Been following him for several years now. Left TDN for ESPN about 2 years ago. A trusted source.

I like Matt Miller, but if Kaytron Allen goes before Nick Singleton, I will eat my cat. And my dog. And my neighbor's dog.

You and me both. Interesting that neither had both Hughes and Coleman in their top 5.

I haven’t watched Klubnik at all. Probably won’t watch any QB with much interest for the next 15 years with any luck.

Excluding Arch Manning who is eligible to declare, PFF has Garett Nussmeir of LSU ranked as their top QB.

Way too early wish list...

1 - Singleton, RB
2 - Ramsey, S
3a - Laloulu, C
3b - Hunter, IDL

Might be 2 centers going in the first. Singleton is a hand in glove fit for us.

Again, looking at that list, if Clemson doesn't win it all this year Dabo should be fired. Obscene amount of talent on that roster.

ESPN just did an article debating the top draft prospects at each position. This was their take on running back, Love vs Singleton;

"The running back class in 2026 is a fun one, headlined by a Notre Dame rusher coming off a 17-touchdown season -- but he could face stiff competition for RB1.

Love returns to South Bend fresh off a 1,125-yard season, though a postseason right knee injury limited him to 68 yards in the team's final three games. His 98-yard run against Indiana in the College Football Playoff quarterfinals showed the vision, power and burst he typically employs. Now healthy, Love has the total package to be an elite NFL prospect at 6 feet, 206 pounds.

"Love is far and away the best back in the class," an NFL general manager said. "Probably in college, period. At least on offense, he holds the largest gap between prospect No. 1 and prospect No. 2 at any position."

The RB2 is debatable, thanks to a plethora of talented backs, with many of them forming strong duos. Texas features Quintrevion Wisner and CJ Baxter, while Penn State's pair of Singleton and Kaytron Allen look to be the 2025 version of Ohio State's Quinshon Judkins and TreVeyon Henderson.

Singleton appears poised to break through thanks to his all-around game. At 6 feet and 227 pounds, the senior has power for days and the downhill speed to run away from defenders. He also has three-down versatility, with 41 receptions for five scores last season.

"Love is the guy, but Singleton might be a sneaky RB1 for teams that want some power and pop but value the passing game," said a former NFL GM who still consults for clubs. "Chicago or New England, for example, are ideal fits for him."

My early pick for the top RB: Love"

I've never eaten cat or dog, but to each his own.

Tastes like chicken. But I should probably rephrase this. There's no predicting how stupid NFL teams will be when it comes to the draft, so I'll say it this way: barring injury, if Kaytron Allen is a better NFL back than Nick Singleton, only then will I feast on the fur babies.
