T.J. McDaniel
Year: Freshman
Position: Running back
The only true freshman on this season's breakout list -- and a player who could definitely contribute early on (if he dodges the redshirt): T.J. McDaniel.
The 2018 Landry Award winner was an instrumental part in back-to-back deep playoff runs at Southlake Carroll. The agile McDaniel possesses impressive pass-catching and tackle-break abilities that will make him an attractive option in the Mustangs' offense.
