TOP 5 POSITIONAL PROSPECTS
QUARTERBACKS
| 1. | SPENCER RATTLER | OKLAHOMA |
| 2. | CARSON STRONG | NEVADA |
| 3. | SAM HOWELL | UNC |
| 4. | MALIK WILLIS | LIBERTY |
| 5. | KEDON SLOVIS | USC |
RUNNING BACKS
| 1. | BREECE HALL | IOWA STATE |
| 2. | KYREN WILLIAMS | NOTRE DAME |
| 3. | ERIC GRAY | OKLAHOMA |
| 4. | ISAIAH SPILLER | TEXAS A&M |
| 5. | JERRION EALY | OLE MISS |
Honourable mention goes to Ainias Smith, Texas A&M, who is a running back/wide receiver hybrid. He just misses out and doesn’t quite squeeze into our rankings.
WIDE RECEIVERS
| 1. | GARRETT WILSON | OHIO STATE |
| 2. | TREYLON BURKS | ARKANSAS |
| 3. | CHRIS OLAVE | OHIO STATE |
| 4. | ZAY FLOWERS | BOSTON COLLEGE |
| 5. | ROMEO DOUBS | NEVADA |
2 honourable mentions here. The first goes to John Metchie, Alabama. We really like his all round game and he could well find himself in our top 5s at the end of the season. The second goes to George Pickens, Georgia. Pickens has suffered an ACL tear during the preseason and will miss the majority, if not all of the season. If it was not for the injury, Pickens would have made our preseason top prospects and would be towards the top of the list.
TIGHT ENDS
| 1. | JAHLEEL BILLINGSLEY | ALABAMA |
| 2. | JALEN WYDERMYER | TEXAS A&M |
| 3. | AUSTIN STOGNER | OKLAHOMA |

| 5. | CADE OTTON | WASHINGTON |
OFFENSIVE TACKLES
| 1. | EVAN NEAL | ALABAMA |
| 2. | JAXSON KIRKLAND | WASHINGTON |
| 3. | CHARLES CROSS | MISSISSIPPI ST |
| 4. | SEAN RHYAN | UCLA |
| 5. | ZION NELSON | MIAMI |
Honourable mentions this time go to 2 big guys. Daniel Faalele, Minnesota and Trevor Penning, Northern Iowa. Both prospects could have huge years and see their draft stock increase. With a big year you could be hearing a lot more about both of these huge specimens.
INTERIOR OFFENSIVE LINE
| 1. | TYLER LINDERBAUM | IOWA |
| 2. | KENYON GREEN | TEXAS A&M |
| 3. | JARRETT PATTERSON | NOTRE DAME |
