From an outside perspective.
Jarvis showed up at of nowhere—at least that's how I saw it—when Bama and LSU faced each other last season. After the game I looked back over the year and it seemed in retrospect he was forgotten. The year started off with a bang against UNT, then he simply wasn't utilized that much for the next seven(?) games.
Then, the rest of the season, he seemed to be the featured receiver. I remember watching him show out against State and then it seems he had a solid day against Arkansas as well. Bottom line, his touches definitely increased from his "dead spell" during the first part of the season.
When I think of offensive players returning—noting my belief offensive production is going to be a huge key in 2013—Mett to Landry is the first thing that crosses my mind.
In a lot of cases a young defensive line leads to run stoppers in the back seven becoming household names. I believe it's four sophomores on the DL which automatically leads me to Loston. However, his name doesn't equate with "breakout." People who follow SEC football will know his name. That said, on a national scale, I think it's safe to use the term. When it came to the safety position last season the name recognized by the majority of football fans was Reid.
