Whether you’re a fan of the draft or just a college football fan, this series looks to give you an idea of what to watch each week.

Blue-chip of the week

Auburn EDGE Keldric Faulk vs. No. 10 Alabama, Saturday, Nov. 29, 2025, 6:30 p.m. CST

As of this writing, Keldric Faulk is my third-highest rated edge rusher in the 2026 NFL Draft behind Rueben Bain Jr. and David Bailey. Such a high ranking may be confusing to some by looking just at his stats, as he’s only had two sacks all season for Auburn. He’s not just your typical edge rusher, though, as he’s taken nearly as many reps as a defensive tackle as he has at edge rusher (748 snaps to 775 snaps in three seasons, respectively). That ability to thrive in multiple alignments is part of what has the NFL so high on him.

Faulk is a physical specimen at 6’6” and 285 pounds with a frame that carries his weight very well. He has fantastic length to help him keep offensive linemen away from the inside of his frame, and he demonstrates good spatial awareness and hand placement setting the edge in the run game. For such a big edge rusher, he moves incredibly well, showing off the burst off the snap and the closing speed that coaches love to see out of any edge rusher, much less one as big as Faulk is. He’s also a capable threat on stunts, as he shows good tempo variation waiting for the right gap to shoot up and the speed to get into opposing backfields. The lack of production and lower-half flexibility will be topics of discussion for Faulk, but he’s a strong, fast, determined edge rusher with inside-outside versatility who feels like a safe bet to go in the top half of the first round come April.

Prospect matchup to watch

Washington RB Jonah Coleman vs No. 6 Oregon’s defensive line, Saturday, Nov. 29, 2025, 2:30 p.m. CST

Jonah Coleman was an NFL-caliber prospect as early as his sophomore year for me, having run for 871 yards and five touchdowns at Arizona in 2023. He joined then-Wildcats head coach Jedd Fisch in the jump over to Washington, and Coleman has continued to build upon his resume. He leads the Big Ten with 14 rushing touchdowns this season and surpassed the 1,000-yard mark in 2024. Listed at 5’9” and 228 pounds, he’s a bowling ball of a runner who uses his natural pad level advantage to stay low and power through tackle attempts. His durability has been impressive in college, and he varies his...
