Oklahoma Sooners:
Depth Chart | Roster
QB - John Mateer #10
A rare specimen for the position, Mateer has a lot of the physical traits teams look for at the position. He has quick feet and a powerful base that catapults into an explosive release. The sling-it mentality has created several explosives, and the ability to get the ball out from different angles will give him an advantage on the move. Turnovers continue to be a problem, but he is an experienced dual threat with a strong backup quarterback profile who fits into RPO-heavy attacks.
WR - Isaiah Sategna III #1
After transferring from Arkansas in 2024, Sategna wanted to prove he was more than a gadget weapon. He has some of the best overall movement traits in the class and it uncovers him against the defense abruptly. The acceleration plus deceleration will make him a trusty slot underneath, but there is more to him than just that. He can get vertical and the highly-regarded punt returner is a threat after the catch. This is a sure-handed playmaker who has not really been a part of a quality passing attack yet, but has still produced.
TE - Rocky Beers #81
The Sooners are Beers’ fourth program and the one constant he has shown, no matter the offense, is reliability. He has yet to drop a single pass over his career and the physical, smooth athlete is coordinated in traffic. He plays sudden and strong with a knack for finding open grass against zone coverage. The effort is high as a blocker but he will be most sought after for his impact as a short to intermediate weapon in the passing game.
DT - David Stone #0
Excellent run defender. Aligns from a 1 to a 4 technique and shows a quick first step and violent hands. Consistently eats up single blocks and as a result draws a lot of double teams. Solid lateral mover, he can make plays outside his gap. Collapse the pocket style pass rusher with a powerful bull rush and long arm move to get free. Could use more refinement in pass rush technique. Played through a knee injury in September.
ED - Taylor Wein #44
Has the physical traits to play on the edge as a wide 9 or 5 technique. Explosive first step quickness he consistently produces pressure coming off the edge. Speed rusher with a relentless motor, bend and squeeze to beat tackles cornering. Effective on stunts getting penetration to disrupt blocking schemes. Has been solid in flat coverage. Lacks an anchor and can get locked on. Lacks reliable counter moves against oversetting tackles when speed fails.
LB - Kip Lewis #10
Instinctive off the ball linebacker who shows quick downhill reactions and lateral agility. Makes plays from alley to alley with precise inside run fits. Flies through open windows to make plays on the line and in the backfield. Has a high football IQ as the quarterback of the Sooners’ defense. Solid underneath zone coverage, but can get out of position staring in the backfield. Lacks ideal bulk to take on interior linemen. Missed time with a knee injury.
South Carolina Gamecocks:
Depth Chart | Roster
QB - LaNorris Sellers #16
There are very few quarterbacks on the planet with the combination of talents that Sellers has under his hood. The physical gifts meshed with flashes of dual-threat production creates a high ceiling for the third-year starter in the SEC. Very strong and stout against contact in the pocket, a hard guy to get to the ground. Will make all the throws on the move and in some ways, plays better off-schedule and lets his talent do the talking. A little more consistency would go a long way because there is no denying how special his best tape is, and can be.
WR - Nyck Harbor #8
Widely considered the best and most freakish athlete in college football, Harbor truly is one of one when looking at historical receiver prospects. The size (height and weight) combined with the straight line speed is enough to warrant extra attention from the defense every snap. He can catch balls around the clock and even though the consistency is not there yet, his impact on explosives is noteworthy. The former high school tight end does play physical enough as a blocker and his best fit may be the growing role of slot / F tight end in the pros. High-ceiling project.
OT - Jacarrius Peak #65
By the time this season is over, Peak will have about 3,000 snaps under his belt split between both tackle spots. After three seasons in the ACC, he leveled up to the SEC and has yet to allow a sack and has been flagged just once. The athletic, balanced pass protector can maintain proper width between his feet and independent hands. The power game is where the questions begin because he can consistently put himself, and stay in good positions. The true losses on tape are hard to find.
ED - Dylan Stewart #6
Stewart has the talent of a top ten pick and has flashed that skill throughout his college career. Incredible quickness coming off the line combined with his length allows him to stun tackles off the ball. Excellent bend he can corner and close with an explosive burst. The problem has been consistency. Tends to rely on traits over technique and lacks a counter plan. Early season suspension was troubling, but has played well since. A player to keep an eye on.
CB - Vicari Swain #4
In watching Brandon Cisse last year you couldn’t help notice Swain. He plays field corner and is a fluid athlete with precise transitions. He’s very sticky in any kind of match coverage and plays off or press coverage with equal skill. Quick trigger with the ball in the air he’s physical at the catch point. Solid in run support with fundamental tackling skill. Excellent punt return skill adds to his value. Can be too physical leading to holding penalties.
CB - Judge Collier #8
Big long athlete who plays the boundary corner for the Gamecocks. He has taken reps as a slot corner and could have a future as a safety. Physical in press with a jam he’s surprisingly quick to mirror route breaks. In off coverage he shows a quick fluid pedal with well-timed transitions and ability to throttle down or accelerate reacting to route combinations. Physical in run support, he comes off blocks and makes tackles. Lacks ball production at this point.
