This week, we're counting down TCU's top five breakout candidates for the spring. Who looks to raise eyebrows early on?
Breakout candidate No. 3: Fabian Franklin, freshman, RB
Franklin was a major coup for Gary Patterson's 2018 class, having stolen the 4-star back after he initially committed to Mississippi State. Franklin was also offered by SEC programs that emphasis run-first schemes, such as Alabama and Georgia. If Nick Saban also came calling, there must be something there.
So, maybe "surprise" isn't the right word in Franklin's case -- he's going to be a dynamic player, no doubt.
