We're 24 days from the 2013 football season kicking off. Indiana (Indiana State) and Minnesota (UNLV) get things started for the Big Ten on Thursday, Aug. 29 on BTN/BTN2Go. To help count down the days to kickoff, BTN.com is ranking the top 25 players. Join us as we count it down, from 25-1, every day.

No. 24: James White, RB, Wisconsin.

Has a Big Ten player scored a quieter 33 touchdowns in his first three seasons than Wisconsin's James White? The answer has to be a resounding no. White's surplus of scores go unnoticed because his trips to the end zone have been overshadowed by former teammate Montee Ball, who set the NCAA record for career touchdowns. No doubt, a disappointing sophomore campaign also hurt his profile. Thirty-three scores are 33 scores, however, and the speedster who's also run for 2,571 career yards will continue to add to his impressive total before he graduates.
