Friday Feature #27: David Bailey
Bailey was one of the highest-profile players to transfer last year, moving from the ACC to the Big 12 to join Texas Tech. And man, did it work out for the former 4-star recruit. The former Red Raider is one of the best players in the 2026 class, regardless of position and showed out as an athlete at the Combine, further boosting his stock.
Friday Feature #26: Colton Hood
Colton Hood has emerged as a top corner prospect from the Volunteers after previous stops at both Auburn and Colorado. He flashes ball skills and range, but really, it's his ability in coverage that has scouts wondering if he can hold up as a press-man corner on an island. Wth only one year of starting experience, he is a bit of a gamble.
Friday Feature #25: Olaivavega Ioane
Drew Allar, Kaytron Allen, Nicholas Singleton and Dani Dennis-Sutton should all hear their names called by the beginning of Day 3 when April rolls around. But none of them will have the honour of being the highest drafted Nittany Lion in the 2026 NFL Draft. That falls to the dominating Olaivavega Ioane, who has put together an exceptional 3-year run at the heart of the Penn State offense.
Friday Feature #24: Peter Woods
Woods has the size, strength and quickness to be considered among the elite in the 2026 class. He does have a bit of a tweener frame dating back to his high school, and hasn't fully settled on a role and position yet. But Woods is potentially the best defensive lineman in this class, which lacks a real standout player. Woods should hear his name called inside the Top 25 of the draft.
Friday Feature #23: Kadyn Proctor
Proctor has lived up to the hype as a former 5-star recruit. Despite briefly leaving Alabama for Iowa, he has been Mr. Consistent, protecting the blindside of both Jalen Milroe and Ty Simpson. The Iowa native is now set to enter the draft and could be one of the top 3 tackles selected.
Friday Feature #22: Jordyn Tyson
Tyson’s season was slightly derailed by injury, but when he’s on the field, he is one of the best WRs in college football. A breakout in 2024 elevated his draft stock after an up-and-down time to that point. Now, Tyson has the chance to be the first WR drafted in April.
Friday Feature #21: Anthony Hill Jr.
Hill entered college as a five-star recruit and immediately lived up to the hype, starting immediately as a true freshman. He did it all in 2024, looking set to be a 1st-round lock at a position not always placed in the Top 32. However, an up-and-down 2025 has people questioning the Texas LB’s NFL stock; however, he certainly has all the tools to succeed at the next level.
Friday Feature #19: Nicholas Singleton
Singleton has been part of one of the best 1-2 punches at RB for the Nittany Lions over the last 3 seasons, with both backs returning in 2025 to try and lift Penn State to a conference championship and another deep CFP run. It didn't quite go according to plan; however, both Singleton and Kaytron Allen are heading to the Senior Bowl as intriguing pro prospects.
Friday Feature #18: Seydou Traore
Seydou Traore is one of the more interesting prospects in the 2026 NFL Draft class. A native of London, England, he moved to the US seeking an opportunity to play Division 1 college football and to pursue a career in the NFL. Now a Shrine Bowl participant, that dream could only be a few months away from being actualised.
Friday Feature #17: Ty Simpson
Ty Simpson is off to the NFL draft after a more-than-solid season at Alabama, despite a disappointing end for the Tide. He won the starting job after being a longtime backup and enters the draft, supposedly getting 1st-round grades.
Friday Feature #16: Antonio Williams
Williams has had his injury issues at Clemson, but has been very productive when healthy. He is quick in short bursts, with good hands and has been a real safety blanket for Klubnik during his Clemson career.
Friday Feature #15: Kamari Ramsey
Kamari Ramsey has been part of a strong secondary for the Trojans in 2025, forming a solid partnership with Bishop Fitzgerald. Ramsey plays all over the field and could be a versatile chess piece for a Defensive Coordinator at the next level.
Friday Feature #14: Bray Hubbard
Bray Hubbard burst onto the scene in 2024, replacing Keon Sabb and hasn't looked back. He has made some big plays across his Alabama career and could be a big player for the Tide as they embark on a College Football Playoff run.
Friday Feature #13: LJ Martin
Martin has been the best back in the Big 12 and one of the best in the country. With him joining Senior day activities, it appears likely he will declare for the 2026 Draft. Assuming he does, he could vault up draft boards in what is a wide-open class.
Friday Feature #12: Kenyon Sadiq
Kenyon Sadiq has broken out in a big way as the TE1 for the Oregon Ducks, including dominating performances vs Minnesota and USC back-to-back in November. He has rare ability after the catch for a TE, with explosiveness and initial quickness that rivals even the top receivers in the class.
Friday Feature #11: Dante Moore
Dante Moore has catapulted his draft stock since he got the start at Oregon. He redshirted last year behind Dillon Gabriel and has taken his chance as the Ducks’ starting QB. With more consistent performances, if he declares, he may become the favourite to be the #1 overall pick.
Friday Feature #9: Cole Wisniewski
Wisniewski is the secondary leader for the Red Raiders after transferring from North Dakota State before the season. He has a nose for the football and could have a real impact early in the NFL as a special teams player.
Friday Feature #8: Caleb Lomu
Lomu earned the starting LT job for Utah ahead of the 2024 season and hasn’t looked back. Some shaky moments vs Texas Tech earlier in 2025 don’t mask his presence as one of the best offensive linemen eligible for the 2026 NFL Draft.
Friday Feature #7: Ja’Kobi Lane
Lane was a handful vs Notre Dame and has been pretty much since stepping on campus for the Trojans. His tape reveals a sleeper prospect who could be set to rise up draft boards sooner rather than later.
Friday Feature #5: Christen Miller
Miller had his best outing of the year in the road win at Auburn and has been named to the 2025 Rotary Lombardi Award Midseason Watch List for his play. His tape reveals a strong interior defensive lineman prospect with a chance to rise in the draft process.
