The Cougars return Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year RB LJ Martin (180 score, 60 awards pts) and sophomore QB Bear Bachmeier (138 score, QB floor). All-American OL Bruce Mitchell and All-Big 12 LB Isaiah Glasker provide elite two-way talent. All-ACC transfer LB Cade Uluave adds defensive firepower. The biggest question mark is WR depth and specialist play, with a new punter (Fuller Shurtz, R-Freshman) and developing kicker (Matthias Dunn).
