Ten players ready to become college football stars in 2017

The mantle of top playmaker in Washington’s secondary has fallen on the shoulders of young Taylor Rapp now that Budda Baker is a rookie with the Arizona Cardinals.

It’s likely he’ll emerge as the starting free safety this fall, and there is a good chance he’ll see time as a nickel cornerback in certain sets. Simply put, he’s going to be a huge part of what Washington does defensively. And based on what we saw during his freshman season, he’s got the goods to become a superstar.

As a true freshman in 2016, he earned a starting spot, tallied 51 total tackles, intercepted four passes and broke up two more, returning one pick for a touchdown. Even crazier is the fact that those four interceptions came in just two games. He’s still learning how to play.

The sky is the limit for this up-and-coming Huskies star.
