19 for '19 Offseason Topics: No. 11 - Great Players About to Go Nuclear
by Pete Fiutak, CollegeFootballNews.com
They’re already some of the best players in college football, and you already know who they are. At least you should.
They’re about to take their games up a whole other level. After big 2018 seasons, they’re about to go nuclear and become even bigger college football stars.
5. S - Grant Delpit, LSU (SR)
4. RB - Chuba Hubbard, Oklahoma State (SO)
3. WR - Laviska Shenault, Colorado (JR)
2. QB - Adrian Martinez, Nebraska (SO)
1. RB - Najee Harris, Alabama (JR) -and/or- RB - Brian Robinson, Alabama (JR)
4. QB - Adrian Martinez, Nebraska (SO)
The problem for Adrian Martinez might just be his own conference.
Everyone will want to see what’s coming at Wisconsin with Alex Hornibrook gone – can freshman Graham Mertz really be the guy right away?
Is Nate Stanley about to blossom into a real, live NFL prospect at Iowa? What will Clemson transfer Hunter Johnson do at Northwestern? Just how good will Elijah Sindelar be as the full-time quarterback at Purdue under Jeff Brohm?
Will Michigan State get better quarterback play? Who’ll be the guy at Penn State? Can Shea Patterson take Michigan to another level, and just how good will Justin Fields be right away at Ohio State, and …
Nah. Along with Fields, Martinez is going to be the Big Ten’s star of star quarterbacks.
All he did as a true freshman was get his feet wet in the Scott Frost offense by completing 65% of his passes for 2,617 yards and 17 scores with eight picks.
Throw in the 629 rushing yards and eight touchdowns, and everything looked right on track for Martinez to be the right guy to be in the right offense under the right coach at the right time for the next few years.
This season, the expectations are going to be set through the roof as a possible Heisman candidate as he leads Nebraska into Big Ten title contention.
No pressure.
