Windy City Gridiron’s Lead Draft Analyst, Jacob Infante, will be taking a look at what to expect in Week 7 of this year’s college football campaign.
No. 21 Arizona State WR Jordyn Tyson @ Utah, Saturday, Oct. 11, 2025, 9:15 p.m. CST
Entering the 2025 season, Jordyn Tyson was one of my top candidates to finish the year as WR1. Not only has he lived up to my expectations, but in my eyes, he’s taken a pretty big step in front of the rest of the field. In five games this year, he has 39 catches for 483 yards and seven touchdowns, the latter statistic being the most receiving scores in the FBS to date.
Tyson brings nice inside-outside versatility with the ability to win along the perimeter or in the slot. He sinks his hips into his cuts well, and he changes direction seamlessly out of his breaks. He has the agility and ball-carrier vision to serve as a threat after the catch, and his ball skills make him a dangerous threat down the field. There may be receivers with freakier skill sets than Tyson, but for my money, his is the most polished game of any receiver in the 2026 draft.
South Carolina WR Nyck Harbor vs. No. 11 LSU CB Mansoor Delane, Saturday, Oct. 11, 2025, 6:45 p.m. CST
He’s not South Carolina’s leading receiver as of this writing – that honor goes to redshirt sophomore Vandrevius Jacobs – but Nyck Harbor is firmly on the NFL radar. Simply put, his level of freakish athleticism is something you would grow in a lab. He’s 6’5” and 235 pounds, giving him a jacked frame with a significant physical advantage over every defensive back he goes up against. Not only he is strong with a huge catch radius, but he’s also an All-American sprinter with elite deep speed. As raw as he is as a route-running technician, he’s an unbelievable athlete who deserves his flowers.
Harbor should be tasked on some routes with going up against Mansoor Delane, LSU’s transfer cornerback from Virginia Tech who has propelled up the ranks from a Day 2 talent on my board to my CB1 and a top-15 player in the 2026 class. He’s incredibly sound as a processor in coverage, diagnosing route concepts quickly in man and zone while possessing the fluidity to stay with his assignment. Delane tackles with an aggressive edge and plays with a scrappy demeanor competing at the catch point. He doesn’t have the absurd size and deep speed that Harbor...
