USC football: Nelson Agholor, Su’a Cravens on ‘breakout’ list

USC wide receiver Nelson Agholor is ranked No. 6 and safety Su’a Cravens No. 10 among a national list of “Top 50 Breakout Players of 2013” that was compiled by ESPN.com’s Travis Haney.

Haney wrote that he “tried to stay away from known names” and that “there was a lot of input from coaches.”

Agholor, a sophomore, will start opposite Biletnikoff Award-winner Marqise Lee.

Wrote Haney: “One Pac-12 head coach told me he would have preferred Agholor leaving over Robert Woods, who ended his three-year USC career with a mere 252 catches, 2,930 yards and 32 touchdowns. And that coach wasn’t even Oregon’s Mark Helfrich, whose team was burned by Agholor for six catches and 162 yards.”

Cravens, a freshman, is expected to have a major role and possibly start.

Wrote Haney: “Kiffin said Cravens’ background as a high school running back is evident in his mobility and awareness in getting to the ball.”
