Colts 2025 NFL draft: Prospects to watch in Big 10 Championship game

With the Colts on their bye week, here are the top 2025 NFL draft prospects to watch in Saturday’s Big 10 Championship game.

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 a few conference championship games taking place, including the Conference USA Championship game and the Mountain West Championship game.

Then on Saturday, one of several conference championship games will include Penn State and Oregon for the Big 10 title.
