No. 3: Will Howard – Kansas State

Howard took over for an injured Adrian Martinez about halfway through last season and proceeded to lead the Wildcats to their first Big 12 Championship in a decade.

In the seven games that he played in, he threw for at least 200 yards in five of them (and had 196 and 199 yards in the two other games). He also had multiple touchdowns in every game except the Sugar Bowl loss against Alabama (which was also his only multi-interception game).

Assuming he develops his game at least a little bit, K-State should be right back in the thick of things atop the conference.
