With bowl season starting soon and players making their intentions for the 2024 NFL draft known, it’s time to update our Big Board.
Players who have entered the transfer portal or decided to stay in school for an extra year have serious changed up the rankings—especially at quarterback. Georgia’s Carson Beck would be a first-rounder, but all signs point to a return to Athens. Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders would very much be in the Round 1 mix, but head coach/dad Deion says he’s going back to Boulder for another season. And at Texas, the impending transfer of QB2 Maalik Murphy has us believing Quinn Ewers will return to the 40 Acres for his junior season of play.
Where else have decisions affected the board? Everywhere. In the day of NIL and immediate eligibility for transfers, college football is the Wild West. And the NFL draft will forever be altered by it.
Let’s take a look though, at a fresh Top 32 with those changes in mind.
1. Caleb Williams, QB, USC
2. Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Ohio State
3. Drake Maye, QB, North Carolina
4. Brock Bowers, TE, Georgia
5. Rome Odunze, WR, Washington
6. Jayden Daniels, QB, LSU
7. Olumuyiwa Fashanu, OT, Penn State
8. Malik Nabers, WR, LSU
9. Joe Alt, OT, Notre Dame
10. Laiatu Latu, DE, UCLA
