Earning a bye in the College Football Playoff just became much more difficult for Group ofFive teams.

Ashton Jeanty is widely regarded as a unique prospect at the running back position. But there’s been little consensus regarding the Boise State star’s landing spot in the 2025 NFL Draft. Trying to project where he could go is difficult. He’s a running back from the Group of Five. That’s two reasons right there why teams might think twice about taking him early. But he’s played well even against the best programs in the country and nearly set the FBS single-season rushing yards record in 2024.

For a moment, Kyle Williams appeared to be doomed, that he would soon be tackled behind the line of scrimmage. The next, the Washington State wide receiver was cruising to the end zone. WSU was taking on Oregon State this past season, and the Cougars called a screen pass to Williams with the ball on their own 43-yard line. Wazzu quarterback John Mateer threw the pass quickly after the play began, but several opponents were already near Williams as he caught the ball behind the line of scrimmage.

Before Ahmed Hassanein became a game-wrecker in the Mountain West, he experienced a football journey unlike any other.

Harold Fannin Jr. took a moment. The star Bowling Green tight end had just been posed with a question which could’ve been answered in countless ways. He was asked, if he were to point to a particular game in his career that shows what he’s capable of, which game would he pick. He pointed out his performances against Arkansas State in Bowling Green’s bowl game this past season – 17 catches for 213 yards and a touchdown – and then-ranked Texas A&M – eight receptions for 145 yards and a score.

At this year’s NFL Combine, Upton Stout was asked if he prefers to make a six-yard tackle for loss or an interception. The Western Kentucky defensive back didn’t give a straightforward answer right away. “At corner, I’d say the pick. As a nickel, a TFL is great, too,” Stout said. “But I’ll take the pick to get the ball back to the offense.”The position that Stout would be best at is up for debate, so his approach to that question was interesting. He’s thinking about things from both perspectives.
