Three seasons ago, a skinny freshman receiver put up nearly 1,000 receiving yards on one of the most disappointing teams in the nation.who turned into one of the best receivers ever to don a burnt orange jersey, Georgia's Brock Bowers stole the show, winning the Shaun Alexander Freshman of the Year award as the best pass-catcher on the national champion Bulldogs, all as a freshman tight end.
Now in 2024, two players headline the watchlist for the best team Texas has fielded since 2009. Wide receiver Ryan Wingo and edge Colin Simmons were both selected to the Shaun Alexander Freshman of the Year Award Watchlist, as announced on Wednesday, joining 35 other fantastic freshmen around the nation.
Wingo has already shown flashes in Austin, making a name for himself in the spring game. The freshman hauled in four passes for 81 yards and two touchdowns, but that's not why he earned a five-star rating in high school. Wingo was 247Sports' No. 7 receiver in the 2024 class and averaged over 80 receiving yards a game in his shortened senior season.
Wingo also finds himself in a crowded room featuring three notable transfers, three highly touted sophomores and pass catchers in the tight end and running back room. Despite that, Wingo possesses something many of the other players don't.
