Not 50 years ago, freshmen were ineligible to play major college football; now even blue-blood programs -- whether by choice or necessity -- hand the keys to these newbies. Alabama and Georgia are perfect examples: Tagovailoa's and Fromm's predecessors, Jalen Hurts and Jacob Eason, were also true freshmen when they took over the position.
