TCU spring football breakout candidate No. 3: This young safety is making noise, and it's not Atanza Vongor...

This week, we're counting down TCU's top five breakout candidates for the spring. Who looks to raise eyebrows early on?

Breakout candidate No. 3: La'Kendrick Van Zandt, sophomore, safety

South Grand Prairie safety Atanza Vongor has long been considered among the shiniest pieces of TCU's 2018 recruiting class. And for good reason -- we're not trying to undersell his abilities here.

However, the Vongor hype may have caused some TCU fans to forget about a 2017 athlete making noise at safety this spring -- La'Kendrick Van Zandt.

After Innis Gaines sat out some practices last week, Van Zandt became the primary beneficiary, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
