The last two years of the college football playoffs have shown the world multiple freshmen can make an immediate impact even on top tier teams loaded with talented upperclassmen.
Last year we saw Clemson’s freshmen Trevor Lawrence and Justyn Ross shred Notre Dame and Alabama defenses on their way to an undefeated National Title. The year before we saw a championship game that featured two freshmen quarterbacks in Jake Fromm and Tua Tagovailoa battle it out not to mention other standouts like D’Andre Swift, Jerry Jeudy, Devonta Smith and others play significant roles.
