The only reason I'm bringing this up is because I go to USF and our freshman RB Marlon Mack had a decent performance (granted it was WCU, but c'mon it's USF). Besides the obvious impact of Kaaya, what are your expectations of PT and impact for our freshman, ie. Yearby, Thomas, Berrios etc?

Lots of them play: Yearby, Berrios, Gray (special teams), Darling and McDermott are both needed for depth, Kaaya, Owens, maybe Thomas (I'm not sure). Probably a few others on special teams.

Impact: Kaaya, Yearby, maybe Berrios. Thomas might put on some pressure if he plays.

Someone not constantly talked about will score a big TD Braxton Berrios or Trayone Gray. I'd love to see Chad Thomas Strip 6 to put himself on the map.

You guys were struggling against them too lmao
 
Thomas, Yearby and Berrios will all have at least one flash play. It may not be a huge chunk play or a sack but it'll let everyone know that they're going to be the real deal for the next 3-4 years.

For example:

Chad Thomas will "Damien Mama" someone and get a QB hurry. He may not complete the sack but you'll know.

Yearby will break someone's ankle on a 5-10 yd gain.

Berrios will either slip his way to a nice 10-20yd punt return or catch a clutch 3rd down pass that will have the commentators breaking out the predictable "Welker" comparison (#83 too)

Kaaya is not included because he "doesn't seem to be a freshman", he's apparently a 30 year old JUCO transfer.
 
Gotta say, Berrios is already my favorite freshman. I expect great things from him.

I'm an atheist, but I pray for that kid's health anyway.

They will come out and prove they can play on the national stage and not look like Freshman.
