Break-out seasons

[Sirhornsalot]

Last year, I said Lil Jordan Humphrey, among a few others, would have a break-out season. That was true to some extent. When you talk of the Texas offense today, you have to spend some time talking about Lil' Jordan.

So who will those break-out players be this year? I'll take a short stab at it . . . 

1. Taquon Graham – TG has become somewhat of a physical freak, having grown in both weight and muscle composition through the tutelage of our conditioning guru. His growth/size, combined with what were already freakish athletic skills, could translate big time on the field this year. Texas needs a DL to emerge. TG is that guy.

2. Derek Kerstetter – I think we see this kid grow by leaps and bounds over last year. His versatility makes him one of the most valuable OL we have.

3. Keontay Ingram – His need to come right in and start has been relaxed for the moment with the addition of our Cal transfer. However, Ingram will prove to be a home run threat we haven't had since Charlie left.

4. Cade Brewer/Reese Leitao – The TE combo will emerge as Ehlinger's favorite go-to targets in the clutch. 

5. Colin Johnson – Finally has the type of year everyone has thought he could have.

What say you?

I couldn't agree more on Graham. I do wonder if any of the offensive skill players will get a chance due to the odd substitution patterns I saw last year. Something needs to be done in that regard.

I'm thinking BJ Foster and Sterns will become frosh phenoms and the mattress firm will rule the Big 12 for the next 3 years.

I'm hoping Tim Beck will have his breakout season in Austin

More importantly was his record the following year.

Point is that even the devil himself had a year to get his program established. 

This year is going to be telling for what type of coach Herman is and how this program is going to turn out under him.

im predicting 10 wins.
