2023 NFL Draft: The Best of the Rest of the Mountain West Prospects By School

Air Force | Boise State | Colorado State | Fresno State | Hawaii | Nevada | New Mexico | San Diego State | San Jose State | UNLV | Utah State | Wyoming

San Jose State

Linebacker Kyle Harmon played like a tackling machine throughout his Spartans tenure, finishing with 442 career takedowns (third in program history). He was also a first-team all-Mountain West defender three times on the strength of being a strong run stopper, but some draft analysts like Pro Football Network’s Tony Pauline have concerns that, despite his sharp instincts, he may already be maxed out athletically.

Cornerback Nehemiah Shelton started for four years and twice earned all-conference honorable mentions because he’s always had a knack for contesting the ball when thrown his way (eight career interceptions, 35 career passes defended). His 77 and 7/8-inch wingspan and solid Shrine Bowl performance are almost certain to generate discussion in the later rounds of the NFL Draft about bringing him on board.
