The definition of a breakout player in college football varies from each analyst or fanbase, but one thing is certain when looking ahead at the 2018 season and the players returning. Regardless of the position, breakout players will have a huge role in shaping the national championship and playoff picture. Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is likely to supplant Jalen Hurts as the team's starter after an impressive performance in the win over Georgia. With a full season of snaps, Tagovailoa is likely to challenge for all-conference honors. Other names like Georgia running back D'Andre Swift, Alabama linebacker Dylan Moses, Ohio State cornerback Jeffrey Okudah and Florida State running back Cam Akers are also poised to deliver a breakout campaign in 2018.
