Possible Impact Freshman. RedRaiderSports’ Ben Golan lists five freshmen who could have an impact this next year, and this includes redshirt freshmen and I’m usually of the opinion that freshmen aren’t really going to make a big impact normally. Redshirt freshmen usually have a better shot, but most freshmen are so far behind in terms of strength and conditioning so skill positions usually can make a bigger impact because if you’re just fast and skilled, that can translate, but if the position needs strength then it is usually more difficult. I am interested in Xavier Benson, I don’t know what to think about him as I think the Raider position is pretty thin (last year it was Kolin Hill and Tony Jones and they saw a majority of the snaps) and inexperienced.
