With his combination of size, speed, and power, it’s difficult to look past Baxter as the top impact true freshman RB in the 2023 class. Between skill set and opportunity, all the ingredients are there for the 6’1″, 215-pound running back to cook up something special in Steve Sarkisian’s offense.
However, the beauty of this 2023 RB class is that most of the players at the top of the class could make a significant impact early on in their college football careers.
While their opportunities might not be the same as some of the players listed above, Jeremiyah Love (Notre Dame), Mark Fletcher (Miami, FL), Kaleb Jackson (LSU), and Roderick Robinson II (Georgia) are all top-15 players at the position who might be expected to have some contribution during the 2023 college football campaign.
