Cardinal OT Little; three others opt out, enter draft … Four more college players, including star Stanford OT Walker Little, have announced they are opting out of the current season and will enter the 2021 draft. Walker was expected to be a top pick at this year’s draft, but ended up missing all but one game last fall after tearing an ACL in the Cardinal’s season opener. Little, though, isn’t the only PAC-12 OL to opt out today as rising Southern California OG Alijah Vera-Tucker made the same announcement. Vera-Tucker was ticketed to replace Austin Jackson at LT for the Trojans this fall, but at just 6-4 looks to be better suited to staying inside at the next level; he is considered to be a second-day candidate for the upcoming draft. Meanwhile, Oregon CB Thomas Graham, a mid-round candidate for 2021, made it three PAC-12 prospects to opt out today, while the fourth is North Carolina Central CB Bryan Mills, one of the best FCS prospects for the upcoming draft.
