Big Ten football spring wrap: 14 players to watch in upcoming season

Associated Press

A look at football players in the Big Ten this spring who are poised to have breakout seasons this fall:

East Division

Indiana: QB Tayven Jackson, little brother of Hoosiers basketball All-American Trace Jackson-Davis, appeared in three games for Tennessee last year and retained his redshirt status. The homegrown four-star recruit and native Texan Brendan Sorsby head into fall in a close battle for the starter's job.

Maryland: DL Jordan Phillips made one tackle in three games for Tennessee last season and probably would have remained in a backup role had he stayed with the Volunteers.
