#1) Dylan Sampson

The 2022 offense is very different from the type of offense we have this year; we had to say goodbye to an elite quarterback, a top-10 offensive lineman, and two superstar wide receivers, including the Biletnikoff winner. There will be changes, but the three backs behind Milton will need to make a significant impact in every game, and Dylan Sampson did just that on Saturday.

Sampson had a pretty light workload last season as a freshman, but this sophomore season may be his breakout year for Tennessee Football. In Saturday’s win, he rushed for 3 touchdowns and caught 1 as well. He was by far the best player on the entire field, and I’m more than excited to see how he plays the rest of the year.
