Here’s a look at a potential breakout player from each Big 12 football team.

With the transfer portal quieting down and Big 12 media days finished, all ten Big 12 football teams are settling in and gearing up for fall practice.

Plenty of questions have been answered, while others are waiting for week one for their teams to make decisions at key areas.

The conference has been focused on 10 personnel over the past decade. However, last year was the most obvious for a transformation with fullback and two tight end sets becoming more common.

Defense was also much more noticeable, with six teams finishing inside the top 50 in total defense.

A podcast called “College Football Nerds” beating the “Big 12 doesn’t play defense” in the face of last weekend’s SEC scores is a good example of why calling something a particular name doesn’t automatically make true. https://t.co/j7vLptua0L
