College Football Offensive Position Groups Post Week 8
QUARTERBACK
1. JUSTIN HERBERT | OREGON
2. DWAYNE HASKINS | OHIO STATE
3. JARRETT STIDHAM | AUBURN
So far Oregon’s Justin Herbert has stood out the most amongst this QB class yet lacks the star power that we have seen in previous classes. Outside of Herbert several QBS are battling for notoriety including Ohio State’s Dwayne Haskins and Auburn’s Jarrett Stidham.
RUNNING BACK
1. BENNY SNELL | KENTUCKY
2. DAVID MONTGOMERY | IOWA STATE
3. DAMIEN HARRIS | ALABAMA
Kentucky’ Benny Snell is having an impressive season thus far and looks every bit of a future starting NFL RB. Iowa State’s David Montgomery is a versatile weapon on offense and Alabama’s Damien Harris is a typical power back who is continuing to show is potential as a change of pace RB at the next level.
WIDE RECEIVER
1. AJ BROWN | OLE MISS
2. DEEBO SAMUEL | SOUTH CAROLINA
3. N’KEAL HARRY | ARIZONA STATE
Ole Miss WR AJ Brown has showcased his talent this season and will see more looks as the team’s go-to WR after the injury to DK Metcalf. South Carolina’s Deebo Samuel is a smooth route runner who has upside as a return specialist and Arizona State’s N’Keal Harry is a big-body WR with potential to be a great red zone target.
TIGHT END
1. NOAH FANT | IOWA
2. KADEN SMITH | STANFORD
3. CALEB WILSON | UCLA
The tight end class this season is one of the weaker positions in the draft but the one bright spot is Iowa’s Noah Fant who is a receiving target for the Hawkeyes offense and has potential to be a good weapon for NFL offenses in the future.
OFFENSIVE LINE
1. JONAH WILLIAMS | ALABAMA
2. GREG LITTLE | OLE MISS
3. DAVID EDWARDS | WISCONSIN
The offensive line group took a hit after the Trey Adams injury news but it is still a strong group led by Alabama’s Jonah Williams who will likely be the first o-lineman drafted and a potential top 10 pick. Ole Miss’s Greg Little is a versatile OT who can play both LT & RT and Wisconsin’s David Edwards is a riser in this group and could be the third or even second o-lineman drafted come 2019.
