Over the course of the next 10 weeks, as we continue to preview the 2013 football season, we will be bringing you a list of 10 prominent storylines to keep an eye on for the 2013 football season. Today we start with #10, the 23 newcomers.

| Nick Newman |
The class of 23 incoming freshman is the largest for the program since 2006. Anytime a team brings in this many recruits, they’re going to be a storyline to watch throughout the season. How many redshirt? How many contribute?
This class consist of seven 2-star recruits according to Rivals: WR Zac Parker, QB Stephon Masha, ATH Nick Newman, WR Justin Fritts, S Gary Sampson, RB Toddrick Macon, & RB Joshua Smith. The biggest stud of this group could end up being Nick Newman. Expect Newman to end up as either a linebacker or safety on the defense where the 6”4″ 210 lb athlete should do plenty of damage.
