Indiana vs. Ohio State; Saturday, Nov. 23, 12:00 PM ET FOX

The Prospects:

Indiana
  • WR Elijah Sarratt, No. 13
  • RB Justice Ellison, No. 6
  • QB Kurtis Rourke, No. 9
  • OT Trey Wedig, No. 75
  • DE Mikail Kamara, No. 6
  • LB Aiden Fisher, No. 4
Ohio State
  • WR Emeka Egbuka, No. 2
  • WR Carnell Tate, No. 17
  • RB TreVeyon Henderson, No. 32
  • RB Quinshon Judkins, No. 1
  • C Seth McLaughlin, No. 56
  • G Donovan Jackson, No. 74
  • QB Will Howard, No. 18
  • DE Jack Sawyer, No. 33
  • DE J.T. Tuimoloau, No. 44
  • DT Tyleik Williams, No. 91
  • DT Ty Hamilton, No. 58
  • LB Cody Simon, No. 0
  • LB Sonny Styles, No. 6
  • CB Jordan Hancock, No. 7
  • CB Denzel Burke, No. 10
  • S Lathan Ransom, No. 8

 

The Matchups:

The Indiana Hoosiers have been the surprise team in college football this year and it will be fascinating to see how they handle their toughest test in Ohio State. The Buckeyes have a lot of early-round talent. Quinshon Judkins, Tyleik Williams, Donovan Jackson, and Emeka Egbuka look like first- or second-round picks next April. Kamara could be the top prospect on the Hoosiers and Ohio State lost starting left tackle Josh Simmons for the season. Indiana needs a big game out of Kamara.

 
 


Kentucky vs. Texas; Saturday, Nov. 23, 3:30 PM ET ABC

The Prospects:

Kentucky
    • DT Deone Walker, No. 0
    • LB Jamon Dumas-Johnson, No. 2
    • LB D’Eryk Jackson, No. 54
    • CB Maxwell Hairston, No. 1
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

 

The Matchups:

Kentucky’s defense has talent, and they almost upset Georgia thanks to the Wildcats shutting down the Bulldogs offense. Thus, it will be interesting to see how Ewers plays against them and how Ewers holds up if it becomes a highly pressurized game. Some team sources have concerns about Ewers poise and composure. Walker has had a disappointing season and he needs some games of domination to help his draft stock to close out this year.

 

 

Missouri vs. South Carolina; Saturday, Nov. 16, 4:15 PM ET SEC

The Prospects:

Missouri
        • WR Luther Burden III, No. 3
        • OT Marcus Bryant, No. 52
        • DE Zion Young, No. 9
South Carolina
        • DT T.J. Sanders, No. 90
        • DT DeAndre Jules, No. 99
        • S Nick Emmanwori, No. 7

 

The Matchups:

There is the potential for a good draft matchup in this game with Emmanwori potentially helping on double coverage against Burden. Both Emmanwori and Burden could be instant starters at the NFL level as they are very talented players with dynamic pro skill sets.

 

 


 
 

Alabama vs. Oklahoma; Saturday, Nov. 23, 7:30 PM ET ABC

The Prospects:

Alabama
        • QB Jalen Milroe, No. 4
        • C Parker Brailsford, No. 72
        • G Tyler Booker, No. 52
        • WR Kobe Prentice, No. 6
        • WR Kendrick Law, No. 1
        • WR Germie Bernard, No. 5
        • DT Tim Smith, No. 50
        • DT Tim Keenan III, No. 96
        • LB Jihaad Campbell, No. 11
        • LB Deonte Lawson, No. 0
        • S Malachi Moore, No. 13
        • CB Devonta Smith, No. 8
Oklahoma
        • WR Deion Burks, No. 6
        • OT Michael Tarquin, No. 70
        • OT Spencer Brown, No. 58
        • LB Danny Stutsman, No. 28
        • S Billy Bowman Jr., No. 2

 

The Matchups:

Milroe has carried Alabama with his legs and big play running ability to go along with a dangerous arm that can burn defenses deep downfield. Oklahoma has a couple of good defenders to test him in Stutsman and Bowman. Both of them could be day-two picks next April with a knack for making big plays.
