Examples of FRESHMAN in a Sentence
There are a lot of words that have ‘men’ in them, i don’t know, there’s a lot more TCU can do, to do inclusion, than just change the word ‘freshman.’.
Eason wrote in a social mediapost announcing his decision. Eason was a five-star recruit out of nearby Lake Stevens, Washington, who opted to go across the country to play at Georgia. He started as a freshman for the Bulldogs but lost the job to Jake Fromm during his sophomore season after suffering an injury in the season opener. Eason sat out the 2018 season after transferring to Washington and beat out Jake Haener for the starting job during fall camp. Eason completed 64.2% of his passes and had standout games early in the season against Eastern Washington, BYU and Arizona. His best game may have come in a loss to Oregon, in which Eason was 23 of 30 for 289 yards and three touchdowns. Eason has the prototypes of an NFL quarterback, standing 6-foot-5 with one of the strongest arms in college. But issues with consistency popped up during his collegiate career. We wish Jacob nothing but the best.

But definitely be open to questions and help the growth and development of a younger quarterback, yeah.
I feel like if I could weigh the value of leaving after my freshman year and playing in the NBA, now, I feel like this is definitely more valuable, just having a legacy and having a home and somewhere you’re going to be remembered forever.
