Strengths: Will Grier is 6-0 as a starting quarterback and was my No. 3 rated quarterback out of high school when he signed at Florida. He should be one of the Big 12's top quarterbacks this season (10 touchdowns and 70.1 adjusted QBR at Florida in 2015). I rate their running back corps, featuring senior Justin Crawford, as the No. 22 unit in the country and the linebackers at No. 30. They also get back perhaps their top defensive player in safety Dravon Askew-Henry, who missed all of 2016 with a knee injury.
