Based on who we have commits from so far, who makes the biggest impact as a true freshman?

Anthony Wallace or Colt Lyerla if he plays LB
the rest will probably redshirt

I think its going to be the two junior college players (Rahsaan Vaughn and Jared Ebert) and then if there's going to be a high school recruit that contributes early I would pick Colt Lylera or Devon Blackmon.

I hope Anthony Wallace has a big impact, but in our D the MLB has to know a lot and be a QB out there. Mathews was great at making sure everyone was lined up right and that they all knew the call. Can't have mix ups out there, or we could see a lot of runs like the one at Tenn. I know the coaches are most worried about replacing Casey because he meant so much to the D the last 3 years.
I think Blackmon plays a ton and becomes, over his 4 years here, the home run threat we all thought Holland and Derrick Jones would be.

Blackmon and Vaughn at WR.
Ebert, Lyerla, Wallace and one of the DTs (Heyward or Simmons)...

I was in love with Anthony wallace.....but i'm not so sure after watching the under armour AA game.....He was really slow laterally and missed his assignment and let a QB(driskel) go right by him for a 70 yard td run. He looks great at stuffing the run on the line and filling gaps but his lateral movements really need work as does his coverage in the passing game

Offense: Rahsaan Vaughn (I'd change the pick to Colt if he plays TE).
Defense: Anthony Wallace

With 2 senior TE's and Curtis White coming off his red shirt year.... I would be surprised to see Colt on the field next year as a TE.

David Paulson and Brandon Williams are pretty good to me, Brandon was hurt at beginning of season (Tenn game) and Curtis White coming off redshirt So Depth chart could be, Paulson, Willams and White. I can see whoever incoming freshman at TE postion will redshirt.

Both are legit. I'd be shocked to see Colt usurp much of any PT from either of them, plus White was highly touted coming out of high school.

I can only see Colt seeing the field on defense next year unless they use him in the DJ Davis or Jeff Maehl screen plays or for blocking...

I can't see him playing much on D either... We're pretty stacked at LB as far as the two-deep goes. Maybe special teams, but I wouldn't mind giving him a redshirt at all.
I bet Vaughn makes the biggest impact initially.

We're only returning 5 LBs with game experience and one of them (Kiko Alonso) didn't play this season due to injury and suspension.
