Charlie Campbell
Florida vs. Kentucky; Nov. 14, 6:15, PM ET ESPN
The Prospects:
Florida
- RB Jadan Baugh, No. 13
- WR Eric Singleton Jr., No. 2
- LB Myles Graham, No. 5
- DE Kamran James, No. 24
- DE Emmanuel Oyebadejo, No. 99
- S Bryce Thornton, No. 1
Kentucky
- WR Nic Anderson, No. 4
- QB Kenny Minchey, No. 3
- OT Lance Heard, No. 53
- DE Mi’Quise Humphrey-Grace, No. 90
- DT Tavion Gadson, No. 94
- S Jordan Castell, No. 5
The Matchups:
The Kentucky defense has some quality prospects for the 2027 NFL Draft and they are going to be tested by a future NFL starting running back in Baugh. The former Gator Castell is having a superb season for Kentucky, and he is really helping his draft stock. Oyebadejo looks like a future first- or second-round pick, and he is rising for the draft.
Texas vs. LSU; Oct. 24, 7:30 PM ET ABC
The Prospects:
Texas
- QB Arch Manning, No. 16
- WR Cam Coleman, No. 8
- WR Ryan Wingo, No. 1
- RB Hollywood Smothers, No. 2
- G Brandon Baker, No. 73
- OLB Colin Simmons, No. 1
- CB Bo Mascoe, No. 5
- S Jelani McDonald, No. 4
LSU
- QB Sam Leavitt, No. 10
- WR Jayce Brown, No. 1
- WR Jackson Harris, No. 4
- OT Jordan Seaton, No. 77
- TE Trey’Dez Green, No. 7
- DE Princewill Umanmielen, No. 1
- LB Whit Weeks, No. 40
- CB P.J. Woodland, No. 11
- FS Ty Benefield, No. 2
The Matchups:
There is the potential for a great draft matchup in this game with Seaton taking on Simmons. They both look like they could go top-20 next April, but Simmons has been dealing with an injury, so his status could change during game week. There are a pair of early-round safety prospects in this game with McDonald and Benefield. McDonald needs to produce and play up to his skill set. Benefield is having a nice season for LSU. Both of them could be day-two picks in the 2027 NFL Draft.
This game also features two early-round quarterback prospects in Manning and Leavitt, but they both have had uneven seasons as passers and need development for the NFL. Hence, both of them could go back to school and develop for the 2028 NFL Draft.
Missouri vs. Georgia; Saturday, Nov. 14, 3:30 PM ABC
The Prospects:
Missouri
- QB Austin Simmons, No. 13
- WR Cayden Lee, No. 19
- CB Chris Graves Jr., No. 1
Georgia
- FS K.J. Bolden, No. 4
- CB Eillis Robinson IV, No. 1
- LB Raylen Wilson, No. 5
- DE Gabe Harris Jr., No. 0
- LB Chris Cole, No. 9
- QB Gunner Stockton, No. 14
- OT Earnest Greene, No. 71
- QB Jayden Maiava, No. 14
- RB Waymond Jordan, No. 2
- G Alani Noa, No. 77
- LT Elijah Page, No. 72
- DE Kameryn Crawford, No. 1
- DT Jide Abasiri, No. 97
- WR Charlie Becker, No. 80
- WR Nick Marsh, No. 11
- QB Josh Hoover, No. 10
- RB Turbo Richardt, No. 1
- RB Lee Beebe Jr., No. 29
- LT Carter Smith, No. 65
- DE Josh Burnham, No. 8
- DT Tyrique Tucker, No. 95
- CB Jamari Sharpe, No.22
- CB A.J. Harris, No. 4
- FS Amare Ferrell, No. 1
- SS Preston Zachman, No. 6
The Matchups:
Georgia has a tough defense that is going to be a good test for Simmons. Simmons has an early-round skill set but he could use refinement. He has re-signed with Missouri, but he could still decide to enter the draft. The Bulldogs have potential first-round picks with Cole, Bolden, and Robinson who will be tough tests for Simmons.
USC vs. Indiana; Nov. 14, 3:30 PM ET CBS
The Prospects:
USC
Indiana
The Matchups:
There is some media buzz about Maiava being a potential late first- or second-round prospect. Entering the season, the NFL advance scouts and some team sources said they had Maiava as a mid-round backup, but he could rise given the demand for young quarterbacks in the NFL. Maiava will see some quality secondary talent with Indiana, and Ferrell is a ballhawk. The Hoosiers have a pair of first-round talents at wide receiver with Becker and Marsh. Smith has been a quality left tackle for the Hoosiers and looks like at least a second-round pick next April.
