Mason Rudolph

Quarterback, Oklahoma State

In the midst of what was rapidly devolving into a train-wreck of a season, the Cowboys found themselves a quarterback. OSU was mired in the middle of a four game slide under former starter Daxx Garman when they turned to Rudolph. And even though OSU dropped the first game Rudolph started to Baylor, the Cowboys won the next two, including a victory in Norman over über-rival Oklahoma.

With Garman gone, Rudolph is now entrenched as the starter heading into 2015. The Cowboys return plenty of pieces on offense, so assuming Rudolph continues to progress, it’s not a stretch at all to believe he will build upon his 2014 performance in 2015 and become the Cowboys’ next great QB.
