2025 Big 12 Football: Which Underdog Could Shock the Nation and Claim the Title?

2025 Big 12 Football: Which Underdog Could Shock the Nation and Claim the Title?

One exciting thing: Running back Jahiem White is a big star, and he’s back. He averaged about 6 yards a pop and, impressively, averaged 3.5 on carries featuring a run disruption by the defense. (Opta data credits a run disruption when a defender eliminates a gap at the point of attack.) 

One key guy: Edge Jimmori Robinson, the UTSA transfer who had 10.5 sacks for the Roadrunners and won AAC defensive player of the year.  

  • 2024 final TRACR rank: 14th (16th OFF, 1st DEF)
  • 2025 preseason TRACR rank: 11th (11th OFF, 1st DEF)

One scary thing: The defense gets high ranks per TRACR, but there’s very little proven high-end talent on this roster. It would be cool if someone like linebacker Jesus Machado, a former star at Tulane who missed last year with an injury, broke out. If you asked me, “Who is the best player on this team?” I’d have to rummage around a while to answer.
