Tier 8a: Fresh starts: veteran edition (nine players)
Auburn (Jackson Arnold, Ashton Daniels, Deuce Knight)
Florida State (Tommy Castellanos, Brock Glenn)
Houston (Conner Weigman, Zeon Chriss)
Northwestern (Preston Stone, Jack Lausch)
Remember that season of "Dallas" that turned out to be just a bad dream, and the next year the show pretended as if none of it ever happened? That's sort of how this tier wants to view 2024. Arnold and Weigman were among the most touted recruits and seemed poised to break out last season. Instead, they fell flat. S
tone and Castellanos had both turned in impressive 2023 campaigns only to get benched a year later. Now, all four are getting a fresh start in a new home with a chance to prove 2024 was the aberration and all the hype they'd enjoyed before last year was entirely deserved.
