Next year's group of pro prospects has the opportunity to be special. It already had headliners in Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith and Texas quarterback Arch Manning. But it got even better on Wednesday, when Oregon quarterback Dante Moore -- thought to be a top-five pick in 2026 -- announced his return to the Ducks for next season. And we're still not sure if Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss will be part of the class, too, which we'll dive into below.
Remarkably, we're less than five months from Day 1 of the draft, which starts April 23 in Pittsburgh. But plenty can change between now and then. The draft order won't be fully set until mid-February, and the No. 1 pick is up for grabs. The final stretch of the 2025 season, along with all-star events, the combine, pro day workouts and a ton of predraft interviews, will ultimately determine how draft boards will be constructed. But things are starting to take shape.
