NFL Draft Prospects to Watch in College Football Week 11

While the 2026 NFL Draft is still far off in the distance, players that will be drafted early are on the field now. Each week presents unique matchups for draft prospects and this week is no different. Here are NFL Draft prospects to watch in college football week 11.

1. Elijah Sarratt, WR, Indiana Hoosiers

Indiana is having a great season and they are still undefeated. While their defense has played well, the offense has really raised the ceiling on this season. Their wide receivers, including Elijah Sarratt are playing extremely well this season. So far this season, Sarratt has 45 catches for 609 yards and 10 touchdowns. This week he will be going up a Penn State secondary that has some talent in it.

Sarratt has good size for an NFL receiver at 6-foot-2 and 215 pounds. He uses the size well to high point the ball and make tough catches. Sarratt is a solid route runner, has good body control and is a good run blocker. He lacks great speed and won’t do much with the ball after the catch. Currently, he is projected to be a day two pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

2. Will Lee, CB, Texas A&M Aggies

Texas A&M has stayed undefeated this year and have had several players step up. The defense has shown some potential and part of that is thanks to cornerback Will Lee. Lee has 34 total tackles and five passes defended this season. He will be going up against Missouri in a game that could test the Aggies this week.

Lee has decent size at 6-foot-1 and 189 pounds, but needs to keep on filling out his frame to handle bigger NFL receivers. He has shown good athleticism, with nice hip fluidity that helps him mirror well in man coverage. He can press and isn’t afraid to help against the run. He has just average speed and needs to improve his awareness, which includes his route recognition and his eye balance in zone coverage. Lee is currently projected to be a day two pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

3. Parker Brailsford, IOL, Alabama Crimson Tide

Alabama has rebounded well since losing the season opener to Florida State, with their offense really stepping up. The offensive line has played well, including center Parker Brailsford, who has been a leader for the Crimson Tide. He will be going up against an LSU defense with plenty of talent.

Brailsford is a little undersized for an NFL center at 6-foot-2 and 290 pounds. He makes up for that with his movement abilities, as he is a good athlete that can block well in space. He has solid awareness in pass pro and is looking for work. Brailsford lacks play strength and length, which impacts his ability to clear holes in the run game and anchor as a pass protector. He is currently projected to be a day two pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

4. Mansoor Delane, CB, LSU Tigers

LSU has had a rough season and already have three losses. Their offense has struggled, which in turn has put more pressure on the defense. They have been decent considering the circumstances. Mansoor Delane has been a big part of that at cornerback, as he is having a great season. He has 33 tackles, one interception and seven passes defended. Delane will be matching up with some very talented Alabama receivers this week.

At 6-foot-1 and 187 pounds, Delane has a good frame, but needs to add more to it to hold up at the next level. He has good ball skills and plays aggressively. Delane uses his instincts well and has nice eye balance in zone coverage. His long speed won’t be elite and he can struggle getting his hips around, but he has been successful despite that. He is currently projected to be a first or second round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

5. Romello Height, EDGE, Texas Tech Red Raiders

Texas Tech has just one loss on the season and has plenty to play for down the stretch. Their defense has been suffocating, which could lead them to a Big 12 title. Romello Height has been a big addition to the team this season, as he has 22 total tackles, six tackles and six sacks. He will be going up against a tough BYU team in week 11.

Height is a little undersized for an NFL edge rusher at 6-foot-3 and 240 pounds. He doesn’t have great strength and length, which makes it hard for him to have an impact against the run. Height has good burst at the snap and uses his hands well. His ability to bend around the edge and his awareness really help him. Height is currently projected to be a day two pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
