College Draft Matchup Preview – Week 15

Carson Beck - Scouting Report Featured Image


Iowa State vs. Arizona State; Saturday, Dec. 7, 12:00 PM ET ABC

The Prospects:

Iowa State
  • WR Jayden Higgins, No. 9
  • DE Kenard Synder, No. 8
  • CB Darien Porter, No. 10
Arizona State
  • RB Cam Skattebo, No. 4
  • CB Shamari Simmons, No. 7


The Matchups:

Cam Skattebo has been on a tear to end the season showing running and receiving ability. Skattebo has been dominant, and team sources view him more as a mid-round or day-three pick. Higgins and Porter have played well for Iowa State and earned invitations to the Senior Bowl.


Texas vs. Georgia; Saturday, Dec. 7, 4:00 PM ET ABC

The Prospects:

Texas
  • QB Quinn Ewers, No. 3
  • LT Kelvin Banks, No. 78
  • WR Isaiah Bond, No. 7
  • DE Ethan Burke, No. 91
  • DT Alfred Collins, No. 95
  • S Andrew Mukuba, No. 4
    • Georgia
      • QB Carson Beck, No. 15
      • RB Trevor Etienne, No. 1
      • TE Oscar Delp, No. 4
      • WR Dillon Bell, No. 86
      • WR Arian Smith, No. 11
      • G Tate Ratledge, No. 69
      • OT Earnest Greene III, No. 71
      • OT Xavier Truss, No. 73
      • DE Mykel Williams, No. 13
      • DT Nazir Stackhouse, No. 78
      • DT Warren Brinson, No. 97
      • OLB Jalon Walker, No. 11
      • LB Smael Mondon Jr., No. 2
      • CB Daylen Everette , No. 6
      • S Malaki Starks, No. 24


      The Matchups:

      Ewers and Beck are both pro prospects that have had some superb games this year but they also showed a lack of poise and turnover issues when they get rattled. Both quarterbacks need to show pro evaluators that they can remain calm and on point despite high-pressure environments. The Georgia defensive line manhandled Texas in the regular season matchup, and Banks was injured against Texas A&M. It would be great to see how Banks does in a rematch against Walker and Williams.



      Penn State vs. Oregon; Saturday, Dec. 7, 8:00 PM ET CBS

      The Prospects:

      Penn State
      • QB Drew Allar, No. 15
      • RB Nicholas Singleton, No. 10
      • TE Tyler Warren, No. 44
      • DE Abdul Carter, No. 11
      • DE Dani Dennis-Sutton, No. 33
        • Oregon
          • QB Dillon Gabriel, No. 8
          • LT Josh Conerly Jr., No. 76
          • RT Ajani Cornelius, No. 65
          • WR Evan Stewart, No. 7
          • DT Jordan Burch, No. 1
          • CB Jabbar Muhammad, No. 7


          The Matchups:

          Jordan Burch and Josh Conerly are early-round picks for the 2025 NFL Draft. They have played well this season, and this tape could help their draft grade. Conerly will see a superb test from the Penn State edge rushers, and Carter looks like a top-20 pick next April. If he dominates Conerly and Oregon, it could help Carter’s chances of rising into the top-10.
