30 Day Countdown - Day 24: Which Redshirt Freshman Will Make the Biggest Impact?

The redshirt is a thing of beauty. We get to learn about a player, read his scouting reports, and obsess over grainy video clips from high school games during the recruiting process. When the player signs his letter of intent, we can start to dream about how the future roster will fit together and project depth charts that might never come to fruition. A handful of players make an impact as true freshmen, but most need a year to acclimate to the system and build their bodies up to Pac-12 standards. With that year under their belt, they come to fall camp as young veterans and we can start to dream about their potential all over again.
