Who are some freshmen you believe will see significant PT on defense in the fall?

I know it all depends on scheme with the new DC we’ll hire, but I expect a few of our freshmen to play on defense.

I would not be shocked if Phillip Webb saw significant playing time.

Also would not be shocked to see Sampah make a big push at inside linebacker.

I’m sure we’ll see quite a bit of Ricks on the field next season too.

As for the offense, I doubt we have any freshmen get significant playing time.

Webb and Ojulari could be used as athletic pass rushers. Depends on the DC.

I look for Roy and maybe Gaye to make the two deep at DE.

Jordan Toles has good length. Probably will see the field as they try out defensive packages. Has a 6’3 frame they could pack some weight on, turn him into a Richard Sherman type

Ricks and Gilbert are the two easy ones. They should both start at some point.

Boutte is too athletic to keep off the field, interested to see who gets JJ slot spot. (Kirkland and Palmer)

If we can flip SVP I can see him starting at Center.

Anyone else would be a stretch. Roy will get some play I would assume.

Gilbert is going to be an instant starter.

On defense? I wouldn’t be surprised to see Jaquelin Roy play his way into some PT this season. Kid is legit.

Boutte-may steal some pr duties and be our Waddle.
Gilbert-with Moss gone it's his job to lose. Should shine if we keep airing it out
Dumervil-if he hits the strength program hard I could see him getting snaps
Hill-we are deep at G but this kid can ball. Could pull an Ingram
Roy-no sense having a new toy, with a pretty open depth chart, and not showing him off. If he comes in ready he will play a lot.
Gaye-jucos got to play or they are just taking up a spot, Travez Moore. Put hi on the field and see what he's got
If we stay 3 man front Shelvin and Ika are too much for Guillory to play a lot.
Sampah/White-one is gonna have to play.
Webb/Ojulari-could see both playing but I'd think the hope is that one is ready to take off. My suspicion is Ojulari who's in and more body ready right now.
Ricks-he will get snaps just because.
Toles-could be starting by Bama. He's good and the position needs another playmaker. He's it.

I see 3-4 starters from our freshmen

1. Ricks will start at CB opposite Stingley
2. Webb will be a terror in practice at OLB/rush specialist
3. Sampah look out for him starting next to Clark at ILB
4. Roy may not start but will puch either Ferrell or Logan at DE

Logan Shelvin Farrell/Roy

Stevens Sampah Clark Webb
Ricks Stingley

Offense:

As others have said, Arik Gilbert probably starts day one and will be playing a large role regardless.

Kayshon Boutte should get a good amount of snaps as well, on offense and on special teams in the return game.

Defense:

Jaquelin Roy is going to be in the rotation at end.

I think Jordan Toles is going to make an impact. He’s going to be fun to watch with his athleticism. I doubt any team in the country has a pair of safeties that are more athletic than Toles and Mo Hampton. Both could realistically be pros in 2 sports.

Antoine Sampah and BJ Ojulari. We’re losing a lot of linebackers and it isn’t unrealistic that these guys come in and are better than the veteran depth guys and end up seeing a lot of snaps.

Roy, Guillory, Ricks, Mcglothern Ojulari and possibly Webb. Like you said though, a lot depends on the next DC.
