5. LB Taiwan Berryhill Jr.

After battling a lower-body injury all season, the senior linebacker finally had a big game against UCF. His eight total tackles led the team, 1.5 of which were for a loss of yards. Berryhill’s run-stopping ability could stuff Oklahoma State’s running game, forcing them to throw more if he stuffs the gaps.

He still must battle with JB Brown for snaps at the middle linebacker position. This could be the game he pulls away and reclaims the starting spot.
