Hi, 

We can't tell exactly what species but given the timing and placement in the yard could they be suckers from roots of a recent tree that has been removed? 

Maybe a Mulberry Tree? If so, they cat sprout off of old roots and also seed around prolifically and if squirrels or bords drop the berries they can sprout. 

You can clip repeatedly to remove, mow when small enough and not too woody, or use a systemic herbicide product to help to keep them at bay.
