Players predicted to break out in bowl games:
Liberty Bowl: Arkansas vs. Kansas State

Deante Burton, WR, Kansas State
The senior duo of Tyler Lockett and Curry Sexton were arguably the best receiving tandem in FBS in 2014, but they and quarterback Jake Waters all graduated after last January's Alamo Bowl. A year to the day of that contest, the wideout who was expected to fill at least part of Lockett and Sexton's void has a chance to finally come through in that capacity.
Deante Burton, a 6'2", 205-pound junior, was the Wildcats' leading receiver this season but with only 34 receptions and four touchdowns. K-State didn't throw nearly as much this year because of the youthfulness of its overall offense, though had Burton been able to perform as hoped, this might have been different.
Arkansas had the eighth-worst pass defense in the country in 2015, so this matchup figures to provide Burton with an opportunity to shine.
