Campbell was an elite recruit and hasn't disappointed in his time at LSU. With another solid year, Campbell could be the first offensive lineman off the board next year.
Ken Ruinard / USA Today Sports Images
Carter has been a linebacker factory in recent seasons, and Carter has a shot to be their next strong pro. He's been very productive for the third consecutive year, with three sacks and 39 tackles in eight games.
Petre Thomas / USA Today Sports Images
He might not be a first-round prospect, but Dart looks like an NFL player based on what he's produced this season. He's deserving of Heisman consideration, leading college football in multiple major passing categories while also showing mobility.

Graham has continued to be very productive in the post-Jim Harbaugh era at Michigan, with 3.5 sacks and 33 tackles in nine games. He has a chance to be a top 10 pick with his strong play.

Tre Harris, WR, Ole Miss

Harris has tallied over 900 yards for the third consecutive season, but did so this time in about half the games as the previous two years. The Louisiana Tech alum has become an elite deep threat for the explosive Rebels offense.

Hassanein is showing last season's 12.5 sacks wasn't a fluke. The senior recorded 7.5 sacks over his first eight games this year as he raises his NFL stock.

A transfer from USC, Jackson has seen his production on the stats sheet skyrocket for Bama. He has two picks and 27 tackles over his first eight games.
Brian Losness / USA Today Sports Images
First-round running backs have become more rare these days, but Jeanty certainly has a shot. He produced a staggering 8.0 yards per carry through his first eight games, and has the ability to help in the passing game.
Maria Lysaker / USA Today Sports Images
Lacy is having his most productive season, seeing more playing time after the departure of multiple high-profile targets. He had 618 yards and six touchdowns through eight games, proving to be an elite Red Zone threat.
Mike Watters / USA Today Sports Images
McMillan had over 1,400 receiving yards last season, and has only solidified his status as arguably the top wideout on the board entering the 2025 draft. He led college football in receiving through early November.
Butch Dill / USA Today Sports Images
Out to prove he's more than just a mobile quarterback, Milroe has done just that this season. He's completed over 67% of his passes for over 1,900 yards in eight games as a possible first-round pick in 2025.

Mark Konezny / USA Today Sports Images
A transfer from Florida, Powell-Ryland leads college football with 12 sacks in only nine games after recording 9.5 sacks for the Aggies last season. The edge rusher could hear his name called relatively early in the draft with his production.
15 of 20
Nic Scourton, DE, Texas A&M
Maria Lysaker / USA Today Sports Images
Scourton led college football with 10 sacks at Purdue last season, and his production hasn't dropped off much in the SEC after transferring to Texas A&M. He has a chance to be the first pass rusher selected in 2025.
Bryan Terry / USA Today Sports Images
Stutsman has been a tackling machine for the Sooners over three seasons, and is capping off his college career nicely. He had 77 tackles and eight tackles for loss through nine games.
Kyle Robertson / USA Today Sports Images
Tuimoloau is continuing to show more production as an edge rusher as he finishes out his career in Columbus. He had 4.5 sacks and 26 tackles through eight games.
18 of 20
Princely Umanmielen, DE, Ole Miss
Petre Thomas / USA Today Sports Images
After transferring from Florida, Umanmielen is proving to be a key piece of the Ole Miss defense with a career-high 7.5 sacks over only eight games. He's entered the first-round picture with his strong production.

Cam Ward, QB, Miami (FL)
Brett Davis / USA Today Sports Images
Ward took on a bigger challenge this year after transferring from Washington State, and might win the Heisman Trophy on his new team. He's among the college leaders in most passing stats and is also a plus runner. Ward is clearly in the first round conversation.
Matthew O'Haren / USA Today Sports Images
Warren has ample NFL size, and it has now been matched by his college production. He had 51 catches for 606 yards and five scores in only eight games as a key piece of the Nittany Lions offense. Warren could be a Day 1 or Day 2 selection in the 2025 draft.
