Kato Nelson

Nelson had an up-and-down sophomore campaign, with a missed game due to an ankle injury mixed in. He failed to improve his efficiency by any significant stretch, going from a 50 percent completion rate as a freshman to 52.0 percent in 2018. A relative lack of top-end talent around him will hurt, but Andre Williams emerged as a viable No. 1 wide receiver last year. The head coaching change from Terry Bowden to Tom Arth shouldn't make much difference for Nelson or the Zips' offense, and better consistency could bring a solid jump this year.
