Top-5 Prospects:
1.
Abdul Carter, LB, Penn State.
Previously: 1 Avg. 21.1 per 16
12/18/24: In 2024, Carter has 60 tackles with 10 sacks, two forced fumbles, and three passes broken up. Carter notched 49 tackles, 4.5 sacks, five passes defended, and one interception in 2023. In 2022, he made his presence felt as a freshman with 56 tackles, 6.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, and four passes defended. The 6-foot-3, 260-pounder has quickness and upside to develop. He is a fast edge rusher with the ability to bend around the edge, but Carter has some issues in run defense that are unavoidable given his size as a full-time edge rusher. However, Carter also is a dynamic athlete that can play some Mike linebacker and Sam linebacker. He is very versatile with how he can be used and Carter has amazing speed and pursuit skills. In the NFL, he could be an edge rusher that has a similar style of play to Micah Parsons.

Previously: 2 Avg. 2.2 per 16
12/18/24: In 2024, Hunter has 92 receptions for 1,152 yards with 14 touchdowns receiving and one rushing. He has 31 tackles with four interceptions, 11 passes broken up, and a forced fumble on defense. Hunter dominated against North Dakota State, Baylor, UCF, and Oklahoma State. He allowed one receiving touchdown against Utah. Hunter is playing with a shoulder injury, and teams also have some medical concerns after Hunter had injuries the previous two seasons.

08/27/24: Coming out of high school, Hunter was one of the top recruits in the nation, and he shocked the college football world when he signed on with Jackson State and head coach Deon Sanders. In his freshman season, Hunter had 18 catches for 190 yards and four touchdowns on offense. At cornerback, he had 19 tackles, two interceptions, and eight passes broken up. After that season, Hunter transferred to Colorado, following Sanders to the Buffalos. In 2023, he was a two-way star while playing through injuries. He caught 57 passes for 721 yards and five touchdowns. On defense, he had 31 tackles with five passes broken up and three interceptions. There is a lot of debate in scouting circles entering the 2024 season about whether Hunter should play wide receiver or cornerback in the NFL.

3.
James Pearce Jr., DE, Tennessee.
Previously: 3 Avg. 7.8 per 16
12/18/24: Pearce has 35 tackles, 7.5 sacks, one forced fumble, and one pass batted. He has applied more pressure than the numbers illustrate, and his run defense looks improved this season. Team sources like Pearce even though he is not a finished product yet. Some team sources compare Pearce to Brian Burns coming out of Florida State.
08/27/24: Pearce was a big-time presence for the Volunteers in 2023, making a lot of splash plays and producing a lot of pressure on the quarterback. He totaled 27 tackles with 9.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, and an interception. Pearce is listed at 6-foot-5, 242 pounds, but that could be inflated. If those numbers are exaggerated, as often is the case, Pearce could fit as an outside linebacker and edge rusher in a 3-4 defense. His run defense needs to improve for the NFL. Pearce would need to gain weight and get stronger to be an every-down defensive end in a 4-3 scheme.

Previously: 5 Avg. 3.3 per 7
12/18/24: In 2024, McMillan had 84 receptions for 1,319 yards and eight touchdowns. He suffered a foot injury and is out indefinitely.

Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan.
Previously: 8 Avg. 18 per 16
12/18/24: In 2024, Grant has 32 tackles, three sacks, and five passes batted. It took time for Grant to work his way onto the field behind Kris Jenkins. However, Grant really flashed as a sophomore. In 2023, Grant put up 29 tackles, four passes batted, 3.5 sacks, and an interception in backup duty. The 6-foot-3, 339-pounder has a rare combination of speed, athleticism, and strength. Grant has top-notch ability with a surprising ability to bend his big body. He can play strong when he wants or needs to, and Grant is fast with the ability to run plays down. Grant has a ton of upside, and he is not as dominant as he can be. He could be a better pro than college player, and Grant looks like a top half of the first-round talent for the 2025 NFL Draft.

Tyler Booker, G, Alabama.
Previously: 13 Avg. 17.5 per 11
12/18/24: Booker has been superb this season for the Crimson Tide. Booker dominated against LSU helping Jalen Milroe produce four rushing touchdowns. All season, Booker has been stonewalling bull rushes, tying up speed rushers, and getting movement at the point of attack in the ground game. The powerful Booker can get a serious push at the point of attack with brute physicality and power. He is a people mover in the ground game and looks like a plug-and-play starter at guard in the NFL. Booker could be a first- or second-round pick next April.

The 6-foot-6, 295-pounder has good height, length, quickness, and athleticism. In 2023, he had 34 tackles with three sacks. The previous season he had 60 tackles with 3.5 sacks.

In 2022, he recorded 69 tackles, two interceptions and seven passes broken up. In 2023, Starks collected 52 tackles, three interceptions, and seven passes defended. He was rock-steady for the Bulldogs and looks ready for the NFL.

Mike Green, DE, Marshall.
Previously: 18 Avg. 17.6 per 5
12/18/24: Green has been a monster for the Thundering Herd this season, with a ton of big plays for the Marshall defense. Thus far in 2024, Green has 17 sacks with three forced fumbles, 81 tackles, and two passes batted. The 6-foot-4, 248-pounder has serious speed and explosion off the edge.

12/18/24: Perkins had 16 tackles in 2024. In Week 4, Perkins tore an ACL and is out for the season.
08/27/24: Perkins is the size of a traditional outside linebacker, but he is a lightning-fast playmaker who was all over the field for LSU as a freshman in 2022 and 2023. He was a dynamic edge rusher who showed natural blitzing ability. In 2022, he totaled 72 tackles, 7.5 sacks, three forced fumbles, one interception and four passes batted. In 2023, Perkins recorded 7.5 sacks, three forced fumbles, 74 tackles, and four passes batted. He even impressed dropping into coverage, although rushing the passer is what he does best in pass defense. Perkins possesses a unique body type and is undersized as an edge defender, but there is no doubt about his explosive speed and tremendous instincts. In the NFL, Perkins could be a hybrid defender who rushes off the edge, similar to Micah Parsons or Von Miller, and also can play outside linebacker.

Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama.
Previously: 23 Avg. 29.3 per 6
12/18/24: The 6-foot-3, 244-pound Campbell is a big linebacker with speed and athleticism to go with his size. Campbell has showed versatility by dropping into coverage, defending the run well, and rushing the passer. In 2024, he has 108 tackles with five sacks, two forced fumbles, one interception, and two passes broken up. Campbell looks like a first-round talent for the 2025 NFL Draft.

Omar Norman-Lott, DT, Tennessee.
Previously: 22 Avg. 25.8 per 8
12/18/24: The 6-foot-3, 315-pound Norman-Lott is a quick gap-shooting defensive tackle capable of putting pressure on the quarterback. In 2024, he has 18 tackles and four sacks while being disruptive for the Volunteers. In 2023, Norman-Lott showed pass-rush ability with 5.5 sacks and 26 tackles with Arizona State. Norman-Lott looks more muscular and much tougher against the run with Tennessee than he did with the Sun Devils.
