Big 12 Football: Breakout player from each Big 12 team

TCU

DE Khari Coleman

Ochaun Mathis was the leader of the defensive line. Meanwhile, Khari Coleman was arguably the second-best player within that group as a freshman.

Coleman was a specialist at getting in the backfield, with almost half of his tackles going for loss. His 33 total tackles, had 15 of the offensive skill players or quarterbacks in the backfield.

Although Coleman is well-known in the TCU camp, not much of the Big 12 is familiar with the 6-2, 224 lbs. defensive end.

TCU always seem to have an All-Big 12 level talent at the defensive end position and looks to have another in Coleman.

The expectation for Coleman is to finish as a First Team All-Big 12 and create some serious NFL Draft Buzz, heading into the 2022 season.

Texas

WR Troy Omeire

With the hype that the Texas progam is generating, one of the leanest positions is wide receiver. Although Joshua Moore returns, it wasn’t a unit that was explosive. Omeire was a late flip in his recruiting process, after being loyal to Texas A&M.

Omeire didn’t play last season, but is expected to be used much more often, alongside Moore and Jordan Whittington.

Jake Smith’s transfer makes the room even more open, and gives the 6-foot-3 230 pound freshman Omeire some opportunity to play.

Omeire lost his first season, due to an ACL injury, forcing to burn his redshirt. Omeire displays fantastic catching ability, and although he doesn’t possess top-end speed, he can accelerate at a good rate.

The fluidity of his body control makes him glide well down the field. Omeire has the skill-set to play on Sundays, but needs to prove through repetitions that he can become a instant threat to this offense. Omeire can bring that to the Longhorns in 2021.
