One of the smaller surprises of the 2018 season, of which there were many, was how small a factor the 2018 recruiting class ultimately played in its success. On one hand, it’s no surprise a ton of freshman didn’t play key roles on a 12-0 team. Usually those two things don’t correlate. On the other hand, prior to the season it was expected that as many as 7 or 8 would see significant time on the field. That number ultimately landed on four–Houston Griffith, Kevin Austin, TaRiq Bracy, and Jayson Ademilola. Of those three, Griffith saw the most time, with so-so results, with Ademilola being the most effective.
