DRAFT NEWS

The end of the college football regular season has arrived as three big games – one in the Big Ten, one in the SEC, and another one in the ACC will directly impact the conference races and the college football playoff race. Several top NFL prospects including QB Carson Beck / Georgia (SNS #5 QB), WRs Carnell Tate / Ohio State (SNS #2 WR) and KC Concepcion / Texas A&M (SNS #10 WR)...

SNS' number one QB prospect for the 2026 NFL Draft, Fernando Mendoza (Indiana), was barely on the draft radar when the season began. The quality of the 2025 QB class will be determined after Dante Moore (Oregon) and Ty Simpson (Alabama) decide to declare or to return for another season of college football. If Moore and Simpson return to college, the 2026 NFL Draft QB class could be one for the ages - Moore, Simpson, Manning, Julian Sayin (Ohio State), Marcel Reed (Texas Q&M)

We are down to the last two weeks of the regular season and conference titles and playoff berths hang in the balance. This week’s games will go a long way in determining who gets a chance to make a run at the national championship in January. Several of SNS’ highest ranked prospects for next spring’s draft will be competing this weekend including QBs Dante Moore / Oregon (#3 QB), Jayden Maiava / USC (#7 QB) and Haynes King / Georgia Tech (#4 QB), RB LJ Martin / BYU (#6 RB)...

The NY Jets have pulled the plug, not only on the 2025 season, but for the next couple of years, after trading franchise cornerstones IDL Quinnen Williams (to Dallas) and CB Sauce Gardner (to Indianapolis), and acquiring a boat load of draft capital in the process. The Jets will have two first-round and two second-round picks in the 2026 NFL Draft and three first-round draft picks in the 2027 NFL Draft - a huge haul to rebuild a roster that is short on stars and impact player

As we enter the last month of the college season, teams are jockeying for playoff positioning and two games in the SEC and one huge contest in the Big 12 will have a lot of say in who is still in contention for a playoff berth after this weekend.

The first ever ranked match-up to take place in week zero kicks off what should be an exciting season of college football as Big 12 rivals and two of the favorites to win the conference and earn an automatic berth in the college football playoffs face off.

Coach Jim Harbaugh played for Bo Schembechler, who espoused running the football. The apple does not fall far from the tree. The Chargers select the big, fast, and strong Hampton, who can run between the tackles, run wide, and has reliable hands as receiver out of the backfield.
