The 2024 college football hasn’t even started yet but if you’ve studied prospects, you already know who some of the top players are who are eligible for the 2025 NFL draft. A lot can change between now and next April but many of the big names are going to stay big names.
In studying the top prospects, the SEC is once again loaded from top to bottom. This means there are some sleeper players who might not be on everyone’s first-round radar right now but we predict will be in 2025. Here are our five favorite prospects from the SEC who could crash the first-round party.
