All-Star Invite Tracker | Underclassman Tracker

Quarterbacks

• Tyson Bagent, Shepherd
• Micale Cunningham, Louisville
• Jake Haener, Fresno State

Running Backs

• Coming Soon

Fullbacks are a “dying” breed of player at this level, so they say. Players coming into the NFL disagree.

• Hunter Luepke, North Dakota State

Wide Receivers

X Receivers are the number one targets, guys with size and speed to create separation in various ways. They are the rarest of the receivers. Here are the projected X receivers at the Combine.

• Dontay Demus Jr, Maryland

Z receivers are the most common type of receiver – typically guys who can play both on the boundary and out of the slot, but have some “defect” that keeps them from playing as a Z – size, route-running ability, speed, etc. These guys are valuable contributors to a team.

• Jacob Copeland, Maryland
• Bryce Ford-Wheaton, West Virginia
• Andre Iosivas, Princeton
• Michael Jefferson, Louisiana
• Jayden Reed, Michigan State
• Mitchell Tinsey, Penn State
• Dontayvion Wicks, Virginia

The last type of receiver are typically undersized prospects with great speed and agility that work exclusively out of the slot.

• Tank Dell, Houston
• Tre Tucker, Cincinnati

Tight Ends

• TE Payne Durham, Purdue
• TE Noah Gindorff, North Dakota State

Offensive Tackles

• Cody Mauch, North Dakota State

Offensive Guards

• Jake Andrews, Troy

Centers

• Coming Soon

Defensive Tackles

• Cameron Young, Mississippi State

Defensive Ends

There are two main fronts on a defensive line in the NFL. In a 3-man front, defensive ends are asked to rotate between the three and the five techs. Here are the players who project as 3-4 defensive ends.

• Coming Soon

Some defensive ends are asked to play more five-tech, typically what we project as 4-3 defensive ends. Here are those players who are headed for the NFL Combine:

• YaYa Diaby, Louisville
• Ikenna Enechukwu, Rice
• Byron Young, Tennessee

Outside Linebackers

In a 3-4 system, outside linebackers are more of pass rushers, otherwise known as Rush Edges. Here are those standup pass rushers projected to remain at that position headed to the NFL Combine:

• Coming Soon

The 4-3 outside linebackers are more common and becoming the overwhelming favorite for teams to plug in. As the roles and responsibilities of a MIKE (inside linebacker) have become outrageously listy, teams often prefer playing two 4-3 outside linebackers who play half-field assignments and split the roles of the position into two players.

• Isaiah Land, Florida A&M
• Dorian Williams, Tulane

Inside Linebackers

• Daiyan Henley, Washington State

Cornerbacks

Boundary cornerbacks have the length and size to hold up against bigger wide receiver prospects.

• Jakorian Bennett, Maryland
• Lance Boykin, Coastal Carolina
• Anthony Johnson, Virginia
• Rejzohn Wright, Oregon State

Slot cornerbacks are typically undersized cornerbacks who are limited to covering slot receivers almost exclusively.

• Kei’Trel Clark, Louisville

Safeties

There are three roles now that typically fall under the guise of “safety.” Starting with the most common group, we will start with the “strong safety.” Strong safeties are typically rotating between the box and the back-end, so prospects who can play some deep coverage and a little bit of linebacker.

• Kaevon Merriweather, Iowa

Free safeties are players who almost exclusively stay on the back end in deep coverage. They have a lot of athleticism and speed to be very rangy prospects.

• Coming soon

Almost exclusively working out of the box are ROVER safeties, guys who are a mix between cornerbacks and safeties who play a lot of coverage.

• Coming soon

Special Teams

Special teams are vital to the success of an NFL team. The most important position puts points on the board – and that’s the kicker (pun intended). Here are the kickers invited to the NFL Combine:

• BT Potter, Clemson
• Chad Ryland, Maryland

Here are the punters:

• Brad Robbins, Michigan

And lastly, here are the long snappers:

• Alex Ward, UCF
