Trend to True Freshman will continue for elites
This has been a trend for more than 15 years. I remember an SI article to this effect after the 2003 season because both LSU and USC used a lot of true freshmen that year (e.g., Justin Vincent, Laron Landry, Reggie Bush, Lendale White, etc.).
This is not new.
That said, Alabama's freshmen were very impressive.

Just so you know I'm not making this up ... here's a link to that SI article from 2004:
Fountain of Youth
Fountain of Youth
quote:
It's no idle threat. "We're hoping we get surprised by [an incoming freshman] who can knock someone out of their starting position," says Carroll. "Just take it." Since his arrival in Los Angeles in December 2000, Carroll has displayed a bracing open-mindedness, a quality that is not the hallmark of his chosen profession. It has long been gospel among football coaches--alongside such pebble-grained maxims as "turnovers will kill you" and "the game is won in the trenches"--that youth, in excess, will get you beat.

Trevor Lawrence will start at Clemson this year if he learns the playbook and doesn’t get arrested while at practice. He is basically Chad Kelly but better.
