IB SA as a Sophomore?

Freshman at a semi-target. I've been networking pretty aggressively for a few months now and I just had a thought:

I have enough credits to graduate a year early, so could I start networking and applying for IB junior SA internships now (because I could graduate in two years) and then go through the process again sophomore year if I don't get any looks?

I understand this would be difficult given my relative lack of experience, but is this looked down upon?

Would appreciate any input.
