December 17, 2021

Two juniors in draft; one out … A couple more top junior prospects for the 2022 draft announced earlier today that they’ll be foregoing their remaining eligibility and entering the 2022 draft including Mississippi State OT Charles Cross and Penn State ILB Brandon Smith. Cross is currently the 22nd rated prospect for this year’s draft on the GBN Big Board, while Smith is #40. On the other hand, Iowa State DE Will McDonald, who had 11.5 sacks this past season, has announced that he will be back with the Cyclones next fall.
