With the Indianapolis Colts on their bye week, let’s turn our attention this weekend to College Football.
The college season is winding down with the Bowl season on the horizon. But a big weekend is ahead with the conference championship games taking place.
While the 2025 NFL draft is still a ways off and a lot will change between now and then from needs to prospect rankings, this weekend of college football can be a good opportunity to begin getting familiar with some prospects to know if you haven’t started that process already.
For the Colts, they hold seven picks in the 2025 draft–one in each round. Some positions of need at the moment include cornerback, safety, tight end, running back, linebacker, and defensive tackle depth.
On Friday, there will be several conference championship games taking place–along with more on Saturday–including a matchup between Tulane (9-3) and Army (10-1) for the American Athletic Conference (AAC) title.
Ryan Fowler of Bleacher Report recently put together a list of draft-eligible prospects from this game to keep our eyes on. Below is what you need to know about each player.
For other 2025 draft-eligible prospects to watch during this conference championship weekend, head over to Colts Wire.
Caleb Ransaw, S, Tulane: After three seasons at Troy, this was Ransaw’s first with Tulane. Although listed as a safety, most of his snaps have come lined up in the slot, where he’s graded out well as a run defender by PFF’s metrics. In coverage, he’s allowed 11 receptions on 24 targets at 14.8 yards per catch with one pass breakup.
Mario Williams, WR, Tulane: Williams is listed at 5-9 – 178 pounds and spent about one-third of his snaps in the slot and the rest on the boundary. He’s a downfield target, averaging almost 18.0 yards per catch this season, hauling in 47-of-72 targets with four scores.
Patrick Jenkins, IDL, Tulane: An experienced player with over 2,400 career snaps. Jenkins has played both defensive tackle and defensive end totaling 64 pressures and 10 sacks the last two seasons. For what it’s worth, he’s also graded out decently well against the run by PFF’s metrics.
Bryson Daily, QB, Army: Daily has passed the ball just 76 times in total this season, but has primarily been utilized as a ball carrier, with 246 rush attempts, totaling 1,351 yards with 25 touchdowns. He would rush for 922 yards in 2023.
