Draft 2027 College Preview: Week 6

Texas vs. Oklahoma; Saturday, Oct. 10, 3:30 PM 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
• S Jelani McDonald, No. 4

Oklahoma

• QB John Mateer, No. 10
• WR Trell Harris, No. 11
• WR Parker Livingstone, No. 3
• WR Isaiah Sategna, No. 11
• DE Adepoju Adebawore, No. 34
• DT David Stone, No. 0
• CB Eli Bowen, No. 23
• S Peyton Bowen, No. 22




The Matchups:

The Red River Rivalry features two quarterback prospects in Manning and Mateer. Both of them could use an impressive tape in this high-pressure game to help their draft grades. Simmons is a first-round prospect who will get tested by the dual-threat Mateer. McDonald could be a first-round pick, and he could be tested by Coleman, who could be a top-20 pick next April.








USC vs. Penn State; Oct. 10, 7:30 PM ET NBC

The Prospects:

USC

• 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

Penn State

• QB Rocco Becht, No. 3
• WR Chase Sowell, No. 0
• WR Brett Eskildsen, No. 4
• RB Carson Hansen, No. 21
• LB Kooper Ebel, No. 8
• LB Tony Rojas, No. 13
• DT Keanu Williams, No. 99
• DT Nnodim Armstrong, No. 91




The Matchups:

Maiava and Becht could be mid-round quarterback prospects with the potential to rise. Rojas was impressive in 2024 before getting hurt in 2025. He needs to be healthy and productive to rehab his draft stock.








UCLA vs. Oregon; Oct. 10, 3:30 PM ET CBS

The Prospects:

UCLA

• QB Nico Iamaleava, No. 9
• OT Garrett DiGiorgio, No. 72

Oregon

• QB Dante Moore, No. 5
• WR Evan Stewart, No. 7
• C Iapani Laloulu, No. 72
• DE Matayo Uiagalelei, No. 10
• DT Bear Alexander, No. 1
• DT A’Mauri Washington, No. 52
• OLB Teitum Tuioti, No. 44
• LB Devon Jackson, No. 9
• S Koi Perich, No. 3





The Matchups:

The status of Moore is in question after he suffered a vicious concussion against USC. Even if Moore is out, this will be a good draft evaluation game, with Iamaleava taking on an Oregon defense that has a defensive line comprised of future NFL players. The Ducks defensive front has flashed this year, and could use more consistent and productive performances to help their draft grade.

Georgia vs. Alabama; Oct. 10, 7:30 PM ET ABC

The Prospects:

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

Alabama

• OLB Yhonzae Pierre, No. 0
• LB Caleb Woodson, No. 7
• CB Zabien Brown, No. 2
• SS Keon Sabb, No. 3
• FS Bray Hubbard, No. 18
• WR Ryan Coleman-Williams, No. 1
• OT Jayvin James , No. 54
• C Racin Delgatty, No. 55





The Matchups:

There is a lot of NFL defensive talent on display in this rivalry game. The best draft matchup is Coleman-Williams taking on Robinson and Bolden. Georgia has young talent to test the Alabama secondary. Greene had a disappointing 2025 season, so he could use a good tape going against a potential first-rounder in Pierre.
