Georgia football's secnod and final scrimmage of fall camp has come and gone, and there are three true freshman who have been standing out the most throughout all of fall camp. So which freshman should Georgia fans expect to see early and often this season?

These are the three true freshman most likely to make a big impact on the field for Georgia this season in their first season in Athens.

OL Juan Gaston

Offensive linemen are the least likely players to start during their true freshman season, but Juan Gaston may accomplish that this year. Gaston was a five-star recruit out of high school and the No. 18 overall player in the country, but even being ranked that high doesn't guarantee he will see the field as a true freshman.

But not only has Kirby Smart essentially confirmed he will see the field this season, it has been reported that Gaston is already getting first team reps during fall camp. So don't be surprised to see Gaston trot out their for the first offensive possession against Marshall in two weeks.

WR Talyn Taylor

Georgia's wide receiver room is about as deep as it has been in quite some time, and a big reason for that is because Georgia has two incoming freshman who are already ready to make an impact. CJ Wiley is definitely a name to monitor this season, but Talyn Taylor is the most likely freshman on offense to make his presence known this season.

Taylor is the first five-star wide receiver Georgia has been able to earn a commitment from in a long time, and so far he is living up to the hype during fall camp. It's unlikely that Taylor will be a starter at any point this season, but he will be featured on offense often this year.

DT Elijah Griffin

Elijah Griffin has been the most talked about freshman since the moment he committed to Georgia's recruiting class. He was the No. 3 overall recruit out of high school and is joining a defensive line room at UGA that doesn't have as much depth as it typically does.

So this means Griffin could very easily sneak his way into the starting rotation early this season. And based on what former Georgia superstar David Pollack recently shared, it would be surprising if he didn't.
