Every year, teams experience players who have an up year who give fans and coaches something forward too. However, some of those players don’t quite meet the expectations that are bestowed upon them. But there are some talents that either meet or excel beyond those expectations.

While every team has players that their fans should know about , typically the All First-Team selections, but there are always some players on those teams that are questions marks.

Will they break out or will they be just another guy on the roster. And in 2015, the college football season saw a number of player break onto the national scene.

Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield broke onto the scene after passing for 3,700 yard and 36 touchdowns and rushing for 405 yards and seven touchdowns and leading the Sooners to a Big 12 title.
