NCAA Football: Most Promising Freshmen
Writing by admin on Thursday, 23 of August , 2007 at 4:15 pm
No doubt you’ve heard of the Heisman Trophy. Maybe you’re even familiar with the Outland Trophy. The “Freshman of the Year Award” isn’t quite as sexy – only been around since 2001, after all. Texas QB Colt McCoy won last year’s honors; who will be the lucky recipient this year?
Quarterback being the marquee position that it is, you’ll probably hear a lot about Washington’s Jake Locker. According to Scout.com, Locker is “a bigger Marques Tuiasosopo with a stronger arm.” That’s high praise for the local boy – he’s from Ferndale, not far from the Canadian border.
Your other strong FOY candidate is running back DeMarco Murray, who will start the season splitting duties at Oklahoma with senior RB Allen Patrick. Adrian Peterson’s shoes may be too big to fill, but if OU challenges for the Big 12 title, Murray’s contribution will put him in the driver’s seat to win the award – provided Patrick doesn’t steal the spotlight.
