2026 Bowman Football Prospect Rankings

Sammy Brown

Produced 107 tackles, 13.5 tackles for loss and five sacks in 13 starts during 2025, earning first-team All-ACC honors.

The repeated disruption is a stronger signal than tackle volume alone. Coverage responsibilities and projection still need independent evaluation.

Latest sourced game · 2026-09-19: W vs UNC: 9 tackles, 1 sack

KJ Duff

2026 captain after starting all 12 games in 2025; profile lists 2027 Senior Bowl Top 300 inclusion, not a draft grade.

A large receiving sample and early repeat production make Duff a high-priority receiver. Contested-catch success still needs separation and target context.

Latest sourced game · 2026-09-19: L vs USC: 7 rec, 86 rec yds, 1 rec TD

T.J. Moore

Entered 2026 with 97 receptions for 1,488 yards across 27 games and 22 starts.

Repeated early-career production is more informative than a single highlight game. Monitor whether volume translates into stronger scoring and efficiency against top opposition.

Latest sourced game · 2026-09-19: W vs UNC: 7 rec, 38 rec yds

Bo Jackson

As a true freshman, produced 1,090 rushing yards and six touchdowns on 179 attempts, plus 19 catches for 200 yards.

Receiving usage and a substantial freshman workload distinguish this profile. He is not the Auburn legend of the same name; prior-card searches must enforce that distinction.

Latest sourced game · 2026-09-19: W vs KENT: 11 carries, 73 rush yds, 1 rush TD, 1 rec

Cam Coleman

Transferred from Auburn, where he led the team in 2025 with 56 receptions, 708 yards and five touchdowns.

The move pairs a demonstrated receiving role with a new quarterback. Target quality and sustained volume matter more than the immediate two-touchdown debut.

Latest sourced game · 2026-09-20: W vs UTSA: 4 rec, 59 rec yds, 2 rec TD

Kewan Lacy

Ole Miss lists the Missouri transfer as a junior running back in the current roster.

Role continuity and scoring opportunity are established. A touchdown streak alone does not measure efficiency or receiving versatility; those remain separate research priorities.

Latest sourced game · 2026-09-19: W vs LSU: 9 carries, 43 rush yds, 1 rush TD, 2 rec, -2 rec yds

CJ Carr

Started all 12 games in 2025, passing for 2,741 yards and 24 touchdowns with a 66.7% completion rate.

The second-year starting sample offers a useful accuracy baseline. The Rice performance is encouraging evidence, with opponent quality limiting how far to extrapolate.

Latest sourced game · 2026-09-19: W vs MSU: 18/24 passing, 234 pass yds, 0 pass TD, 0 INT, 9 rush yds, 1 rush TD

Antwan Raymond

Started all 12 games in 2025; school records 2027 Senior Bowl Top 300 inclusion.

A substantial workload plus receiving contribution gives a balanced baseline. Senior Bowl watch-list inclusion is not NFL consensus.

Latest sourced game · 2026-09-19: L vs USC: 21 carries, 122 rush yds, 1 rush TD, 3 rec, 39 rec yds

Bryce Fitzgerald

Four freshman starts; selected for the 2026 Jim Thorpe Award watch list.

Early takeaway production is compelling but volatile. Coverage volume and responsibilities are needed to judge how repeatable it is.

Bear Bachmeier

Transferred from Stanford after spring practices in 2025. BYU’s August 7 offensive preview identifies him as the returning starting quarterback.

A full starting season at a young college stage is a useful foundation. The next step is converting experience into more consistent passing outcomes.

Latest sourced game · 2026-09-20: W @ CSU: 12/16 passing, 227 pass yds, 0 pass TD, 1 INT, -3 rush yds

Caleb Hawkins

Transferred to Oklahoma State after the record freshman season.

Unusually early scoring production makes Hawkins a priority. Touchdown totals alone cannot show blocking quality, receiving utility or sustainable efficiency.

Latest sourced game · 2026-09-19: W vs MUR: 11 carries, 72 rush yds, 3 rec, 16 rec yds

Aaron Flowers

Started all 15 games and played 741 defensive snaps in 2025.

