While looking at the Pac-10 impact freshmen category, it would have been simple enough to take the top 5 or so USC recruits and simply list them below. But, obviously that's the easy way out. While USC has the two best frosh to hit the field for '07, there actually are other programs with young talent that will be on display this fall. Without further delay, check out FanHouse's view of the top impact freshmen of the upcoming season:

1. Joe McKnight, RB, USC |
A lightning-fast recruit plucked from Louisiana, and much to the angst of the LSU faithful, McKnight is everything you'd want out of a young star at tailback. Excellent speed, outstanding moves, great vision to avoid would-be tacklers and even some power to go along with everything else, McKnight is the complete package. Some have compared him to a young Reggie Bush, but that might be a little premature. The college football world will be watching when he takes the stage in the season opener vs. Idaho. The fastest new recruit to come into the Pac-10, McKnight is the top impact frosh in the conference for 2007.
