Top Prospects

Arch Manning, QB, Texas

Manning's NFL future has been speculated since his high school days and he could cement himself as the No. 1 overall pick in the draft with a strong 2026 campaign.

Last season, he completed 61.4 percent of his throws for 3,163 yards and 26 touchdowns compared to 11 interceptions.

Dante Moore, QB, Oregon

Moore chose to forgo the 2026 draft and stay with Oregon for his junior season, making him one of the top prospects in next year's draft class.

He threw for 3,565 yards and 30 touchdowns in 2025, completing 71.8 percent of his passes. Moore led an Oregon offense that ranked No. 2 in the Big Ten by averaging 36.9 points per game.

Jeremiah Smith, WR, Ohio State

Smith has blown past expectations throughout his first two years with the Buckeyes, racking up 2,558 receiving yards and 27 touchdowns while averaging 15.7 yards per reception during his tenure at the school.

If he continues on his current trajectory in 2026, Smith has a strong chance to be the first non-quarterback off the board during the first round.
