Five True Freshmen Who Didn't Arrive Until June But Could Still Carve Out Meaningful Roles in 2018

As much as fans get excited about all the blue chip recruits littered throughout another Urban Meyer recruiting class, the reality is that most new arrivals don't make significant impacts on the field as true freshmen.

One way for a true freshman to push the odds of seeing the field in year one in his favor is to enroll early. Within the 2018 class, a total of eight enrolled early including names like defensive tackle Tommy Togiai, center Matthew Jones, running back Master Teague, cornerback Sevyn Banks and linebacker Dallas Gant. Juco transfer defensive tackle Antwuan Jackson also enrolled back in January.
