ACC Football Breakout Players for 2013

Posted Jul 24, 2013
Caleb Peterson, OG, UNC: Peterson has big shoes to fill as he tries to replace Jonathan Cooper, but the Alabama native was regarded as a four-star prospect in the 2012 signing class. The 6-foot-5, 300-pound guard will have a tough introduction to college football with a date against South Carolina in the opener. However, Peterson has the talent to emerge as a strength by the end of the year. (Athlon Sports)
