Jarrett Stidham voted biggest breakout star by Sports Illustrated writer

Former Baylor transfer and Auburn starting quarterback, Jarrett Stidham, was voted college football's biggest breakout star by Sports Illustrated writer Chris Johnson.

"Stidham's the pick on account of his potential impact on the SEC West and national championship races. The Tigers play at Clemson in early September and host Alabama in the Iron Bowl on Thanksgiving weekend," said Johnson.

The former Baylor Bear was a highly recruited prospect out of perennial high school powerhouse Stephenville. As a true Freshman at Baylor, Stidham, played in 10 games and started 3 after replacing starter Seth Russell due to an injury.
