We’re counting down the list of the 50 most important college football players in Texas in 2020, and we’ve finally reached the top of the list.
Defining the most important players in Texas can be difficult. We have to take into account role, team success and what a team would do without them. Additionally, we’re throwing our own perspective in the mix.
Of course, this list does take some suspension of reality. We don’t know for certain how college football leagues will handle the COVID-19 pandemic. The SWAC became the first to push football to the spring on Monday. For our purposes, we’re assuming all football will happen.
Here are the 10 most important college football players in Texas heading into 2020. Read spots 50-41 HERE. Read spots 40-31 HERE. Read spots 30-21 HERE. Read spots 20-11 HERE.
10. DL Bobby Brown, Texas A&M
Texas A&M’s defensive line is projected to be one of the elite units in the state this year, but the Aggies are looking for a game-changing talent to replace Justin Madubuike. Could Brown be that guy? He’s steadily improved every game as an Aggie, so his breakout moment could be right around the corner.
9. RB Sincere McCormick, UTSA
On offensive plays where Sincere McCormick touched the ball as a rusher or receiver, UTSA averaged 5.86 yards per play. On all other offensive plays, UTSA averaged 4.79 yards per play. Yeah, McCormick is a game-changer.
8. WR Reggie Roberson, SMU
When Roberson dropped out of the lineup against Houston last season, the offense got noticeably worse. The Mustangs averaged five fewer points, 64 fewer yards and four percent lower completion percentage in the games that Roberson missed. Plus, SMU lost three of its last five after a perfect start. Is this all due to Roberson? Probably not, but there’s no question SMU’s offense will get a big boost from getting the state’s best receiver back in the mix.
7. QB Max Duggan, TCU
Can TCU get back to its 10-win ways after two straight disappointing seasons? Well, look no further than the QB position. Duggan understandably struggled in his first season, but showed flashes of brilliance in season-defining wins over Texas and Texas Tech. If that Duggan can become the norm, TCU’s trajectory changes dramatically. If not, the Horned Frogs might be spending another holiday season at home.
