The Big 12 just got bigger in 2024. Within the last two years, the conference added Houston, UCF, Cincinnati, BYU, Arizona, Arizona State, Utah and Colorado in response to the departures of Texas and Oklahoma. Now with 16 teams battling across the Southwest and parts of West Virginia and Ohio, the Big 12 may be the most diverse conference in college football.
Expanding as far west as Phoenix and as east as Morgantown, the Big 12 and their recruiting grounds cover some of the best spots for high school and JUCO talent. Now that talent has been cultivated and plugged into high-scoring offenses and innovative defenses, the conference is producing NFL-ready players. Here are 5 players from the Big 12 for the Rams to keep an eye on.
