Washington football could start three true freshmen in Week One
In an appearance on The Jim Rome Show, Jedd Fisch said as many as three true freshmen could start in the Apple Cup.
Washington football coach Jedd Fisch is planning to start three freshmen during the team's Week One game, according to his recent comments. The five-star recruits, including left tackle Kodi Greene, defensive linemen Derek Colman-Brusa and Ramzak Fruean, wide receivers Jordan Clay and Trez Davis, and defensive backs Jeron Jones and Gavin Day, are expected to make a significant impact in their first season.
Fisch, who has produced five Freshman All-Americans in his first two years at Washington, compared starting freshmen to drafting high picks in the NFL. He believes that investing heavily in freshmen means expecting them to play. Greene, who played high school football in Seattle before attending Mater Dei High School, is set to walk on as a freshman and potentially start right away.
Colman-Brusa, a true freshman three-technique, is also expected to start alongside Greene. Jones, a defensive back, might surprise some fans as he has only recently begun receiving first-team reps due to the injury of sophomore cornerback Dylan Robinson.
