Adam Dycus, Mayflower (Ark.)
Last Year: 4,364 yards
At 5-11, Dycus is not big, but he is dynamic. Twice he threw for over 500 yards in a game last year and twice he threw eight touchdown passes in a game. His 397-yard average per game ranked second in the nation among quarterbacks with more than 400 attempts.
Why he will lead the nation in passing: Dycus is in his third year under center and he is quite comfortable with the offense. He has thrown for over 400 yards 10 times in his career.
Why he won't: Mayflower played just 11 games last year, otherwise Dycus likely would have been over 5,000 yards. A solid playoff run gives Dycus a shot at the national lead.
