We’re not even into the fourth week of the college football season, but ESPN NFL Draft expert Todd McShay is already making some adjustments to his list of top players in college football.

It’s an SEC-heavy list — particularly on the Alabama side — but it does include six B1G names, which includes two Ohio State players in the top five. There are also two players from Iowa and Penn State and Wisconsin each have one player on the list, as well.

Here’s a look at the B1G players McShay has listed in his top 32, and where they rank:

  • No. 4: Jeff Okudah, DB, Ohio State
  • No. 5: Chase Young, DL, Ohio State
  • No. 23: Tyler Biadasz, OL, Wisconsin
  • No. 25: A.J. Epenesa, DL, Iowa
  • No. 29: Tristan Wirfs, OL, Iowa
  • No. 31: Yetur Gross-Matos, DL, Penn State

From the B1G, McShay is heavy on the offensive and defensive lines. The only non-lineman on the list is Okudah, who has been a force in Ohio State’s secondary.
