DeAndre Thompkins Will Be Penn State Football's Breakout Player in 2015

In our newest series, our writers name the Penn State football player they think will break out the biggest way in 2015. Up next, Nick discusses his pick: DeAndre Thompkins.

Ever since I first laid eyes on DeAndre Thompkins' tape back when he was a recruit, all I saw was a game-breaker. I saw someone who was a threat to score every single time he touched the football. He lined up a running back, quarterback, wide receiver and kick returner, and was a force at every single one of them. That's why my choice for this year's breakout player in simple- it's DeAndre Thompkins.
