NFL.com’s Daniel Jeremiah has released the second version of his top 50 prospects available in the 2020 NFL Draft. The latest list comes as players are reporting to Indianapolis for this week’s NFL Scouting Combine.

Ohio State defensive end Chase Young is still atop the list at No. 1. He was also regarded as the top prospect in Jeremiah’s first top 50 list, released earlier this year. The NFL Draft analyst also included 10 other B1G names in the top 50.

The Buckeyes led the way for B1G teams with four players in the top 50 spots. Iowa, Wisconsin and Penn State all had two former stars listed and Michigan had one.

Below is where Jeremiah pegged those 11 players, as well as where they were previously ranked in his top 50:

  • No. 1: Chase Young, DE, Ohio State (No. 1, no change)
  • No. 4: Jeff Okudah, DB, Ohio State (No. 5, up 1)
