The 2017 college football season saw many immediate impact freshmen from the likes of Jonathan Taylor at Wisconsin to J.K. Dobbins at Ohio State to Jake Fromm at Georgia and many more. The Class of 2018 made a heck of an impact in the College Football Playoff, including Fromm’s leadership at Georgia and both passer and receiver from the 2nd and 26 play that won it all for Alabama.

The Class of 2018 has a lot to live up to after the mark the 2017 class made on college football, but the quest begins in less than three weeks when most teams kick off the season.

The newly-reformed red-shirt rules make it even easier for true freshmen to see the field. Instead of restrictions based on which games you play as well as injury, anyone is eligible for a red-shirt if they play four or fewer games for that team.

Meanwhile, early enrollment is more common than ever and the list of 2018 recruits set for playing time heavily features those that participated in spring football practices.

Here are our 18 freshmen we cannot wait to see on the field in three weeks.
