually the same size (5’11/207 lbs) that Lynch was in college and runs with similar tenacity. But he also has speed and athleticism that rival Reggie Bush. Moreno is a true home-run threat that is strong enough to run it between the tackles.

Moreno is only a sophomore, but he’s a near-lock to declare for the NFL next year. And mark my words: Moreno will be the 1^st RB off the board in the 2009 draft and will be a 2^nd round fantasy pick by late August. He’s that good.

Check out some more Knowshon Moreno highlights.
