Alabama stacks up with the best of them with standout Cam Robinson as only 1 of 2 true freshmen starting at LT in the power five conferences.

Tony Brown also looks to be coming on strong.


For now, I'd give the crown to UT. Josh Malone and Jalen Hurd look to be the real deal.

I'm as full of Bama as Tommy Lewis but we haven't had enough contributing freshmen to really say that.

Robinson is a fricking beast, though.

Cam Robinson is already among the best LTs in the SEC.

Tony Brown is good, but raw.

Rashaan Evans has shown flashes but doesn't get a lot of PT.

Myles Garrett for A&M

Edit: Misread the post. From what I can tell, I'd say Tennessee. That may also be due to the fact that more of them are playing. UGAs freshman running backs are no joke

LSU and Tennessee, with Tennessee probably relying on their freshmen more than LSU.

I would imagine Arkansas is using a lot of freshmen too. A&M of course has Myles Garrett and Speedy, but I haven't heard about many others

Malone and Hurd are legit.. but you didn't even name our best freshman.

Derek Barnett.

Georgia's true frosh take a back seat to no team.

- Sony Michel (RB), Nick Chubb (RB), Isaiah McKenzie (PR), Jeb Blazevich (TE), Lorenzo Carter (DE), Dominick Sanders (S), all have played huge roles for the Dawgs.

- Isaiah Wynn and Dyshon Sims have played quality minutes on the OL.

- Three true frosh CBs have also seen time: Malcolm Parrish, Rico Johnson, and Shaq Jones.

Can't speak for other teams, but this may be the most a Freshman class has contributed to UGA in quite a while.

Considering half of our 2 deep consist of true freshman, it has to be UT. At least from top to bottom..

Our 2 best TEs, best RB, and OL are true freshman. Malone is turning into a playmaker.
Derek Barnett is probably our best DL and Todd Kelly at safety is a playmaker.

Our best players on coverage teams are all freshman. So is our place kicker, Aaron Medley, and he looks to be legit.

Yes, it does speak to how poor the roster was before they arrived, but just about every recruit is living up to the hype, and most are performing better than expected.

State, I think, is planning to RS all but one, Graham is returning punts.

Well UT and LSU are playing the most TF so I think they're 1&2 in that order. Over half of LSU's offensive touchdowns thus far have been scored by the TF. Also more than half of the TD passes are accounted by the TF.

UT takes this title easily.

How about who are the top 5 true freshmen so far?

LSU or Tennessee off the top of my head. Other classes like Bama's will contribute more down the road.

A&M has Myles Garrett, Speedy Noil, and Armani Watts who have been major impacts on our team. Josh Walker started a game at LBer. Kyle Allen has taken a good number of snaps. Victor Davis started 3 games at CB.

LSU, easily.

QB Harris is starting.
WRs Quinn and Dupre have both started.
DT Godchaux is starting.
RB Fournette is leading rusher.
RB Williams getting quality PT.
DE Clark is getting quality PT.
S Adams is getting quality PT.

83% of our points have come from freshmen and sophomores.

RSJ, Speedy, Myles Garrett, Armani Watts, Zay Henderson, Nick Harvey, Qualen Cunningham have all been far more impressive than whatever Alabama has thrown out there.
