re: How many teams are dependent on their incoming Freshman every season?

My guess for Tennessee

RB: Jalen Hurd will be the cleacut #2. Derrell Scott could be used as a change of pace guy
WR: Josh Malone will be a starter most likely
TE: Ethan Wolf and Daniel Helm will be the top two tight ends
RT: Coleman Thomas likely starts
DL: Derek Barnett, Dewayne Hendrix and Dimarya Mixon will all see significant PT
LB: Dillon Bates possible starter, will see a lot of PT
CB: Emmanuel Moseley likely starter, Evan Berry likely a backup
NB: D'Andre Payne and Rashaan Gaulden will see PT, but won't start
S: Todd Kelly, Jr. and Cortez McDowell could battle for the starting FS spot with returnee LaDarrell McNeil, both will see PT
K: Aaron Medley will start

In total
5 or 6 starters
10 or 11 more will get significant PT
