DRAFT NEWS

The first Saturday of the fall brings on one of the best days of conference action on the schedule as three key match-ups in the Big Ten and SEC figure to go a long way in determining conference titles – (6) Oregon at (3) Penn State, (4) LSU at (13) Ole Miss, and (17) Alabama at (5) Georgia. This Saturday is an important day that scouts will be referencing in the ramp up to the 2026 NFL Draft next year.

The 2025 RB class is one of the best group of prospects to enter the NFL in the last two decades. Unfortunately, the 2026 class does not look like it has as much elite, top end talent nor the depth of last April’s class. This class is unlikely to offer a Top 10 prospect like Ashton Jeanty, who was selected by Las Vegas with the sixth pick last spring, but there a few prospects who may warrant first round consideration with a quality season this fall.
