Now —with only 17 days until the Eastern Washington game— we try to fill another day of waiting for actual football with one of these unparalleled “Breakout Player” type things. It’s not a freshman, nor is it a redshirt freshman. It’s not a player making a comeback, but it is someone who’s been in the program for a few seasons.
It’s the upperclassman who is poised to “Break Out.”
A breakout doesn’t have to make a huge splash or be someone flashy with big numbers. A player thought to be in a position battle who emerges as a reliable and effective starter can be considered a break out player.
