The SEC showed this past football season that it has plenty of freshman talent capable of competing at the highest level of college football.
It was no more evident than in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game when true freshman quarterbacks Jake Fromm and Tua Tagovailoa dominated on the sport’s biggest stage.
Of course, it’s not just the freshman QBs that make up the SEC.
There are quite a few players at other positions who have shown their own forms of dominance.
An NFL.com piece titled, “CFB’s freshman phenoms: Top 15 to watch in 2018 and beyond,” on Thursday touted some of the conference’s best players young players.
Below are six SEC freshmen who made NFL Draft analyst Chad Reuter’s final cut. It’s really no surprise to see any of the players listed. They all appear to have bright futures and should one day be playing on Sundays:
11. Greedy Williams, CB, LSU
10. Andrew Thomas, OT, Georgia
7. Trey Smith, OG, Tennessee
4. D’Andre Swift, RB, Georgia
2. Jake Fromm, QB, Georgia
1. Tua Tagovailoa, QB, Alabama