Early full-season defensive responsibility is meaningful. Tackle volume alone cannot distinguish excellent coverage from frequent targeting.

Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele

Cal’s August 24 award announcement reports 3,454 passing yards and 18 touchdowns while starting all 13 games as a true freshman in 2025.

The early-volume foundation is substantial for his college stage. Efficiency and turnover control are more informative next steps than another 200-yard streak.

Latest sourced game · 2026-09-19: W vs WAG: 27/33 passing, 413 pass yds, 3 pass TD, 0 INT

Wyatt Young

Transferred after first-team All-American Conference recognition.

The sophomore production jump is measurable. Its portability to Oklahoma State is the central question, not transfer attention.

Latest sourced game · 2026-09-19: W vs MUR: 1 rec, 13 rec yds, 1 rec TD, 8 rush yds

Mandrell Desir

Two starts as a freshman, with at least half a sack in five consecutive games to finish the season.

Disruption arrived before a full starting role. Determine whether production scales with additional snaps without assuming sacks grow linearly.

Latest sourced game · 2026-09-19: L @ ALA: 2 tackles

Demond Williams Jr.

Started all 13 games in 2025: 3,065 passing yards, 25 touchdowns and eight interceptions, plus 611 rushing yards.

His dual-threat production is established. The next question is whether the passing efficiency can lead the profile without relying on rushing to rescue possessions.

Latest sourced game · 2026-09-19: W vs EWU: 27/33 passing, 373 pass yds, 4 pass TD, 1 INT, 33 rush yds

Mason Heintschel

Established freshman starting experience; exact 2026 statistics are absent from the inspected profile.

Early passing responsibility is the research case. Preserve the source discrepancy rather than smoothing the record into false precision.

Colton Joseph

Wisconsin introduces him as QB1 after his Old Dominion transfer.

An established conference award winner faces a new competitive environment. The award supports research priority, not an automatic production grade.

Darian Mensah

Moved from Tulane to Duke and then Miami. In 2025 he started all 14 Duke games, passing for 3,973 yards and 34 touchdowns against six interceptions.

The attractive football question is whether the low-turnover production travels to a new offense. Do not treat the school change itself as positive momentum.

Isiah Canion

Started all 12 games as a Georgia Tech sophomore; enrolled at Georgia January 2026.

The sophomore role expanded substantially. The question is whether targets remain available in a different receiver room.

Latest sourced game · 2026-09-12: W vs WKU: 1 rec, 6 rec yds

Nick Marsh

Transferred from Michigan State after 23 appearances and 20 starts over two seasons; recorded a reception in every game.

Existing starter experience gives the transfer a real foundation. The key test is whether his role with Hoover produces sustained opportunity rather than occasional spikes.

Dante Moore

Returning quarterback; the bio lists 2026 Maxwell watch-list and Big Ten preseason recognition.

Postseason production makes Moore a priority; college honors do not establish an NFL consensus.

Latest sourced game · 2026-09-19: W vs PRST: 19/23 passing, 280 pass yds, 4 pass TD, 0 INT, -3 rush yds

Fluff Bothwell

Five starts across 11 games in 2025; previously at South Alabama.

The transfer has already produced an SEC rushing sample. Examine availability and workload consistency before treating per-game peaks as typical.

Latest sourced game · 2026-09-19: W @ SC: 21 carries, 115 rush yds, 1 rec, 22 rec yds

Leonard Moore

Started 10 games as a freshman in 2024, recording two interceptions and a team-leading 11 pass breakups.

A defensive prospect deserves separate measures from quarterbacks and receivers. Interceptions alone cannot distinguish consistently strong coverage from opportunity.

Latest sourced game · 2026-09-19: W vs MSU: 0 tackles, 1 PD

Caden Durham

Entered 2026 with 1,258 career rushing yards and nine rushing touchdowns across 24 appearances and 12 starts.

The year-over-year volume reduction needs role context. Do not equate fewer yards with diminished ability without checking workload and efficiency.
