The bowl season gives fans and scouts alike a chance to analyze NFL Draft prospects against solid competition. The bowl season schedule allows all eyes to be on each game. Here are the NFL Draft prospects in the 2019 Military Bowl.
UNC Tar Heels Draft Prospects
Charlie Heck, OT
Heck is a solid offensive tackle, who has started over 20 games in his career. He has played right tackle for the team and been a Tpart of a good unit. The line gave up 10 sacks in 2018 and has helped with the development of freshman quarterback Sam Howell this season.
He is a big tackle at 6-foot-8 and 315 pounds, which will be a positive for NFL evaluators. He is projected to be selected in the backend of the 2020 NFL Draft.
Projected Draft Range: Fifth round-seventh round
Chazz Surratt, LB
Surratt has a great story, as he started his career as a quarterback. After the coaching change this offseason, Mack Brown moved Surratt to linebacker. The athletic player has 110 tackles, six sacks and one interception.
At 6-foot-3 and 230 pounds, Surratt has surprisingly good size for a linebacker. He is still raw as a prospect, but NFL teams will love to see what he can turn himself into after this season.
Projected Draft Range: Fifth round-seventh round
Other notable draft-eligible players: RB Michael Carter, RB Antonio Williams, TE Brandon Fritts, CB Donnie Ross
Temple Owls Draft Prospects
Jovahn Fair, OG/C
The Owls have an experienced left guard in Jovahn Fair, who has started since 2016. He has started over 30 games in his career and already has his degree. Before this season, Temple awarded him with a single-digit number (he still wore no. 70), signifying he was one of the toughest players in the program.
He is 6-foot-2 and 315 pounds, which is a little bit undersized for an NFL guard. Fair has a decent shot to be selected in the 2020 NFL Draft.
Projected Draft Range: Fifth round-seventh round
Quincy Roche, Edge
Roche has been one of the most productive pass rushers in college football over the last three seasons. The junior has 26 sacks and 38.5 tackles for loss in his career. In 2019, Roche has 13 sacks and 18 tackles for loss.
While he won’t be the biggest edge rusher at 6-foot-4 and 235 pounds, he has decent size. Roche’s production can’t be ignored and should get him drafted.
Projected Draft Range: Fifth round-seventh round
Other notable draft-eligible players: QB Anthony Russo, WR Branden Mack, WR Isaiah Wright, DT Dan Archibong, DT Ifeanyi Maijeh, LB Isaiah Graham-Mobley, LB Sam Franklin, CB Harrison Hand
