Top College Football prospects: A Look at the Elite
The 2024 NFL Draft is shaping up to be a showcase of exceptional talent, with several college football stars poised to make an immediate impact at the professional level.Here’s a closer look at some of the top prospects generating buzz:10. Luther Burden III,WR,Missouri
While Burden’s stats this season (61 receptions,676 yards,11.1 yards per reception, six touchdowns) haven’t quite matched his impressive 2023 campaign (86 receptions, 1,212 yards, 14.1 yards per reception, nine touchdowns), his elite skills remain undeniable. Burden is a nightmare for defenses when he gets the ball in space, effortlessly evading tackles, accelerating downfield with remarkable speed, and powering through defenders for extra yards. His exceptional body control and strong hands allow him to adjust to high throws and make challenging catches. Don’t be surprised if Burden’s name is called early in the draft despite his slightly lower numbers this year.9. Kelvin Banks Jr., OT, Texas
Banks is a smooth and agile left tackle who consistently gets into perfect position to shut down even the quickest pass rushers. He showcased his abilities against Arkansas’s probable first-round pick Landon Jackson, effectively containing him throughout the game (although Jackson did manage to record a sack when Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers stepped up in the pocket). Banks also excels as a run blocker, displaying the athleticism and technique of an All-American guard when leading screens or pulling. While he occasionally bends at the waist and misses his punch on some run blocks, assuming his ankle injury sustained against Texas A&M isn’t serious, Banks is a highly coveted tackle prospect.8. Jalon Walker, Edge/LB, Georgia
Watching Walker play evokes memories of Micah Parsons during his dominant days at Penn State. Walker, who wears the same jersey number as Parsons, is tied for the Georgia team lead in sacks with 5.5 this season,building on his impressive five sacks as a reserve last year. He’s equally cozy playing off the ball, demonstrating exceptional closing speed that allows him to reach either sideline. walker’s thick upper body and strong hands give him the power to beat blocks inside when defending the run.7. Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona
McMillan’s imposing frame and reliable hands will undoubtedly attract significant attention from NFL teams. The Hawaii native ranks among the top 10 nationally in receptions (84) and receiving yards (1,319), frequently enough exploiting his size advantage (and surprising agility) against smaller cornerbacks. His long strides and physicality make him a challenging matchup for outside corners as well. McMillan’s size and skillset make him a dominant force in the red zone, where he has racked up an impressive 26 receiving touchdowns in his 37 games at Arizona.6. Will Johnson, CB, Michigan
Johnson’s junior season has been hampered by injuries, including a shoulder injury that caused him to miss one game and a foot issue that has sidelined him for the last five contests. He also battled leg injuries last season while helping lead Michigan to a national championship with four interceptions.Johnson possesses the ideal combination of hip versatility,speed,length,and quickness to excel as a cornerback in the NFL.He returned both of his interceptions for touchdowns this season (against fresno State and USC) and isn’t afraid to bring physicality to coverage or run support. If his injury concerns are deemed manageable, Johnson will be considered an elite prospect by NFL general managers.## top College Football Prospects: A Look at the Elite
