Linebacker Bryce Jenkinson played well this season and still has run to grow.
Sophomore Bryce Jenkinson may be young, but like other young defensive players who have already made this list, he showed flashes of potential that not only helped the Bearcats this year, but will also help them in the future. Jenkinson finished with 55 tackles on the year, along with an interception. He made at least five tackles in nine of the 12 games, showing that despite his youth, he made an impact in many games this year.
Without a doubt, his two strongest games came against Houston and Connecticut.
