2025 Impact Freshman

[Sebastian Font]

247 just released their all-impact freshman team for the 2025 season. Kellen Wiley is listed at Linebacker as the ’Canes only representative. Who else do you guys think could make a big impact as a freshman for the Hurricanes next year?

Pringle, Lowe and Toney all have the chance to fee the field early. People sleep on Bryce Fitzgerald. He’s definitely a guy that can make a big impact on special teams, which could lead to some snaps early

I think Lowe and Toney are the two to watch. Especially Toney if we don’t bring in another receiver

Honestly, I don't see anyone really standing out as a true freshman this year. I'm referring to real impact.

But that doesn't mean anything because I figured OJ would redshirt and he's a Fr AA.

toney is a better version of X

Our LBs aren’t very good, so I agree on Wiley having a shot. Tough spot though and it generally takes LBs a year.

Lowe to me because the other promising young guys are still not there physically it seems. I guess Cole Mc can be but Lightfoot and Pickett still look too small.

Schott, Wiley, and Pringle have the clearest paths to early playing time.

A true freshman that has never played is better than the most prolific receiver we have had- an all American.
No pressure.

Man I don’t know. We barely used Chris Johnson it’s hard to see Pringle getting carries this year.

To be fair, last years rb room was a lot deeper as Christ Johnson was rb5. Pringle will be fighting for rb3 reps with CWH

Good point. Lyle was RB3 and he put up 400 yards.

Pringle is more of a true RB Johnson doesn’t have the vision wiggle or toughness to get thru tackles yet
