Boykin was a guy who came out of nowhere last year, but everybody sees him coming in 2015. He led the Horned Frogs to a 12-1 record, won the Chik-fil-A Bowl last season as a junior and figures to be the top senior quarterback in the nation.

The thing about Boykin that sets him apart from the other quarterbacks seen as Heisman favorites is his dual-threat abilities. The versatile athlete ran for 707 yards and eight touchdowns last season in addition to 3,901 passing yards and 33 touchdowns through the air.

TCU’s offense is nuclear-level explosive with Boykin as the catalyst. The Horned Frogs averaged 47 points per game in 2014 and could do even better this year—as should Boykin top his 2014 campaign.
