A host of structural changes are coming ahead of the 2024 college football season, including the inaugural campaign for the 12-team playoff structure that will finally provide football parity the CFB landscape has been yearning for over the last decade.
Year after year, contending teams, especially in the SEC, are led by at least one freshman stud on offense or defense who makes a consistent impact throughout each season to put any contender over the edge. While it may be early in the offseason, spring practices are less than a month away, and many young talent are set to take the field in the South Eastern Conference, which now includes Texas and Oklahoma.
For Texas A&M, several incoming freshman offensive and defensive playmakers have a chance to show off this spring, including wide receivers Izaiah Williams, Ashton Bethel-Roman and speedster Ernest Campbell.
While the Aggies under defensive-minded head coach Mike Elko should thrive on that side of the ball, all three receivers listed will be depended on in some shape or form starting next month.
This week, 247Sports provided their own thoughts on the subject, ranking their top 10 “under-the-radar” SEC freshman poised to make the biggest impact in 2024. Here is that list.
