1. Peter Woods, DL, Clemson Tigers

Clemson had another bad loss as part of a disastrous season. The defense couldn’t stop Duke, as they allowed 46 points. They did have a bright spot in Peter Woods, who had a big game. He finished with four tackles, one sack and one tackle for loss.

Woods hasn’t seen his stock fall that much despite the team struggling. He showed he could help stop the run and take on multiple blockers like he usually does. Getting a sack helps the team, as it was his first of the season, but he still will not be used a lot on passing downs in the NFL. Woods is still projected to be an early first round pick.

2. Brian Parker, OT, Duke Blue Devils

Duke’s offense was on fire against Clemson and they were able to score late to get a win. This helps them stay alive in the ACC. The offensive line played solidly, especially given the talent on Clemson’s defensive front. Brian Parker was a big part of the Blue Devils, only giving up two sacks and averaging 3.5 yards per rush.

Parker has played well this season, specifically protecting the quarterback. He still has athletic limitations and size that will make him a better fit at guard in the NFL, but his experience at tackle can help his value. His strength and awareness are good enough to be a great guard in the NFL. He is currently projected to be a first or second-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

3. Chris Brazzell, WR, Tennessee Volunteers

Tennessee lost their third game of the season to Oklahoma this week. The offense was ok, but not up to the Tennessee usual standard this season. The receivers played well for the Volunteers, with Brazzell providing some big plays. He had six catches for 68 yards against a good Oklahoma defense.

Brazzell has built his stock up a lot this season. His size at 6-foot-5 and 200 pounds and his body control make him a tough matchup. He tracks the ball well and high-points the ball well. Filling out his frame will need to happen and he has ok speed, but far from elite speed. Brazzell is projected day two pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

4. Dani Dennis-Sutton, EDGE, Penn State Nittany Lions

Penn State lost big to Ohio State, extending their bad season. The defense didn’t play well,  as they allowed 38 points. Dani Dennis-Sutton has had a rough season and failed to make a huge impact today. He finished the game with just one total tackle and no sacks or tackles for loss.

Dennis-Sutton has seen his draft stock fall this year. He has good size for an NFL edge rusher, but his average burst and pad level getting too high can stop his momentum. Dennis-Sutton can also add more pass rush moves. He does have some success rushing from the interior and has a good motor, but more is needed out of him. Dennis-Sutton is currently projected to be a mid-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

5. Carnell Tate, WR, Ohio State Buckeyes

Ohio State continues their great season after defeating Penn State and staying undefeated. Their offense is really starting to come to life with so many weapons to utilize. Carnell Tate continues to play well with another big game. He finished this one with five catches for 124 yards and a touchdown.

Tate has a good frame at 6-foot-3 and 193 pounds, but could still fill more of it out. He has great body control, route-running and run-after-the-catch ability. Tate has specifically high-pointed the ball well and made contested catches downfield. Continuing to beat press coverage will help his stock. He is currently projected to be a first round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
