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 #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.
