These true freshmen could be key starters for their teams in 2026.
First is a recognizable name, Ohio State's Chris Henry Jr.
He could have a key role for a Buckeyes receiving corps that's looking to replace Carnell Tate.
In the 2026 class on 24/7 Sports, he was the number two wide receiver and the 24th overall prospect.
Next, it's been a foregone conclusion that Miami is going to start Jackson Cantwell at left tackle.
Cantwell was one of the most highly touted offensive line recruits in a very long time.
He was the number two ranked tackle and sixth overall in the 2026 class.
Washington's Cody Green might not be a household name, but the 6'6" tackle could start at left tackle for the Huskies after he held the position for most of the spring.
He was a big pull for Jedd Fisch as the fourth rated tackle and 27th overall recruit.
USC edge Luke Wafe is one of these first-off-the-bus guys that looks ridiculously big.
He could be a rotational piece on a Trojans defense that really needs to step up against Big 10 competition.
He was the number one edge recruit and the seventh recruit overall.
Michigan running back Savion Highter is an important name to know for the Big Ten race this season.
He could take over the starting running back role and rush for 1,000 yards.
He was the number two running back and the number 21 overall recruit in the class.
And lastly, Zion Ealey shocked a lot of people when he decided to stay local and play for Maryland.
He was rated as the number three edge and the 10th overall recruit.
