Despite serving two suspensions and missing additional time due to a concussion, rising sophomore B-Back Dedrick Mills had arguably the biggest impact of any 2016 signee on his team as a true freshman. That sentiment is echoed in the above article from ESPN, which notes that Mills led the team in rushing with 771 yards and an additional 12 touchdowns. Had he kept on the straight-and-narrow all year long, he almost certainly would’ve hit the 1,000-yard mark and figures to be in the running for that statistic during the 2017 season. Parker Braun is also mentioned among the true freshmen who made a big impact in the ACC; his success reflects well on the ESPN recruiting rankings, which had him as a top-300 recruit and four-star prospect, much higher than any other source.
