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.

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.

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.

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.

Arkansas has three guys that I think we be immediate impact type players.
McTelvin Agim (defensive end), Devwah Whaley (RB), and TJ Hammonds (flex slot hybrid type in the mold of Percey Harvin). These guys are studs and are too good to redshirt. I'm sure there are others, but these guys are just off the top of my head.
Austin Capps is another guy that should be in the rotation pretty quickly on the defensive line.

I expect all of these guys to play heavily next season:
Kyle Davis
NCM
Marlon Davidson
Derrick Brown
Landon Rice
Antwaun Jackson
Paul James

Jonathan Kongbo will play a lot and he'll be an instant impact DE opposite Barnett
We got 3 top 100 players in the secondary (Tyler Byrd, Marquill Osborne and Nigel Warrior) and I expect that at least 2 of the 3 will play significant minutes in 2016. Most likely Warrior because he plays safety, and we aren't as deep there as we are at CB.
Jeff George or Marquez Callaway could see some PT at receiver, although that's not a position of great need for us depth-wise right now.
There will be a few more of course, but honestly, I don't see us having to play very many new players this year. We finally aren't young and won't be relying too much on first year players.

For Arkanasas
McTelvin Agim DE: D-Line stud who should be in the rotation if not starting by fall.
Devwah Wiley RB: We needed a stud RB and this kid is the real deal
Terrence Malone OG: should be a starter at gaurd for us this season. Early enroll.
T.J. Hammonds ATH: Have to assume he will be doing some returning and will be on the field in some form this season.
Austin Capps DT: He's a 300 pounder and I would think he's going to see some rotation time.
Paul Ramirez OT: JUCO transfer, should have or at least be competing for starting job this year.
Some other kids may get some time, but I'mm 99% sure these one's will see the field.

With LSU returning 18 starters there is little pressure for incoming freshmen to make an immediate impact.
Divinity at LB will probably make the biggest impact. Need depth there and he is in for the spring. Top 5 OLB in country.
Even though we return top 4 DTs look for R Lawrence to get some snaps. Top 5 DT in the country.
Secondary is loaded, return seven guys with starting experience but, that is one positio group that always seems to put true freshmen on the field. Take your pick, Fulton, Smith or Monroe. All were top 5 in the country at their respective position.
Offensive two deep is pretty much set. Would be a suprise to see a true freshman get significant snaps on that side the ball.
