2022 NFL Draft: College Football Notes for Week 11-12

Keeping up with the college game

I write about the Los Angeles Rams and run a Rams blog for a living, so covering this season’s college football season as it relates to the 2022 NFL Draft—gets harder by the transaction. From putting players on IR to acquiring Von Miller and Odell Beckham, Jr., the Rams are doing their part in keeping me from keeping pace with hundreds of NFL Draft prospects.

To that end, it is interesting how the Rams have built a roster full of former top-10, top-20, and first round draft picks despite not having any first round draft picks.

Many of the college players and NFL Draft prospects we’ve covered at Seaside Joe this year will make it to the next level. Some of them will star with the franchise that picked them high. Some of them will thrive elsewhere.

Please hit this:

Here is a bit more info this week on what’s happened lately with college football’s top draft prospects:

Kobe Hudson, WR, Auburn, 2023 draft eligible

SEC Players of the Week

QB Hendon Hooker, LB Will Anderson, DL Tyree Johnson, OL Cade Mays

Player of the Year from Last Saturday: @Vol_Football's Hendon Hooker 🟠 5️⃣ @edsbs @RJ_Writes #TOL

Big 12 Players of the Week

QB Chandler Morris, DE Will McDonald IV, RB Jaylen Warren

Michael Swain @MSwain247

With three games to play in the regular season, Will McDonald (27.5) needs 5.5 sacks to match the Big 12 all-time sacks record (33), which is held by Von Miller. ISU will also play in a bowl game and could play in the Big 12 CCG. So McDonald could have five games to do it.

B1G Players of the Week

WR Jahan Dotson, QB Aidan O’Connell, S Ji’Ayir Brown, RB Braelon Allen

Cam Mellor @CamMellor

Jahan Dotson, yikes.

The Basic Blues Podcast @BasicBluesPod

I don’t think anyone has accepted their role on a team better than Jahan Dotson. 2018: learned from the vets but was ready to make plays. 2019: #2 to KJ but we knew he was special. 2020: breakout as #1 WR 2021: makes every play needed to win games. 5 is very very special 🙏

RB Charles Williams (UNLV), RB Lew Nichols III (Central Michigan), WR Garrett Wilson, WR Jameson Williams, WR Myles Price (Texas Tech), TE Chigoziem Okonkwo (Maryland), RB Rachaad White, LT Bernhard Raimann (Central Michigan), LG Julio Garcia (UNLV), C Dawson Deaton (Texas Tech), RG William Dunkle (SD State), RT Cooper Hodges (App State)

WHAT A GRAB MYLES PRICE

Something that I think people should know about Player of the Week awards is that they are similar to the Oscars, the Grammys, or any other terrible awards show: Celebrities drive fans to pay attention, not the host. Not the writers. Celebrities. Why do you nominate Meryl Streep every year? People expect Meryl Streep to be there.

This isn’t a direct reply to anyone who PFN mentioned here. It’s safe to say though that in general, certain players get bumped for recognition over others because they’re “college football famous”.

PFF Players of the Week

QB Phil Jurkovec, RB Braelon Allen, RB James Cook (Georgia), WR Williams, WR Jameson, WR Xavier Worthy, TE Michael Mayer, OT Raimann, LG Joshua Mote (Lou Tech), C Linderbaum, RG Kyle Hergel (Texas State), RT Darian Kinnard (Kentucky).

Ian Cummings @ian_cummings_9

Rumor has it that Bernhard Raimann is still blocking this man down a street in Kalamazoo. Please call if you have any details regarding his location.

DL Ralph Holley (Western Michigan), DL Devonte Wyatt (Georgia), Edge Ali Fayad (Western Michigan), LB Anderson, LB Micah Baskerville (LSU), LB Nakobe Dean, CB Natrone Brooks (Southern Miss), CB Jacobee Bryant (Kansas), S Jordan Helm (FAU), S Grayson Cash (UAB)

Lots of new names here that I know nothing about. That’s exciting! The tree of knowledge about the 2022 NFL Draft should grow significantly in the next two months.

Baskerville came away with five total run stops and notched two sacks and one hit on four snaps as a blitzer. On 24 coverage snaps, the LSU linebacker recorded four passing stops and allowed -1 yards.

The B1G also split the Week 11 special teams award between Adam Korsak and Tory Taylor, both of whom are punters from Melbourne, Australia. Think this is a theme?
