Each year, college football coaches look for recruits who can fit their schemes and be major impacts within the program. In many cases, coaches want these athletes to excel sooner than later.
There are many coaches nationally who won't look for excuses to play their best athletes. If that means a freshman outshines a senior in practices, so be it. The 2016 recruiting class has a handful of athletes who are capable of making an upperclassman a permanent backup.
Of course, it all depends on how fast a player adapts to a program, but here are 10 2016 athletes who not only could see playing time in college but also could be put into starting roles as freshmen. All names are listed in alphabetical order.

DT Derrick Brown
Hometown (school): Buford, Georgia (Lanier)
Size: 6'4", 305 lbs

Many coaches will say that football games are won in the trenches, and when it comes to "the trenches," winning teams have dominant offensive and defensive linemen. Derrick Brown has the potential to be one of the dominant tackles of the SEC. Georgia is a favorite to sign him in February.
Brown has a few SEC schools high on his list, including Georgia, Alabama, Auburn and Tennessee. He has made unofficial visits to all four schools, as well as Ole Miss and Mississippi State, this month. Georgia holds a proximity advantage, as it is roughly an hour away from his home.
