In a recent list from 247Sports’ Blake Brockermeyer, three members of the Big 12 Conference earned praise and were listed as players set to make a big jump in 2024.
The three players mentioned on Brockermeyer’s list represent three separate teams, including Kansas State, Iowa State, and TCU.
AVERY JOHNSON – KANSAS STATE
“Avery Johnson had a huge debut as a freshman despite only starting two games in 2023,” Brockermeyer said. “Johnson was a weapon rushing the football (two games over 70 yards rushing) and is poised to have a big year in Manhattan as a full-time starter. He struggled with his accuracy for much of the season, settling in at a completion percentage of 56. If he can take his passing game to the next level, watch out.”
BEN BRAHMER – IOWA STATE
“Benjamin Brahmer made his presence felt in a big way as a freshman in 2023 (28 receptions for 352 yards and two touchdowns),” Brockermeyer wrote. “He still has a ton of potential to unlock. At 6-foot-7, 240 pounds, Brahmer is a good route runner who moves well with the ball in his hands. He has an excellent catch radius, attacks the ball, and has soft hands. Brahmer will be a household name soon.”
SAVION WILLIAMS – TCU
“Savion Williams is a jumbo receiver with a ton of talent but only caught 41 passes last season,” Brockermeyer said. “Williams is a way under-the-radar player who was vastly underused compared to his ability. I think Williams is a Day 1 NFL Draft talent. He has the speed and great length and is not scared to make contested catches in the middle of the field. With more opportunities, expect a dominant season for Williams at TCU in 2024.”
While the Big 12 is full of names worthy of being mentioned, the three players above will be some of the biggest players to watch in the upcoming season.
