Time to take a look at a few of the under-the-radar young talents across the Big 12.
Three underclassmen to watch:
Jackson Jeffcoat, Soph., DE, Texas: Jeffcoat might be the most exciting sophomore in the entire league. A solid Longhorns defensive line last year already had true freshman Jeffcoat emerge as perhaps the team's best pass-rusher, never more impressive than in an early-season win over Texas Tech. A high ankle sprain, however, derailed any hopes of an All-Big 12 season. This year, that could change in a Big 12 without any truly elite talents on the defensive line.
Corey Nelson, Soph., LB, Oklahoma: Nelson was referred to as the most impressive
