Northwestern football breakout player predictions

Northwestern lost some key players in last year's senior class, two of whom, Ibraheim Campbell and Trevor Siemian, were drafted this past spring. Players like Chi Chi Ariguzo, Kyle Prater and Chance Carter will be missed as well. But as the cycle of college sports works, the departure of veterans makes way for the rise of new luminaries. Who will emerge as big time players in 2015? Here's our best guess:

No. 1: Ifeadi Odenigbo, DE

Okay so this could come as a surprise pick since the names on the defensive end depth chart are identical to 2014.
