This is not really predicting "break out" people but returners that have shown flashes on the field or already been entrenched starters with All-Conference/All-American aspirations. Feel free to add to the list. The line is really hard to come up with the Top 5 because it is generally a good bit of rotation happening because of early entries and late bloomers
