THANKSGIVING SPECIAL Pigskin’s Top 25

November 21, 2022

We are headed down the home stretch of the 2022 College Football regular season. So here we go again, with my Top 25 prospects +1.

  1. WILL ANDERSON     OB/E      Alabama
  2. C.J. STROUD           QB         Ohio State
  3. BRYCE YOUNG       QB         Alabama
  4. JALEN CARTER       DT       Georgia
  5. TYREE WILSON      OB/E   Texas Tech
  6. MYLES MURPHY    DE        Clemson
  7. JAHMYR GIBBS       RB         Alabama
  8. JAELYN DUNCAN    OT        Maryland
  9. BIJAN ROBINSON    RB       Texas
  10. JORDAN ADDISON  WR     Southern Cal
  11. OLU FASHANU         OT       Penn State
  12. QUENTIN JOHNSTON    WR     TCU
  13. B.J. OJULARI          OB/E       LSU
  14. MICHAEL MAYER     TE       Notre Dame
  15. NOLAN SMITH       OB/E       Georgia
  16. PETER SKORONSKI     OL      Northwestern
  17. RASHEE RICE             WR      SMU
  18. JARED VERSE             E/OB    Florida State
  19. JOEY PORTER           CB        Penn State
  20. BRYAN  BRESEE       DT        Clemson
  21. CAM SMITH             CB         South Carolina
  22. ANDRE CARTER     E/OB     Army
  23. O’CYRUS TORRENCE   OG     Florida
  24. DAIYAN HENLEY     LB      Washington State
  25. *ANTHONY RICHARDSON   QB    Florida
  26. JALIN HYATT     WR      Tennessee
  • RICHARDSON clearly needs another season as a starting college QB, but if he comes out for the 2023 Draft, he’s just too good for 31 teams to pass up on him in Round 1.
  • HENDON HOOKER QB Tennessee had never been in my Top 25, but he was edging his way into Round 1 until Georgia dominated him (and his Vols) and now he has torn his ACL.
  • Speaking of the VOLS, I have HYATT in at 25 because of my feelings that RICHARDSON should NOT enter the 2023 Draft.
  • For my money, all the raving about this year’s QB group of prospects has really died down due to less than stellar play by guys like LEVIS, and injuries to HOOKER and VAN DYKE.
  • On the other hand, guys named CALEB WILLIAMS, VAN DYKE, RICHARDSON, DRAKE MAYE & CAMERON WARD might make 2024 the next true bonanza Draft for the QB group.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. And of course… Cheers!
