![]() TP Another Junior Corner on His Way to the NFL?Ĩ p.m. His freshman film of 2019 was so good and showed so much promise, I handed Byrd a sixth-round grade entering the season despite basically two years of inactivity. The change of scenery has been good for Byrd, who sat out the Covid season of 2020 after a terrific freshman campaign, then was a non-factor for Wyoming last year. And that’s exactly how the Trojans are using him.īyrd’s had several pressures and one TFL in the early going this evening. He’s a long, thin athletic pass rusher with the ability to drop off the line, then play in space. Solomon Byrd is starting to realize the potential I saw in him as a redshirt freshman for Wyoming back in 2019. TP Change of Scenery Working for ByrdĨ:20 p.m. Tonight against Utah, the numbers read 18 yards on three carries with one TD and one reception for 18 yards with five minutes left in the opening quarter. I presently have a third-round grade on Dye - two rounds earlier than the scouts I’ve spoken with. He’s really under-appreciated and will be under-drafted, but I have no doubt Dye will be a great situational back/part-time starter on Sunday. He’s a terrific ball carrier, an outstanding pass catcher, blocks well, and he’s a magician helping the quarterback sell ball fakes. Running back Travis Dye will be an afterthought for most, and that’s a shame.ĭye is a complete player at the running back position. When talking about next-level prospects from USC, most start the conversation with receiver Jordan Addison and sprinkle in quarterback Caleb Williams, who’s not eligible for the 2023 NFL Draft. TP Next-Level Prospects From USC? Don’t Forget Travis DyeĨ:35 p.m. Yet, unlike Renfrow, who was a fifth-round pick, Jones could end up a Day 2 selection. Entering the season graded as a UDFA, Jones is drawing comparisons to Las Vegas Raiders receiver Hunter Renfrow. Jones has made a name for himself, as he’s become the most reliable target for Aidan O’Connell and consistently comes away with the difficult catch during the game’s critical moments. His play this season is even more impressive when you consider Jones had 39 career receptions coming into the year. Against Nebraska this evening, he’s added 6 more receptions and a touchdown at halftime. Arriving at Purdue by way of Buffalo and Iowa, with a two-year break in-between, Jones has 50 receptions and seven TDs in seven games this season. Purdue receiver Charlie Jones is finally coming of age and NFL scouts are taking notice. Entering the season, I gave McKee a third-round grade. In many ways, McKee is ahead of Davis Mills, the former Stanford signal-caller now starting for the Houston Texans, at equal points in their college careers. He does a great job leading Stanford’s pro-style offense, protecting the football and using all his targets. McKee is 15 of 21 passing for 137 yards and has been very efficient. Stanford quarterback Tanner McKee has been impressive during the first half of the game against Notre Dame as the Cardinal leads 10-0. TP Tanner McKee - Stanford’s Next Sunday Passerĩ:05 p.m. Thus far, Boutte has accumulated five receptions for 102 yards as the third quarter is closing out against Florida - and many of those were critical catches in crowded areas. After a horrendously slow start to the season and all the criticism thrown in his direction, Boutte is showing the playmaking ability we expected entering the season when the junior receiver was graded as a top 45 prospect. Credit to LSU receiver Kayshon Boutte, a Week 6 slider, who has really kicked it into gear this evening. LSU leads the Gators 42-21 as the third quarter closes out and Daniels is 19 of 25 passing for 313 yards with 3 TD’s and no interceptions. Yet tonight he looks terrific against Florida, and has shown great command of the offense. Going back to his freshman season at Arizona State, Daniels was known as a good athlete trying to become a passer. It’s probably no coincidence the resurrection of Kayshon Boutte coincides with the best game of the year from Jayden Daniels. Daniels Another Impressive Tiger This Evening Taking into account all of the weekend’s slate of action, our CFB/Draft department will all be on hand for their instant reactions as they come in.įor clarity’s sake, each takeaway, reaction, and result will be culminated by the initials of the analyst responsible: TP for Tony Pauline, CM for Cam Mellor, IC for Ian Cummings, OH for Oliver Hodgkinson, and JF for James Fragoza.
