Ahead of Week 2 of the college football season, FOX Sports analyst RJ Young released his top 10 NFL prospects — and B1G players made up almost half the list.
Four B1G players appeared on Young’s list, led by Purdue defensive end George Karlaftis at No. 2. Ohio State wide receiver Chris Olave checked in at No. 4 while Michigan defensive end Aidan Hutchinson and Iowa offensive lineman Tyler Linderbaum were No. 7 and No. 8, respectively.
These guys will be playing on Sundays soon enough 👀🤩

The SEC is the only other conference to have multiple players on the list, occupying 2 of the 10 spots. Oregon defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux is Young’s top prospect, which is in agreement with many other NFL Draft analysts.
These lists are sure to change over the course of the season. But B1G fans have to like seeing so many players from the leagues in these conversations.
