Baylor: WR Corey Coleman
Coleman headlined the explosive Baylor offense this year as he led the country in touchdown receptions with 20. Aside from his 20 touchdown receptions Coleman also posted 1,363 yards, which was good for 4th nationally.
The success of Coleman and Baylor as a team can be closely correlated. In Baylor’s wins Coleman averaged 7 catches, 139 yards and 2.2 touchdown receptions, while in Baylor’s losses he only 3.3 catches, 36 yards and no touchdowns.
Coleman was a First Team All-Big 12 honoree. He also took him the Biletnikoff Award as the country’s best wide receiver. Coleman has already declared for the 2016 NFL Draft.
