Clarret is the poster boy for this phenomenon.
Barry Sanders had like 1,600 yards more and 29 more touchdowns than jailboy in his Heisman season. The only poster boy for this phenomenon is Barry.

I really can't think of any Horns that fit this.  Most anyone who had an excellent season, had at least some decent playtime before that.  Or after.

I keep wanting to list Kenneth Walker III‘s 2021 season at Michigan State, but then remember KW started at Wake Forest the two seasons prior. Responsible for his dunce coach’s $100M contract.

Mitchell Trubisky had a monster sole starting year at North Carolina in 2016 before the Bears drafted him second overall.

Terrell Farley Nebraska sort of fits here.  He fell out of the CC sky in 1995, didn't start until the 7th game, and was dismissed from team part way through 96 season.

That guy was a specimen.  Wreaked havoc.

Hmm, never heard of him.

The 06 champs had a CB who barely played at Utah before transferring to Florida.  
CB Ryan Smith
2nd-team All-American, led the SEC with 8 INTs.
.
In looking him up, apparently he REALLY wanted to play for Meyer.  So much so in fact that he took 21 credit hours over the summer to become a grad transfer, lol.  Damn, son!

He was the first Husker player I thought of. An absolute stud.
