at least a player not named Manning
Spencer Shannon? That would be unexpected in a great way. Manning needs his own Gunner Helm.

It's kind of hard to break out when your name is Arch Manning -- even if he's a first-year starter -- so we'll go with the man who could be Manning's security blanket in coach Steve Sarkisian's offense: Spencer Shannon. Two years ago, Texas tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders caught 45 passes for 682 yards. Last season, TE Gunnar Helm caught 60 passes for 786 yards and seven TDs. As a redshirt freshman, he appeared in four games last season, but Sarkisian has touted him as their best in-line blocker and someone who has vastly improved his ball skills. At 6-7 and 255 pounds, he's a mismatch for linebackers and Sarkisian noted he has spent two seasons practicing with Manning already, so they have a rapport. -- Dave Wilson
