1. Trevor Etienne, Georgia (NMDD big board rank: 81st overall, RB6)
“Once to the second level, [Etienne] can win in two ways,” Sanchez wrote. “First is by using his speed and accelerating past them turning it into a foot race. Alternatively, he can make a lateral cut to make defenders miss in space and continue vertically upfield. In the open field, Etienne has burst and acceleration to convert runs into 50 or 60-yard gains.”

1. Harold Perkins, LSU (NMDD big board rank: 20th overall, LB1)
2. Danny Stutsman, Oklahoma (NMDD big board rank: 56th overall, LB4)
Listed at 6-foot-4 and 241 pounds, Stutsman certainly looks the part as an NFL linebacker. He also moves pretty well for his size to be effective in coverage and showed growth as a run defender last season.
Between the Sooner’s size, athletic ability and skill set, he has a chance to become a well-rounded backer and shoot up draft boards this season, especially with a strong showing during his first year in the SEC.

4. Jamon Dumas-Johnson, Kentucky (NMDD big board rank: 96th overall, LB6)
1. Jason Marshall Jr., Florida (NMDD big board rank: 79th overall, CB8)
While Marshall has only logged two career interceptions and had none last season, he still has impressive ball production with 21 passes defended over the last three years and 10 in 2023. That plus his man coverage skills are what makes the Florida product standout as a corner prospect in this year’s class, according to The Draft Network’s Daniel Harms.
“While playing outside, Marshall is more comfortable in man coverage, where he can use his short-area footwork and hip-flip ability,” Harms wrote. “He’s a patient corner who will be physical in the release and stem to stay in the hip pocket of receivers down and across the field. On top of routes, he shows good reactive athleticism and ball tracking to break up passes with well-timed swats and won’t give up if he gets behind on a play.”
