The college football season is almost two months away and anticipation for the upcoming campaign is only building as the offseason hits its homestretch.
That rings especially true in the Big Ten, which will return no shortage of stars to the field in the 2016 season.
But with turnover being a constant in each college football season, the conference's statistical leaderboard could find itself looking very different at this season's end than it did a year prior. Already, the league knows it will crown a new rushing king in 2016, as well as new leaders in passing yards, touchdowns, receiving (catches, yards and touchdowns), tackles and sacks based on departures from 2015.
Suffice to say, even with all the returning talent in the Big Ten, some new names in the league will find themselves at the forefront in the coming year. With that in mind, let's take a stab at predicting who will wind up the leader in each major individual statistical category in 2016.
