DRAFT NEWS

Three conference games matching ranked teams are the most important contests on the college football schedule for week three and no game will be more intense and emotional than the return of Lane Kiffin to the school he spurned last November for the money and the resources that LSU offers. Kiffin brings an absolutely loaded team into Oxford for Saturday night's contest.

LSU has been the center of the college football for the last few weeks after recruiting and signing at least two UDFA from the 2026 NFL Draft class after their NFL team released them recently - TE Dae'Quan Wright (Browns) and IDL Zxavian Harris (Saints) - and all the drama that has followed. Whether or not these players are added to LSU's roster prior to Saturday's game is TBD but from a talent stand point, their talent is not needed for the Tigers to win the national champio

The 2027 QB class could potentially be the best and most-hyped selection of signal callers since the 1983 class (Elway, Marino). Seven draft-eligible prospects have earned preseason first-round grades and another two dozen prospects have earned draft-worthy grades for next spring's draft.

After a down year for the QB position in the NFL Draft, the prospective top upper classmen signal callers could be a bounce back class that delivers several potential franchise QBs to NFL teams in need next April. Although there is no clear-cut leader in this class, there are several prospects that have the combination of physical tools, mental makeup, and game experience to be drafted first overall next year.
