While scrolling for miscellaneous box scores from this week’s slate of games, you may not be familiar with the leading passer of the Kentucky Wildcats during their 24-20 victory over the University of Arkansas.
That is most likely due to the fact that that quarterback has nearly six times as many receptions (116) during his time as a Wildcat as pass attempts (21).
The other most likely reason you didn’t recognize the name of quarterback Lynn Bowden Jr., is because Bowden is more well known as Kentucky’s leading receiver, and most dynamic playmaker offensively.
With starting quarterback Terry Wilson...
For NFL prospects, senior seasons are a player’s last chance to make an impression with NFL teams. While not every prospect will take advantage of their last collegiate season, plenty of prospects will take advantage of their senior seasons and see their draft stock soar. While plenty can and will change between now and the 2020 draft, these are five seniors that could find themselves on the rise.
Jace Whittaker, CB, Arizona
Coming off a lost season due to a lingering injury, Jace Whittaker enters the 2019-20 season with something to prove. Entering last season, Whittaker had some hype as a...

Coming off of a so-so 2017 season that saw the Utah State Aggies football program finish with a 6-7 overall record, the 2018 season served as a course of uncertainty under now Texas Tech Red Raiders head coach Matt Wells. Three straight losing seasons, an unproven roster and uncertainty at the quarterback position all presented some varied levels of concern for the Aggies program.
Those concerns quickly dwindled after a near upset victory over Michigan State in their first...

It is hard to believe that Kenny Willekes, Michigan’s State’s All American defensive end, left NorthPointe Christian High School with no recruiting stars or a single Division 1 scholarship offer to his name. Even more perplexing following an all state senior season where he accounted for 162 tackles and 6.5 sacks, chipping in with more than 1,400 yards and 14 touchdowns as a running back on offense.
Instead of settling to play linebacker for a smaller level school, Willekes opted to stay in...

1. Tua Tagovailoa, QB, Alabama*
Fresh off an electric season for the Crimson Tide, Tua Tagovailoa is the current favorite to go No. 1 overall as long as he continues to build on his spectacular 2018-19 season. As a great anticipatory thrower that generally takes care of the ball, Tagovailoa...
