The 2022 Freshman All-Bowl Team 

Bowl games serve all kinds of purposes for programs and their coaching staffs.

For many, either by design or out of necessity, it’s a chance to get a better look at the youngest players on the roster. This is why so many underclassmen see their most reps in December.

It’s been a particularly good postseason for rookies, none better than the true and redshirt freshmen below.

Freshman Offensive Player of the Bowls
WR Squirrel White, Tennessee

The explosive White looks like the next big thing out of the slot for Josh Heupel and the Volunteers.

He stepped up after Jalin Hyatt opted out of the Orange Bowl, catching a season-high nine balls for 108 yards and a TD in a 31-14 win over Clemson

Freshman Defensive Player of the Bowls 
LB Chris Paul, Arkansas
The Razorbacks were without both starting linebackers, Drew Sanders and Bumper Pool, in the Liberty Bowl which created a huge opportunity for Paul to show why he’s the future at the position.

The 6-1, 230-pound thumper had a game-high 12 stops, three hurries and no missed tackles in an OT thriller over Kansas.
