The B1G conference has some talent. And its not just names like C.J. Stroud or Riley Moss. Four conference players made the list of early breakout stars by 247 Sports.
- RB Chase Brown, Illinois
- WR Charlie Jones, Purdue
- WR Emeka Egbuka, Ohio State
- LB Jacoby Windom, Michigan State
Brown has been solid for Illinois this season. The junior running back has carried the ball 75 times for 496 yards (6.6 ypc) and 2 touchdowns through three games. His 278 yards after contact are currently the best in the FBS.
Charlie Jones is having a big season so far for Purdue. The senior wideout has caught 21 balls for 286 yards and 4 touchdowns through 2 games. Jones had all of 21 catches last season at Iowa.
Emeka Egbuka has done a nice job for Ohio State in the absence of Jaxon Smith-Njigba. The sophomore wide receiver has 13 receptions for 208 yards and 2 touchdowns.
Jacoby Windmon has been a monster for Michigan State. The senior linebacker has already recorded 5.5 sacks and four forced fumbles in two games. Windmon also recorded 8 pressures against Western Michigan and 3 against Akron.
