2025 / 2026 College watch thread

[manxman2601]

Missouri OL is my prime target to watch.

Keep an eye on Keagen Trost. He'll either be LT if Green isn't playing or RT. He's currently the second highest graded OL run blocker and graded high as a pass blocker too.

Don't discount their edge rushers though. They've been lights out this year and I'm looking forward to seeing how they go against a step up in opposition.

They also have the 2nd best rusher in the league in Ahmad Harvey. He's behind someone from Jacksonville St. Harvey isn't draft eligible though.

Good news

Great news. I want to watch Green vs. Alabama and Austin Siereveld vs. Illinois. They are 2 of the most interesting OLs for me, because they offer 4 position versatility: starting potential at RT, LG and RG, and adequate at LT. I think you could plug either in at RG in 2026 if Onwenu is cut, and then move them to RT or LG in 2027.

Todd McShay notes how good the Mizzou OL is at run blocking. Something we definitely need

I heard McShay rave about Hardy. 2027 watch list material.

292 ypg rushing is sick.

Chase Bisontis very athletic, on my day 3 OG watch list.

Mizz strike first

 

[manxman2601]

Welll 'Bama got gashed by the Mizzou OL on that opening drive.

 

[mayoclinic]

That was easy.

Missouri clearly outclassed.

 

[Scotty]

This looks a good game so far

 

[manxman2601]

Ty Simpson looks like an NFL QB. Zion Young has the beating of Proctor, but his two penalties hurt there. I love how aggressive the Missouri defense is.

 

[mayoclinic]

I agree, Simpson passes the initial eyeball test.

 

[Scotty]

Oh no ...hope he is ok

 

[mayoclinic]

Ohio St. up 10-0 vs. Illinois. Game should ve over given their 5 ppg avg on defense.

What is it with me and older prospects? Keagen Trost, who I'm ready to pull the trigger on my RT of the future is in his 6th season.

You like polished prospects? Older guys look more polished.

Not related to anything specific about this year but i found this reddit thread a really interesting read.



TLDR or don't want to bother seeing the rankings? After the 30 or so most well known teams, no one else is really relevant.

 

[mayoclinic]

I like older prospects too.

Oh, sorry, you were talking about football prospects. Nvm.

 

[BobDigital]

Oh no ...hope he is ok

That is one of the worst concussions i've seen in a long time. After 5 minutes still not walking in a straight line. It wouldn't surprise me if he wakes up tomorrow thinking its game day.

Cant beat experience they say

For a second I thought that was blocked
