BYU
  • OT Isaiah Jatta, No. 71
  • RB L.J. Martin, No. 4
Texas Tech
  • DE David Bailey, No. 31
  • WR Caleb Douglas, No. 5
  • QB Behren Morton, No. 2


  • The Matchups:

    There is an interesting matchup in this game with Jatta taking on Bailey. If Jatta can block Bailey, that would really help him. Bailey has been a dynamic pass rusher this season and is very dangerous. He could be selected in the first round.

    Alabama
    • QB Ty Simpson, No. 15
    • C Parker Brailsford, No. 72
    • RB Jam Miller, No. 26
    • RB Dre Washington, No. 20
    • WR Germie Bernard, No. 5
    • WR Isaiah Horton, No. 1
    • TE Josh Cuevas, No. 80
    • LT Kadyn Proctor, No. 74

    • LB Justin Jefferson, No. 10
    • LB Deonte Lawson, No. 0
    • S Keon Sabb, No. 3
    • CB Domani Jackson, No. 1
    • S Bray Hubbard, No. 18
    Georgia
    • TE Oscar Delp, No. 4
    • TE Lawson Luckie, No. 7
    • WR Dillon Bell, No. 86
    • WR Noah Thomas, No. 5
    • WR Zachariah Branch, No. 1
    • WR Colbie Young, No. 8
    • CB Daylen Everette , No. 6
    • G Micah Morris, No. 56
    • OT Earnest Greene III, No. 71
    • P Brett Thorson, No. 71
    • RB Cash Jones, No. 32


    The Matchups:

    This game will be a big test for Simpson. He beat Georgia early in the season and was red hot over a number of games, leading Alabama to wins over tough opponents like Missouri, Vanderbilt, and Tennessee. However, Simpson did not play as well in the past few weeks against Oklahoma, and he could use a big game against Georgia to help his draft grade. There will be good draft matchups all over the field in this game.



    Ohio State vs. Indiana; Nov. 29, 8:00 PM ET FOX

    The Prospects:

    Ohio State
    • WR Brandon Inniss, No. 1
    • WR Carnell Tate, No. 17
    • TE Max Klare, No. 86
    • OT Austin Siereveld, No. 67
    • OT Phillip Daniels, No. 70
    • DE Kenyatta Jackson, No. 97
    • DT Kayden McDonald, No. 98
    • DE Beau Atkinson, No. 14
    • LB Sonny Styles, No. 0
    • LB Arvell Reese, No. 8
    • CB Jermaine Mathews Jr., No. 7
    • CB Davison Igbinosun, No. 1
    • S Caleb Downs, No. 2
    Indiana
    • QB Fernando Mendoza, No. 15
    • WR Elijah Sarratt, No. 13
    • DE Mikail Kamara, No. 6
    • LB Aiden Fisher, No. 4
    • G Kahlil Benson, No. 67


    The Matchups:

    Mendoza has dominated this year, but he has not had to go against a lot of tough opponents. That will change against Ohio State as Mendoza will see a defense loaded with NFL talent. Arvell Reese, Caleb Downs, and Kayden McDonald could all be first-round picks next April. Other players like Sonny Styles and Kenyatta Jackson are early-rounders as well. It will be a great test for Mendoza and for the Ohio State defenders, as Indiana is phenomenal at scheming up defenses, and Mendoza is a future pro starter.
