BIG BOARD 2026

Murray was the highest-graded QB in college football this past season. We haven't seen a quarterback that is as dangerous with both his arm and legs since Russell Wilson.

Bosa had a higher pass-rush win rate as a true freshman than Brian Burns, Clelin Ferrell and Jachai Polite had this past season.

Williams earned the highest grade we've ever given to a college interior defender (96.0) in his lone season as a starter at Alabama.

The Alabama left tackle was the second highest-graded tackle in the nation despite facing stout SEC competition and allowed only 12 pressures.

Allen had far and away the highest pass-rushing grade of any college edge defender this past season at 94.3.

A 47.7% completion percentage against and 17 forced incompletions made Murphy the highest-graded corner in the country this past year.

Tillery tied Quinnen Williams for the highest pass-rushing grade among interior defenders in college football. Tillery's sack totals don't tell the whole story as he was a dominant week in and week out.

He tore his ACL but did it so early in the process that he could still play as a rookie. Simmons had a run-defense and pass-rushing grade over 90.0 this past season.

His sophomore campaign wasn't quite as dominant as his freshman season, but he still only allowed 27 of his 74 targets to be completed.

Haskins certainly improved as the season went on, but his 84.9 passing grade leaves us with some reservations.

His pass-rushing finally came around with a 90.8 grade this past season, but considering his size and the competition he was facing, he still has a ways to go.

No linebacker in college football had a higher grade in coverage than White's 91.6 last season. His freakish athleticism suggests it was no fluke.

Dillard had the highest pass protection grade of any starting tackle in the country at 94.0 this past season.

Burns racked up the most pressures of any Power-5 defender in the country last year with 69.

Taylor came into his own on the right side for Florida this past season and finished with the third-highest run-blocking grade among starting Power-5 tackles.

Baker has posted back-to-back 90.0-plus graded seasons in coverage. This past year, he allowed all of 10 first downs all season and no touchdowns.

Metcalf's numbers aren't anything special, but his physical traits and high-end plays are promising.

Bush can be a weapon as a blitzer in the right scheme. He had top-five pass-rushing grades among off-ball linebackers each of the past two seasons.

Risner started all four seasons at Kansas State and his career low grade was 87.9 overall.

Brown was the definition of a complete receiver for Ole Miss. He forced 17 broken tackles, had 34 explosive plays and only dropped five passes on 90 catchable.

Hockenson had the second-highest receiving grade among tight ends in college football this past year, dropping one pass on 51 catchable targets.

In Ford's lone season as a starter, he allowed all of seven pressures all season long and didn't allow a sack until the playoffs.

Arcega-Whiteside led the entire draft class with 19 contested catches this past season on only 32 contested opportunities.

Grier tied Drew Lock for the NCAA lead with 33 big-time throws and has the second-best best passing grade behind Kyler Murray.

Wilkins was top three in both run-defense and pass-rushing grade among interior players this past season.
