Kids from the 2016 class that will play immediately for your team

Who are kids that you signed that, due to attrition or a poor depth chart, will be counted on to step onto campus and immediately contribute?
For Alabama
Charles Baldwin (4-star, #2 JUCO, #1 JUCO OT) - He will be expected to show up and immediately compete for one of the vacant OL positions, probably RT.
Jamar King (3-star, #51 JUCO, #4 SDE) - Will be expected to come in and join the rotation
BJ Emmons (4-star, #35 overall, #2 RB) and/or Joshua Jacobs (3-star, #460 overall #11 RB) - Due to our RB depth situation I would expect either one to get a chance to be the #3 RB behind Bo and D-Harris (waiting on grades with Emmons)
Ben Davis (5-star, #10 overall, #1 ILB) - Saban likes to have 1 freshman rotate in and become the alpha dog for the next few years (McClain, Hightower, Mosely, SD Hamilton last few years) and my guess is that will be Davis this year. He isn't going to be "needed" to play, but my guess is he will in some capacity.
Other than that, my guess is most will play some on special teams or redshirt. We are pretty deep with talent at OL, WR, DB.

Drake Davis will make an immediate impact.

Will he get the Tunsil/Cam Rob treatment and show up as the expected starter at LT from day one?

For sure. He's expected to do exactly as Tunsil did. Big shoes to fill.

I doubt auburn red shirts many defensive recruits. Depth issues killed us last year.

Divinity will play ST right away. He will also be in the 2 deep at LB, I'm assuming.
Lawrence will be in the rotation at DT.

6 straight years of a 1st-round pick/5-star/#1 player LT is incredibly impressive by Freeze. That just doesn't happen very often (or ever).

I think Agim will be put into the DL rotation at the start of the season. Whaley might start at RB to start the season if Williams doesn't recover but should get a significant amount of carries either way.
Posted on 2/4/16 at 8:18 am to Cheeky Fellow
Trayveon Williams likely will since we don't really have a back with his skill set on the team right now
Aaron Hansford either at OLB or H Back
Possibly Madabuike
Tyrel Dodson will likely get a chance to play right away also

Devwah Whaley should get in the rotation pretty early.
McTelvin Agim is ready to play already it sounds like. (EE)
Due to depth at LB, De'jon Harris and Giovanni LaFrance have a chance to get on the field pretty early.

Dude this is almost all wrong.
The only "Starters" will be Greg Little and MAYBE Deontay Anderson.
Almost all of your "Starters after fall camp" will be redshirted.
Wiley could see time.

Y'all are straight fricked if half of your starters are true freshman
Posted on 2/4/16 at 8:28 am to ShaneTheLegLechler
Offense:
Eason (hopefully)
Ben Cleveland
one of the new WR probably Wims being Juco
Defense:
Hardman on nickel package
others might get playing time but 19 freshman got playing time last year so pretty experienced everywhere

QB Brandon McIlwain could definitely get in the rotation but at this point it's too early to tell.
WR Our situation here sucks so Kiel Pollard, Korey Banks, Bryan Edwards, and Randrecous Davis could all potentially see serious PT.
RB Rico Dowdle is a stud and flew under the radar a bit. David Williams on paper should be a dominant back, and is one of our only returning backs, but cant break even the feeblest of arm tackles. Dowdle could get the nod.
DL Our Run defense was pathetic. Stephon Taylor and Kobe Smith at DT could see early action. Kier Thomas at Buck could as well though he is battling one of our only good defenders for the job.
CB Jamarcus King should have no trouble being CB1 from day one.

The only recruit that will be an impact player from day one for Bama is Baldwin. All of the other guys will be backups or redshirted. That's why it's hard to get too excited about Bama's recruiting class. Most of them won't get major playing time for another two or three years.
