I stuck Jhamon Ausbon in here more because of what those around him have done and less because of what he has done. This team is led by two big names in Kendrick Rogers and Quartney Davis. Both of these guys made game-changing plays throughout the season to push them into starting spots.

Davis started 12 of the 13 games, ranking second on the team with 45 receptions for 585 yards and seven touchdowns. Rogers appeared in 12 games, catching 27 passes for 336 yards and five touchdowns. While some of those numbers may not jump off the page or anything, these guys were game changers and will now be the two go-to guys for Kellen Mond in 2019.

So, where does that leave junior wideout Ausbon? Looking for a touchdown and a couple of moments to make a name for himself. He sat out four games in 2018 due to injury, so I’m sure that 2019 is the year that Ausbon has circled — the year that he can really step up and become the player that he can be.

Look for Ausbon to prove himself to be one of those that deserves a spot in the starting rotation of wide outs for Jimbo Fisher’s Aggies.
