It is time to get on the field for the 2024 College Football season. For many players, they are familiar with how the season will go. The newcomers, the true freshmen, are getting a new education.
247Sports put together a list of some of the top freshmen heading into the season. This list included all true freshmen and none of the redshirt variety. The Big 12 conference saw two players on the list written by 247Sports writer Chris Hummer. Here they are:
Micah Hudson, Texas Tech Red Raiders wide receiver:
Hudson was the fifth-best receiver in the freshman class and 25th overall. The Red Raiders love to pass the football, and he will be seen his the top threat in every game offensively. Here is what the article had to say:
You could go in a number of directions for the final receiver slot. The 2024 class features an outrageously deep group of wideouts who will play as true freshmen. But let’s highlight Micah Hudson who is the top-ranked recruit in Texas Tech history. Hudson has impressed since he stepped on campus and multiple sources have pointed to him as a Day 1 contributor in what should be a high-flying offense.
Jordan Seaton, Colorado Buffaloes, Offensive lineman
The talk of the Buffaloes is Coach Prime and his son, quarterback Shedeur Sanders. The big ugly upfront is not getting a ton of love, and yet the top offensive tackle freshman coming into College Football is headed to Boulder. Hummer has high praise:
It’s no secret that Colorado brought in Jordan Seaton to play right away. The Buffaloes took an all-in approach to land Seaton over Maryland, and it didn’t take long during spring for Seaton to emerge as the program’s likely starting left tackle. Colorado’s offensive line struggled last season — Deion Sanders publicly ripped the unit on multiple occasions — and it’ll be up to Seaton and four other new starters to keep Shedeur Sanders clean.
The first Big 12 game of 2024 is set for Thursday, August 29th. There are four conference foes in action.
