The 2021 season saw some of the most chaos and parity we've seen in quite some time. Part of that chaos involved true freshmen who made an impact on their respective teams.
A true freshman quarterback supplanted a preseason Heisman candidate at Oklahoma. A late addition to the Texas' 2021 class led the Longhorns in receiving yards. A Georgia tight end dominated from the start.
The first-year players came in ready to play and made a difference across the country. With the regular season finished, here is the ESPN true freshman All-America list for 2021.
