 Tee Higgins chimed in with his picks for the most impressive freshman college football seasons he's ever seen. 

The Clemson product rolled with his old quarterback Trevor Lawrence and current Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith as his choices. Lawrence helped lead Higgins and the 2018 Tigers to the national title and threw 30 touchdowns to just four interceptions along the way (ACC-leading 157.8 passer rating).

Then, this past season, Smith posted a whopping 1,315 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns as his Buckeyes won the 2026 National Championship Game. Smith led the Big 10 in receiving yards and scores.
