One of the great things about college football is the turnover on the rosters from year to year. While fans will certainly miss star players from the season before, they will also enjoy seeing new faces on the field.

And with roughly 25% of rosters across the country turning over each year due to graduation, players leaving for the NFL, transfers, etc., there are always breakout players that explode onto the scene.

When we look at this season’s roster, there are breakout candidates everywhere. We’ve selected five Auburn players that were not starters in 2013, and may or may not be expected starters this year, that have the ability to be breakout players in 2014.
