"Scouting" The National Championship Game a little differently. I put together a quick mock using nothing but player in the game:
RD1 EMEKA EGBUKA/WR

Easy E is a fluid route runner who will excel in a JB offense built on timing. Overshadowed this year by the Super Frosh, but there was a time when E was the bright young star on a team with Marvin Harrison, Chris Olave, and Garrett Wilson, This allows Yoshi to move outside and let EE handle the slot
RD2 XAVIER WATTS/S

X was the number 89th Nationally ranked prospect coming out of HS for his position. The twist is that position was WR. X has converted well to DB and will only get better. Showed his former WR skills by leading the Nation in INTs this year
RD3 QUINSHON JUDKINS/RB

Q is the #2 RB at OSU but I see him having a better career than Williams. He runs hard, he’s currently the Thunder in the OSU backfield and will continue that role here. Dude is 6’/220 with 4.4 speed
RD 4 SONNY STYLES/LB
![[Image: 1D3A1752-Enhanced-NR-1248x703.jpg]](https://buckeyehuddle.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/1D3A1752-Enhanced-NR-1248x703.jpg)
Sonny transitioned from Safety to LB and has done well. There’s a chance that Sonny retuins to college (and frankly should), but if he declares getting him in the 4th and bringing him along slowly would be great
RD5: HOWARD CROSS III/DL

Undersized IDL with an oversized heart. Comes from NFL genes as his father played 13 years in the league. HC3 has what I like in an interior d-lineman. Outstanding wrestling skills
RD 6 MITCHELL EVANS/TE
![[Image: USATSI_19701345.jpg?w=1000&h=600&crop=1]](https://vikingswire.usatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/44/2024/07/USATSI_19701345.jpg?w=1000&h=600&crop=1)
I like Mitch A LOT better than many. Every time I watch him I see a star. Dude is a huge TE 6’5”/260 with great hands.
