Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs were working hard to land another top-ranked class, and on Friday, spring football practice included a number of important targets on campus. More significantly, they actively seek for candidates who they believe will contribute to upholding the program’s standards.
Julian Lewis, a five-star quarterback from Carrollton, Georgia, was among the primary attractions in town. Lewis, a USC recruit, is making progress toward his goals by keeping in touch with the Trojans, Alabama, Auburn, Colorado, Indiana, and the Bulldogs.
Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and Arizona State. With the arrival of a new season come new faces that are positioned to be top performers and rising stars in 2024. This spring, a wide range of talented athletes, including disruptive defenders, outstanding receivers, and prospective quarterbacks, are poised to succeed.
While some of the individuals on this list are newbies from the high school or transfer portal ranks, the majority of them made some kind of contribution last season. Spring practices are about to start, or have already started, for all 12 Big 12 schools. This is an important time for young college football players to continue their growth.
After speaking with team insiders across the Big 12, it is time to showcase the list of emerging talents worth keeping an eye on this spring.
As one of the top FCS transfers in the 2024 portal cycle, Jack Kelly came to BYU. With the potential to be an All-Big 12 player this season, the former Weber State standout is already one of the most athletic players in Provo. Kelly was a member of the Wildcats for 28 games, recording 85 tackles, 20 of which were for loss, and 16.5 sacks. As a very disruptive defender, he also forced five fumbles, recovered two fumbles, broke up seven passes, and recorded an interception. The native of Utah anticipates being a rising star in the spring and possibly a key player for BYU in 2024.
