The Freshman 4 - 2018 Edition

[EC8CH]

Thought it'd be useful to start a thread that tracks how many games the true freshman participate in. That way we can see how close they are to burning their redshirts as they reach the magic number 4. I'll update the OP with running totals for the year and make a new post for each game with a list of freshman who played. Feel free to point out any errors or discuss the freshman players and anything related.

Phoenix Sproles 15
James Kaczor 12
Destin Talbert 11
Jasir Cox 10
Saybein Clark 4
Tony Pierce Jr. 3
Mark Stumpf 2
Trey Lance 2
Zach Mathis 1
*Dimitri Williams 4
*Logan McCormick 4
*Seth Wilson 4

* Non-Freshman with possibility of redshirting

Completed for Season including playoffs and championship game.

Channelle was called out by the broadcast, as was Stumpf, I also saw Tony Pierce Jr, Trey Lance (obvious) and Talbert.

So far biggest splash has been Trey Lance. Definitely looks to have the build and wheels of a D1 player as a true freshman.

I would assume our offense at the beginning of next year will look very similar to what it did when Easton took over for Carson after his injury in 2015.

Obviously an incredibly small sample size but his lone throw did look good. Good footwork, on time, on target, and good velocity... he's got a long ways to go I'm sure but this game certainly had to be a good building block.

Phoenix Sproles

Maybe it's more about 7 games from now than it is next year. Come playoffs and potential championship game are they expecting him to be able to contribute with essentially a year under his belt?

When you are expected and able to win chanpionships "burning" a redshirt can be about making that happen.
