Cactus Bowl (Dec. 27, 10:15 pm ET on ESPN): Boise State vs Baylor

Boise State Broncos: Jeremy McNichols, RB

There are a lot of talented running backs in college football this year, and Boise State’s Jeremy McNichols continues to stay in the conversation as one of the best. Over the past two seasons, McNichols has picked up 3,000 yards and 43 touchdowns on the ground.

Although the Boise State star comes in at just 5’9” and 212 pounds, he’s elusive in open space and tough to bring down when he has enough momentum. He’s not going to be a workhorse back anywhere, but McNichols could develop into a promising third-down back in the NFL.

Baylor Bears: Kyle Fuller, C

Offensive linemen aren’t exactly the most exciting players to watch during a game, but Baylor Bears center Kyle Fuller looks like a future NFL player at the position.

Fuller was the only returning starter on Baylor’s offensive line this season, coming into 2016 with two All-Big 12 selections already under his belt. He has plenty of experience and has solid size 6’5” and 315 pounds to make him an appealing option for teams looking for an interior offensive lineman in April.
