Top 10 Pac-12 breakout players for 2017
The 2016 season saw several Pac-12 players break out into larger roles for their respective teams. Here's a look at the 10 names -- listed in alphabetical order by team -- that we expect to further emerge into big-time contributors come 2017.
Brandon Dawkins, QB, Arizona: The question here lies in Dawkins' ability to develop into a proficient passer, because he's certainly got the running part of the game down. Dawkins rushed for more than 100 yards in three games last season, including 183 yards on a staggering 15.2 yards per carry in the finale against Arizona. The explosive, long strides he showcased in that game are enough to whet the appetite for 2017.
