tell us what offensive and defensive player that you would like to see surprise the college football world this year. Surely, you all have a player that you just like, have followed, and want him to come out blazing for maybe the first time in his career. I'm not talking about the guys that are expected to shine, but if that's your choice so be it. My choice on defense is D.J. Ward. I followed Ward's recruitment and all the issues he had in high school his senior year and, of course, his medical problems since he has been at OU. When he signed with the Sooners I thought he would be a great one. From everything I've heard about him, he is a really good kid that's just had a tough time, so I would love for him to break out and make a statement this season.
My choice on offense is Alex Ross. Living here in Tulsa I followed him when he played at Jenks and was really excited when he signed with OU. Even though he has made a number of great runs, he hasn't lived up to my expectations thus far. I know and have read all the negative opinions that have been said and posted about him but this is a wish list post, so there isn't a wrong answer. Alex can be exciting and that's what I wish for him. When he gets a step, he is really exciting to watch and I love that.
Do I pick these two to set the world on fire this year? No, but these are two that have talent and I can't think of anyone that I would like to see come out of the shadows so to speak more than D.J. and Alex. I also would like Daniel Brooks to have a good year. Underdogs "rock"when they surprise.
