Tsai, in the StarAd, has a nice write up of some of the freshmen that have been contributing this year. Not sure where Okeke and Pritchard will get in as our starting linebackers are playing well, but I look forward to seeing them on the field. Watch um on kick-off coverage - animals out there.

Tsai: "Lempa said three freshman contributors — safety Keala Santiago and linebackers Ikem Okeke and Jeremiah Pritchard — will have expanded roles.

“Okeke is doing a nice job on special teams,” Lempa said. “He belongs on the field. We need to get him on the field.”

I missed seeing Wilson and Look in the game. Were they on ST or playing on D?

Look and Wilson were on ST. I think Wilson was on defense for a couple of snaps too.

By my count, 21 RS/FR or True FR played in 2016 and gained valuable experience. Most played on special teams, but a number got into the rotation, especially on defense. It's going to be interesting to see them in the coming years.
