CFF Bowl Game Breakout Players
Every year we see more players sitting out of bowl games because they are preparing for the NFL Draft or because they’ve entered the winter transfer portal. This provides an excellent opportunity for identifying new upcoming College Fantasy Football talent. Purple Reign has identified players who had “breakout” performances during the 2024-2025 bowl season. Identifying sleeper players early in the CFF draft process can give you a massive leg up on your competition, and these players should be monitored during spring camps for news of their development.
