1. WR Elijhah Badger, Arizona State

Despite up-and-down quarterback play, Badger was more than solid for the Sun Devils in 2022, finishing with 866 yards and seven touchdowns. But with a more pass-friendly system being brought in by Kenny Dillingham, he should see a big increase in touches.

2. RB Michael Wiley, Arizona

A true all-purpose back, Wiley quietly racked up over 1,100 yards from scrimmage and 11 touchdowns last season. As Jedd Fisch's offense continues to evolve in the desert, so will Wiley's usage, as he's incredibly dangerous in the open field.

3. WR Jeremiah Hunter, Cal

Hunter finished 2022 second to teammate J Michael Sturdivant in nearly every receiving category. But with Sturdivant off to UCLA, Hunter becomes the focal point of the passing attack.
