1. Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State
Carter’s a relentless edge rusher with explosive twitch, fresh off a 2024 season with 12 sacks and 23.5 tackles for loss. At 6’3”, 250 lbs, his bend and closing speed scream elite potential, though he’s raw in coverage. His first step pops, perfect for 3-4 defenses, but refining hand usage is key. A versatile disruptor, Carter’s motor and athleticism make him a top-5 prospect with game-wrecking upside. He profiles as a dynamic playmaker who can dominate with polish. Pro comp: Micah Parsons.

2. Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado
Hunter’s a two-way phenom, locking down corners and dazzling as a receiver. His 2024 Heisman-caliber stats—92 catches, 14 TDs, 5 INTs—showcase rare versatility. At 6’1”, 185 lbs, his fluid hips and ball skills shine, though his frame raises stamina questions. Elite instincts and playmaking make him a defensive CB1 with offensive flex. A transformative talent, he’s a scheme-changer who thrives in big moments. Expect a top-10 pick with immediate impact. Pro comp: Champ Bailey with WR upside.

3. Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State
Jeanty’s a compact dynamo, erupting for 2,228 yards in 2024. At 5’9”, 215 lbs, his vision, burst, and lateral cuts dismantle defenses. Not a power back, he still breaks tackles with balance, though his 43 receptions suggest untapped pass-catching potential. A three-down threat, his elusiveness and workhorse traits make him a top-10 talent. Jeanty’s game translates to instant NFL production, thriving in any scheme. Pro comp: Jahmyr Gibbs.

4. Jalon Walker, EDGE/LB, Georgia
Walker’s a hybrid gem, thriving on the edge or at linebacker. At 6’2”, 245 lbs, his 2024 haul—6.5 sacks, 2 forced fumbles—shows versatility. Explosive with coverage instincts, he’s undersized for full-time edge but fits 3-4 OLB roles perfectly. High football IQ and scheme flexibility make him a top-20 pick. While occasional overpursuit shows, his playmaking screams impact. Pro comp: Haason Reddick.

5. Mason Graham, DT, Michigan
Graham’s a disruptive force at 6’3”, 320 lbs, with 7.5 tackles for loss in 2024. His quickness and hand-fighting skills shred blocks, ideal as a three-technique. A wrestling background fuels his leverage, though he’s not a true nose tackle and can overpursue. Versatile across fronts, Graham’s a top-15 lock with Pro Bowl upside. His athleticism and polish scream Day 1 starter, ready to anchor a line. Pro comp: Quinnen Williams.
