Three true freshman running backs. Three guys with the skill set and the opportunity to make a real impact in 2026 — not just see the field, but actually contribute. Amari Latimer (West Virginia) is 5'10", 230 lbs as a true freshman and is so far ahead of the curve physically it's almost unfair. He's a downhill hammer who spells Cam Cook and keeps one of the most talented running backs in the coun...

Who are the college football quarterbacks worth buying stock in before the 2026 season? In this video, I break down 3 quarterbacks I’m investing in before 2026 based on their traits, flashes on film, and long-term upside: Drake Lindsey (Minnesota) Anthony Colandrea (Nebraska) Malik Washington (Maryland) I also hit a few additional quarterbacks to watch in 2026 if you’re trying to get ahead of the...

John Meredith III just committed to Texas. He's a consensus 5-star cornerback — but the traits alone aren't why he's a top 5 player in the country to me. Most 5-stars check the athletic and physical boxes. Meredith puts exclamation points on them, and then actually uses them at a level you almost never see from a high schooler. In this video, I break down the North Crowley cornerback's film: the e...

Brendan Sorsby would have been a first round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Instead, he's entering the supplemental draft — and a handful of teams need to be paying close attention. In this video, I break down the film on the former Cincinnati quarterback: the elite arm talent that lets him drive the football into tight windows with velocity, the touch and ball placement on vertical throws that makes...

Jabarrius Garror had 43 sacks over his last two seasons of high school football. The Vigor (Mobile, AL) edge rusher decommitted from Alabama in March and just committed to Texas — and after taking another look at his film, this video had to get made. In this video, I break down exactly what makes Garror such an exciting prospect: the elite get-off and bend that lets him threaten an offensive tackl...

Sam Leavitt is going to be great for LSU in 2026. But what does the offense look like in 2027 after he's gone? In this video, I go position by position through LSU's offensive roster and project what the Tigers will have in place for the 2027 season — who's coming back, who's heading to the NFL, and who the next man up is at every spot. QB: Husan Longstreet is my betting favorite to start in 2027,...

Every year, true freshmen come out of nowhere and become household names by bowl season. I'm predicting three defensive backs who will do exactly that in 2026 — one 3-star, one 4-star, and one 5-star. The 3-star: Jamareis "JJ" Conyers, a 6'2" cornerback at Rutgers. He finished his senior season with 8 interceptions, held off late pushes from Miami, Missouri, and UCF, and is walking into a secondar...

Colton Nussmeier just committed to Georgia — and the Bulldogs landed the first quarterback in their 2027 recruiting class. He's the son of Saints OC Doug Nussmeier and the younger brother of Chiefs QB Garrett Nussmeier. And watching the film, the arm talent runs in the family — just firing from the left side this time. In this video, I break down what makes the Denton Ryan southpaw such an intrigu...

Jaiden Bryant was committed to LSU. Then he flipped to Miami — and just gave the Hurricanes the third best recruiting class in 2027. In this video, I break down the Irmo (SC) edge rusher's high school film and explain exactly why this is such a massive pickup for Miami: the combination of get-off and violence at the point of attack that dominates the run game from day one, the natural leverage adv...

Leonard Moore finished 2025 with 5 interceptions and 7 pass breakups — and offenses were actively trying not to throw his way. In this video, I break down exactly what makes the Notre Dame cornerback one of the best players in college football: the 6'2" frame and precision striking in press coverage that slows receivers before they even get off the line, the relentless physicality throughout the e...

DJ Jacobs is the #1 recruit in the class of 2027 according to 247Sports — and he is committed to Ohio State. In this video, I break down the high school film of the Blessed Trinity Catholic edge rusher and explain exactly why programs were fighting over him: the 6'5", 235 lb frame that's only going to keep growing, the explosive first step that already makes high school offensive linemen look help...

Three edge rushers. Three investments to make before the 2026 season starts. Williams Nwaneri is 6'7", 265 lbs at Nebraska — the rare physical traits are undeniable, the pass rush plan just needs to extend past that first engagement. When it does, the production is going to skyrocket. Amaris Williams is the most intriguing long-term investment on this list. The power, the pad level, the explosiven...

