Freshman most likely to have a legit role next year (Including RS freshman)?
Obviously as the season wears on, there should be some opportunities via injury or just young players improving.
Think about how last year finished in the biggest moments... Leatherwood @ LT, Harris @ RB, Tua @ QB, and of course D. Smith with the big catch. Who could have ever seen that coming?!
My guesses:
-Phildariun Mathis / Seems like a good bet to add depth on the DL. Good size and hopefully versatility!
-Markail Benton / I see him as the 3rd LB and potentially our best pass coverage option. Thought it was great they didn't burn his RS late... Could be a good one for us!
-Josh Jobe / Could be anyone's guess between Jobe, Surtain, and JAD. But I love his size and speed... Plays physical. Think he may beat some older guys out eventually
-Xavier Williams / I know Waddle is more highly ranked, but Williams has more size. It's been tough for little WR's to hit the field at Bama because of the premium on blocking (and maybe the scheme?). Lots of talented young guys at WR right now but maybe he can squeeze into that rotation.
-Stephon Wynn / Same reasons as Mathis. If he beats him out, could see the field!
-Delong / Someone has to punt
