Breakout players tend to define each college football season. Joe Burrow, Kyler Murray and Lamar Jackson came out of nowhere to win their Heisman Trophies. This year’s leading passer (Anthony Gordon), rusher (Chuba Hubbard) and Biletnikoff Award winner (Ja’Marr Chase) each were relatively anonymous on the national stage entering the 2019 season. Thanks to short careers and needed annual replacements, college football sees superstars emerge seemingly out of nowhere every season.

With the 2019 campaign nearly complete, 247Sports is taking a look forward to 2020 and examining next season’s likely breakout players. Some players are already on the cusp. One member of the group didn’t play a snap this season. Either way, all of them are primed to explode when given the opportunity next year.
