2027 Watch List

Alex Honig, TE, Northwestern (formerly UConn)
6-7, 275

Built like a LT.

11" hands
30 bench reps
36" vertical jump

Only 17 career receptions (2 years) although 5 were for TDs. Blocking grades are good but not exceptional so far.

He does have some wheels though

I revisit the Freaks List regularly.

Really interested in Peak - has played guard as well as both tackle spots, really athletic.

I read he weighed 380# in high school (!!!), worked it off playing basketball.

Romanus "OJ" Frederique, CB, Miami
6-0, 180

Frederique finished second to Leonard Moore last year in man coverage grade. His teammate, Damari Brown, finished one place below but it's Frederique who is getting the first round love.

He's not perfect. his zone coverage grade was poor as was his missed tackle percentage at 20%. However, there are people who really rate him high - I'm seeing some top 10 positions for him in some mocks.

v Jeremiah Smith v1



v Jeremiah Smith v2



Hail Mary Sports currently has him as his 4th highest ranked prospect.

Theo Melin Ohrstrom, TE, SMU (formerly Texas A&M)
6-6, 257

A Swedish TE who transferred from A&M to SMU this off-season. I like that as SMU are a team that utilise their TEs. Ohrstrom hasn't set the world alight yet as a receiver or a run blocker, but I really like that size and the opportunity he'll get at SMU.

Watch the defensive player no 3 getting blocked on this play by Ohrstrom and Nate Boerkircher last year. Very funny.

They're still blocking him...

I was watching Duce Robinson highlights and there were a number of plays v Wake Forest. Karon Prunty gave up two TDs against him.

Starts at 6:08 although the link should take you straight there. Prunty is #3. The first one is debatable - broken zone coverage although Prunty misses the tackle. The last TD was Prunty manno-manno on Robinson.

One and a half minutes of Matayao Uiagelei

 

[manxman2601]

KJ Duff's catch radius is crazy. Sadly, his 4.58 forty time means he's often covered so it needs to be. However, check out the catch at 10.27. In his favour, he's frequently open on out-breaking routes which does suggest some route-running chops.

If he can knock a .10 of that forty time, he's Tet McMillan.

The catch at 2:34 along the sideline he'd have been flagged for OPI since he was holding onto the CBs jersey with his left hand as he made the catch with the right hand..

He reminds me of Mack Hollins with his ability to use his body to help get positioning to make catches.

The one catch was pretty amazing.