Ty Benefield is 6'3", 210 lbs, explosive downhill, and rangy enough to play single high safety in the SEC. He's also transferring to the one school in the country with the best track record of developing defensive backs. In this video, I break down exactly what makes the LSU safety such an intriguing prospect: the size-speed combination that makes him a weapon against the run, the range and hip fl...

The 2027 draft class is loaded with talent, and the edge rusher position is no exception. While it might be a two horse race for the top spot between Colin Simmons and Dylan Stewart, there are plenty of other names to focus on. We did the wide receiver version two weeks ago and will do running backs in two weeks, so please subscribe! 00:00 Introduction 00:20 Colin Simmons 4:24 Dylan Stewart 7:44 S...

Kewan Lacy shattered any expectations around him in 2025 when he ran for the third most yards in the entire country along with 24 touchdowns. He has a rare ability to make impact plays in an instant while also being consistent. Lacy is a workhorse in every sense of the word and Ole Miss will no doubt lean on him in 2026 again. Whenever his college career wraps up, Lacy has a bright future ahead of...

This is the first video in the 2026 College Football Breakout Player Series — and we're starting with running backs. Three guys whose talent hasn't matched their production yet. Three guys I'm buying stock in before the season starts. Florida State's Ousmane Kromah is the one I couldn't wait to talk about. The contact balance, the low pad level, the vision to find any lane across the entire line o...

Jai'Den Thomas averaged 7 yards per carry last season, ran for 1,000 yards, and scored 12 touchdowns. Only five running backs in the entire country who carried the ball 100+ times matched that yards-per-carry number. So why isn't anyone talking about him? In this video, I break down exactly what makes the UNLV running back such an exciting player: the lateral agility and vision at the line of scri...

Colin Simmons might be the best player in college football — and 2026 is the season he proves it beyond any doubt. In this video, I break down what makes the Texas edge rusher such an elite prospect: the best first step in the entire country (and why it's about anticipation, not just athleticism), the instinctive pass rushing approach that offensive tackles simply have no answer for, and why he's...

The 2027 NFL Draft wide receiver class is as good as advertised — and today I'm breaking down the six names you need to have on your radar right now. I split this into two groups. The first three are established producers already trending toward the first round: Jeremiah Smith (Ohio State), Cam Coleman (Texas), and KJ Duff (Rutgers). The second group are guys with real upside who need one more sea...

Jayden Maiava could have entered the 2026 NFL Draft and quietly worked his way into the first round. Instead, he's coming back to USC — and now he has to earn it against the most loaded QB class in years. In this video, I break down what makes the USC quarterback such an intriguing prospect: his elite quick release that maximizes every weapon around him, his underrated pocket presence and anticipa...

Notre Dame just landed Wonderful "Terrific" Monds IV, an intriguing Florida QB who is one of the biggest unknowns in college football. We also take the opportunity to discuss the state of the QB room in South Bend. 00:00 Introduction 00:21 Champ Monds 3:14 Projecting 2027 Starter

Cam Coleman was productive at Auburn. But his production has never matched his talent — and that's about to change at Texas. In this video, I break down why the Texas Longhorns WR is an early first round talent: his dominance at the catch point, the vertical speed that lives in defenders' heads all game long, his fluid hips as a route runner, and what he can do after the catch that most people are...

Dylan Stewart might be the most terrifying edge rusher in college football — and he's only getting started. In this video, I break down exactly what makes the South Carolina EDGE such a nightmare for offensive tackles: the elite twitch and short-area quickness that makes it impossible to know whether he's going inside or outside, his underrated effectiveness as a run defender, and how his bull rus...

KJ Duff is quietly one of the most complete wide receivers in college football — and most people don't even know his name yet. In this video, I break down exactly why the Rutgers Scarlet Knights sophomore WR is a matchup nightmare: his elite release off the line, his ability to threaten defenses vertically at 6'6" 225 lbs, and why his combination of size AND athleticism is rare at any level of foo...

Jeremiah Smith might be the most exciting wide receiver prospect college football has ever seen — and 2026 could be his defining season. In this video, I break down why the Ohio State WR is such an elite talent: the rare combination of size (6'3", 220 lbs) and explosiveness that makes him nearly impossible to cover off the line, his elite ball skills and vertical threat ability, and how he dominat...
