Whittington, the nation's No. 2-ranked athlete in the 2019 recruiting cycle, is as close to a sure-fire breakout candidate as one can be. His impressive athleticism, physicality and the strides he made in the spring as a playmaker within the offense suggest he's primed for a breakout 2019 in his inaugural season at Texas. Pairing him with Keaontay Ingram in the backfield is going to be a lethal combination, too.
