Red, Yellow, Green Light: The 2022 Recruiting Class

Who from the 2022 recruiting class is expected to see the field right away?

A few too many Yellow lights for me. Realistically unless there are injuries at WR there area plenty of WR's on the roster and positive reports on them for me to believe any true freshmen WR's will burn their redshirt other than Saunders. And if a couple of the 2020 and 2021 WR's , such as Wallace and Dottin, are ready to work into the rotation even Saunders may not play more than 4 games and still keep his redshirt.

And on the OL, with 5 players competing for the 2 Guard spots unless Nelson wins the starting job he is very likely redshirting.

And the DB's, which seems to be the position of depth at both CB and Safety. Why would Franklin play any of the true freshmen more than 4 games unless there is a rash of injuries?

4 of the Green light players listed are pretty obvious other than the depth at WR regarding Saunders. Bacchetta may very well win a starting punting job but if he doesn't he could redshirt, as the big guy Gabriel Nwosu boomed a couple in the B/W scrimmage.

Thanks for posting, my thoughts from their list:

Saunders i would have yellow

Kaytron Allen I would put green (yeah i think both Freshman RBs play from the jump)

Carter I was debating putting him green but decided on yellow. Could easily see him get plenty of meaningful PT this year.

Ivey, Evans, Miller, Nelson all red.

Not convinced yet Aller will be a yellow over Pribula (one of them had to be yellow)

Kaytron Allen will be interesting. With Singleton sure to play, Lee the likely early year starter, and both Ford and Holmes having paid their dues and have shown some talent, maybe the staff just plays Allen 4 games.

If Carter would have enrolled in January and participated in Spring practice he might have gotten serious playing time from the start. But it will be interesting to see how Carter can prove he knows the defense and LB responsibilities. So the starting LB's do perform well he probably redshirts. Carter looks to be a Will or Mike, and with Jacobs solid at Will and 2 returning players competing at Mike, there really may be no need to play him unless he is too good to keep off the field. I see Sutherland as the weak link at LB but it's hard to find a good option at Sam other than possibly Buddin. We need Diaz to work some magic.
