The Big 12 has seen true freshmen take the conference by storm over the past few years.
Karl Joseph earned a reputation as one of the Big 12’s best hitters during his first year at West Virginia in 2012. Andrew Billings began to make his mark at Baylor while starting the final two games for the Big 12 title-winning Bears in 2013. Samaje Perine transformed Oklahoma’s offense in 2014. KaVontae Turpin brought explosiveness to TCU’s offense in 2015.
Year in and year out, true freshmen step on campus and make an immediate impact.
