He beat Oklahoma and Washington in the Cactus Bowl after losing to Baylor in his first start and with Oklahoma State has nine of their top 10 receivers returning this year and Rudolph is poised to be the conference’s breakout quarterback much like Trevone Boykin was a year ago.

Mason Rudolph

QB, Oklahoma State

Mason Rudolph took over for an ineffective Daxx Garman at Oklahoma State last year as a true freshman and fared well in his three-game stretch to close the year. I thought he was one of the more underrated quarterback recruits in his class and he proved in a limited stretch that he’s got the talent and composure to thrive for Mike Gundy’s team in Stillwater.

Rudolph completed 57 percent of his passes for 853 yards and six touchdowns with four interceptions, averaging 9.9 yards per attempt, which would have been second to only Marcus Mariota who averaged 10 yards per attempt when he won the Heisman last year.
