College football is approaching, and various under-the-radar players are poised to impact their teams significantly. These include offensive linemen like Dawkins from Penn State, who played well in prior seasons and is essential for protecting the quarterback. At Clemson, Brown, a talented wide receiver recovering from injury, is expected to contribute after a redshirt year. Jack Endries from Cal is highlighted for his breakout season as a tight end, having achieved notable statistics that suggest he may not fit the sleeper category anymore due to his established capabilities.
Offensive linemen naturally get overlooked, and Dawkins is no exception, but he once again will occupy a vital role as Penn State chases its first Big Ten title since 2016 and its first national title since 1986. Dawkins is at the heart of an offensive line that has stabilized and excelled in recent years.
One of the reasons Clemson is expected to compete for a national championship this season is the return of its stellar receiver group, which made vast improvements a year ago to help the Tigers offense rediscover its footing. Coach Dabo Swinney spoke highly about Brown during spring practice and is expecting him to have a big role in the offense.
Endries had a breakout season at Cal last year, catching 56 passes for 623 yards and two touchdowns, making him less of a sleeper.
