2024 BREAKOUT PLAYERS

We are eight weeks away from the start of the college football season and not even three weeks until College Football 25 comes out. It’s time to start looking ahead to the 2024 players that will become a household name in college football season. Today we’ll look at breakout players that are draft eligible and non-eligible players. Even though the draft eligible players could still come back to college, like many have already in the NIL era of college football. Some of these players have already made a name for themselves, but I expect even more of a break out in 2024. For example, Noah Fifita is our first player and he had an amazing freshman season at Arizona. But I expect there to be even more national talk about Fifita and a few of his Arizona teammates this season.

DRAFT ELIGIBLE PLAYERS
—OFFENSE

Quarterback:
Noah Fifita, Arizona — Fifita already had his mini-breakout season last year but the Arizona Wildcats are going to be a force this season. Led by Fifita, Arizona will have a top offense in the Big 12 (that feels weird) and make noise Nationally. Last season Fifita took over the starting role in the 4th game of the season and threw for 2869 yards and 25 TDs. I expect those numbers to go up significantly now that he is the Day 1 starter.

Jaxson Dart, Ole Miss — Many people wondered who the starting QB would be for Ole Miss at the beginning of last season, but Dart won the job and never looked back. This season, his 3rd starting for Ole Miss, has the chance to explode for Dart. Lane Kiffin and the Rebels were hot in the SEC last season and another big year from the offense could put them near the top of the conference and playing for a National Championship.
