1. Trevone Boykin to Josh Doctson – TCU Horned Frogs
Trevone Boykin and the TCU offense was the biggest surprise of last season when the Horned Frogs had the No. 7 passing offense and the No. 2 scoring offense in the country. The hiring of co-offensive coordinators Doug Meacham and Sonny Cumbie were a Godsend for Boykin who was a jack-of-all-trades type of player for TCU prior to their arrival.
With their brand of the spread offense coming to TCU, Boykin broke out in a big way with 3,901 yards and 33 touchdowns to 10 interceptions, including three games with at least 400 passing yards and a seven-touchdown barrage in the win against Texas Tech. Boykin finished in fourth place in the Heisman voting last year and is on the short list to win the Trophy this year with his top receiver, Josh Doctson returning.
Doctson was the winner of several jump ball situations last year and made Boykin look better when he consistently won 50-50 battles. The 6-4, 190-pound Doctson had 65 catches for 1,018 yards and 11 touchdowns for the Horned Frogs last year and those numbers should be better as he and Boykin gain more confidence in the second year in the system.
