The rotation of top players in College Football can be a bitter and sweet part of the game. Just as fans start to admire a player, they often move on to the NFL, similar to Dwayne Haskins. Fans came to rely on stars like Christian Wilkins and Clelin Ferrell at Clemson, only to see them depart after just four years.
To inject more drama and excitement between the season start and the championship game, new players need to step up to fill the big shoes left by departing stars. Here are the latest updates on how the departure of key players and the introduction of new stars will impact the 2019 season.
Alabama’s defensive tackle position is seeing a significant changing of the guard. With Quinnen Williams moving on, Phidarian Mathis and Christian Barmore are set to take his place. While player turnover is standard for teams each year, these replacements have the skills and potential to contribute effectively to the team.
Ohio State’s quarterback position is also experiencing a turnover with Dwayne’s exit. Justin Fields and Mathew Baldwin are stepping in to fill the void. Moreover, Washington State’s QB role is going through a transition as Gardener Minshew leaves, making way for Cammon Cooper or Gunner Cruz to take over.
