Freshman Receivers Are Shaking Up the Game — Who’s Poised to Dominate?
Smith wrapped his freshman season with 160 receiving yards, driving home the reality that even for a consensus five-star prospect and eventual Heisman Trophy winner, it’s hard to crack the field as a freshman, let alone make national waves.
In 2024, a couple of freshmen are making it look easier than it really is.
Alabama’s Ryan Williams doesn’t turn 18 until after the season, but he’s emerged as the most important target for a Crimson Tide program that looks like a College Football Playoff team in Kalen DeBoer’s first season. Ohio State’s Jeremiah Smith is already the best receiver on a team many expect to win the title.
