True freshmen in line for duty
This is speculation. I repeat, this is only speculation. It's based on numerous interviews and observations during preseason camp. Nothing is official until games roll around.
The true freshmen most likely to play this season?
I think there are seven strong candidates, four of whom I feel have especially good chances to play: WR Khiry Cooper, TE Ben Cotton, LB Will Compton and CB John Levorson.
Neither Cooper nor Cotton play a position at which help is immediately needed, necessarily. But both have made very, very strong impressions on coaches.
Compton and Levorson both play positions where depth is in relatively short supply.
In that regard, true freshmen Sean Fisher (OLB), Alfonzo Dennard (CB, nickel) and P.J. Smith (safety) also may have a good chance to play in 2008, depending on injuries and other similar factors.
