Another outstanding article that I highly suggest you read.

Who are some of your impact true freshmen for 2012? Personally, I think Virginia LB Eli Harold and Mississippi State DT Quay Evans will make big impacts this fall.

With Crowell out with a career-ending stupidity,  Keith Marshall should be on this list.
Travis Blanks will definitely have an impact this year.  He’s already a Venables favorite and penciled in as starting nickle. 
If there wasn’t such a large group of talented WRs in front of him, I think Germone Hopper could make an immediate contribution.  He may still get some work at RB this year and in the slot (probably more for the running plays out of that position).  Quick and shifty.

I definitely could have listed 20 without having to really stretch for any. Should be a lot of early contributors this year.

The article wa submitted just before the incident took place. If we were to re-write the article now I a sure that Marhsall would be included. Because of Crowell’s suspension, it is also very likely that Todd Gurley will see a lot of carries for the Bulldogs.
