There are certain guys that seem like they’re a highlight-reel play waiting to happen.

You probably wonder to yourself, “why don’t they get the ball more?”

There could be a few different reasons for that. Maybe they’re buried on the depth chart or they aren’t great blockers and can only be used at certain times.

Whatever the case, these five B1G players are all capable of becoming big-time playmakers if they could just touch the rock a little more in 2017.

1. Ty Johnson, Maryland RB

Perhaps the most obvious candidate for this list, we preached all season for Johnson to get the rock more. By now, people inside the B1G should know the speedy Terps tailback. After all, the dude led FBS with 9.1 yards per carry in 2016. Sure, that was a school record, but it was actually even more amazing than that.

Johnson eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark despite the fact that he only got 110 carries. How incredible is that? Consider this:

That’s ridiculous. It also took the perfect storm for it to happen. Walt Bell’s up-tempo system features a variety of backfield options, none of which are true featured backs. Johnson actually only got double-digit touches in three games last year, all of which he rushed for at least 140 yards in. And fittingly, Johnson’s 204-yard day came in a game in which he got SEVEN carries.

As Johnson reminded us in the Quick Lane Bowl, he’s a big-play machine. He tied Dalvin Cook and Joe Mixon for most 40-yard plays by a running back.

Say what you want about his size or Maryland’s bevy of backfield options, but the Terps have to find ways to get Johnson the ball more. Anything less than 15 touches per game is an absolute travesty.

2. Donnie Corley, Michigan State WR

In Michigan State’s defense, Corley touched the ball more times than most true freshmen. He had 41 touches from scrimmage in 2016, which is a number that will inevitably skyrocket in 2017.

The talented two-way sophomore might be better suited to put all of his energy into the offensive side, where MSU desperately lacked production in 2016. Corley has the ability to step into MSU’s No. 1 receiver role, which will be especially important after the graduations of R.J. Shelton and Josiah Price.

Corley did set the MSU true freshman record with 453 receiving yards, so it’s not that he was ignored in 2016. The guy played receiver, cornerback and special teams as a true freshman. Not even Jabrill Peppers did that.

The FWAA Freshman All-American is in need of more offensive looks however MSU sees fit. The Spartans even tried him on handful of running plays last year. Those touches could see an increase. But above all else, Corley needs to get more than 2.75 catches per game in 2017.

3. Jawuan Harris, Rutgers WR

When he’s not swiping bags for the Rutgers baseball team, Harris is a pretty solid outside option for the Knights on the football field. When Janarion Grant went down last year, Harris was one of the few offensive bright spots.

He finished the season with more catches (39) and receiving yards (481) than any B1G freshman. Even with Grant returning, those numbers should see a significant increase in 2017, especially with a new offensive coordinator.

The knock on Jerry Kill at Minnesota was that he didn’t develop the passing game enough. After inheriting Drew Mehringer’s one-year mess, he’ll have to figure out ways to get Harris and Grant the ball consistently.

The quicker Harris understands his role in Kill’s spread offense — after baseball season ends, of course — the more he’s going to be able to develop into the high-volume target Rutgers needs in the passing game.

4. John Moten IV, Northwestern RB

There’s a guy in Evanston that’s heading into his senior year that you might’ve heard of. Ok, you’ve definitely heard of him. Over the last three years, you had 933 chances to hear Justin Jackson’s name called on a play from scrimmage.

Jackson desperately needs an understudy, and he has a capable one in Moten.

The former Missouri High School 100-meter dash champ (10.58 seconds) is a speedy, change-of-pace weapon that can be used frequently in Northwestern’s offense. He’s not just an outside runner, either.

Moten still struggles in pass protection and isn’t a proven pass-catcher yet, but that can be coached. His real impact needs to be complementing Jackson. Moten got double-digit carries twice last year. In those contests, he finished with 119 and 128 yards on the ground. Jackson still got at least 21 carries in both of those games.

There are more than enough carries to go around in Evanston, especially if Moten continues to become a complete player at the position.

5. Jazz Peavy, Wisconsin WR

I don’t care what you’re doing. When Peavy gets the ball on a jet sweep, you stop and watch. That’s how electric Peavy is rushing off the edge. Not many receivers can run for 15 yards per carry, but that’s what Peavy did in his breakout 2016 season.

That play will certainly be featured in Wisconsin’s offense in 2017. Peavy also needs to continue to get more looks as a pass-catcher. He’s too big of a weapon to average just three catches per game. Whether it’s screens, drags or quick slants, Peavy needs to be targeted at a higher rate in 2017.

He and possible preseason All-American tight end Troy Fumagalli figure to be Alex Hornibrook’s top two options. Both could emerge as two of the most dangerous weapons in the B1G.

If Peavy can average double-digit touches — he averaged 4.6 in 2016 — B1G defensive coordinators aren’t going to enjoy game-planning against the Badger offense.
