Texas

  • WR Evan Stewart, No. 7
  • DT Jordan Burch, No. 1
  • CB Jabbar Muhammad, No. 7


The Matchups:

This game features an excellent draft matchup, with the Oregon offensive line taking on the Ohio State front seven. This tape will be very important for Ducks left tackle Conerly, right tackle Cornelius, Buckeyes defensive end Tuimoloau, and end Sawyer. The inside of the line will also be worth watching, as the Ducks have some young talent, and they will see a pair of tough tackles with Williams and Hamilton.



Ole Miss vs. LSU; Saturday, Oct. 12, 7:30 PM ET ESPN

The Prospects:

Ole Miss
  • QB Jaxson Dart, No. 2
  • WR Juice Wells Jr., No. 3
  • DT Walter Nolen, No. 2
  • DE Princely Umanmielen, No. 1
  • LB Khari Coleman, No. 23
  • CB Trey Amos, No. 9
  • CB Isaiah Hamilton, No. 3
  • CB Louis Moore, No. 7
LSU
  • LT Will Campbell, No. 66
  • RT Emery Jones Jr., No. 50
  • RB Josh Williams, No. 27
  • TE Mason Taylor, No. 86
  • WR Aaron Anderson, No. 1
  • WR Kyren Lacy, No. 2
  • DE Sai’vion Jones, No. 35
  • LB Harold Perkins Jr., No. 4


The Matchups:

This game has an excellent draft matchup with two talented Rebel defensive linemen going against the Tiger tackle tandem. Princely Umanmielen and Walter Nolen could be early-rounders who could use impressive showings versus LSU. Will Campbell and Emery Jones Jr. could be first-round picks next April, and their draft grades will benefit from shutting down the Rebel tandem. Another excellent matchup could happen if Rebels cornerback Trey Amos lines up against LSU wide receiver Kyren Lacy. It will be interesting to see if one of them gets the better of the other.
