Pay attention to them!

LSU x Mississippi State – 13h
Charles Cross has been protecting the blind side of Mississippi State quarterbacks since 2019. And with excellence. At 1.95m and 138 kilograms, Cross passes the first test for the tackle position – the physique. But he also has elite athletic abilities, being agile for someone his size, with a hard punch and good hand placement, taking advantage of his long arms to keep rushers away from his body and also away from the quarterback. If he follows the excellent work demonstrated at the start of the season, Cross should hear his name called on the first day of the Draft.

Clemson x North Carolina State – 16h30
145 kilos distributed in 1.92, Ikem Ekwonu is a gigantic tackle! And he makes opponents feel all his strength in every snap. Ekwonu is competitive and aggressive, hitting rivals in the scrimmage line with violence and grudgingly moving them from place to place. Despite playing left tackle in North Carolina State, perhaps his most suitable position in the NFL is as a guard, as he has less space to cover or less athletic defenders to face. With its brute strength being well regarded in this competitive landscape.

Louisville x Florida State – 16h30
The Florida State team is a bottomless pit of disappointment. But Jermaine Johnson is one of the few bright spots. The edge rusher must be the player who participated in Netflix’s Last Chance U series to be selected highest in the NFL Draft. Johnson is an elite athlete, bursting from the line of scrimmage and using his speed and strength to overcome the opposing OL and make plays in the backfield. And athleticism is being turned into production, with Johnson leading College Football with five sacks and seven tackles for lost yards after three games.

Kentucky x South Carolina – 20h
Darian Kinnard will face one of the biggest challenges of the season as he faces Kingsley Egnabare across the scrimmage line. This is perhaps the best duel of the week on College Football and it pays to stay tuned every step of the way. Kinnard is a right tackle is a mobile tackle – despite the 1.95m and over 150 kilos – and flexible, which allows him to challenge the most varied pass rush moves and keep his quarterback clean. His mental part is also worth highlighting, always on the lookout for stunts or games that the defense can do to put his work at OL in check.

West Virginia x Oklahoma – 20h30
Perrion Winfrey is a force in the middle of the Oklahoma defensive line. The defensive tackle that won’t stop moving for a minute, being a headache for guards and centers. With natural brute strength, he is able to put his hand on the OL’s chest and push him backward until his rival falls into the quarterback’s lap. And productivity has been keeping up with Winfrey this early this year, with at least 0.5 sack in each of the season’s games – totaling 2.5 sacks after three games. He also has 5.5 tackles for lost yards, being a terror in the opposing backfield.
