Top College Football Prospects to Watch for Giants in Week 10

Week 10 of the college football season is upon us and we continue our look at the top prospects looking to raise their stock and whose skills could be a good fit for the New York Giants. Here is this week’s list of five prospects we recommend you keep an eye on.

Will Howard is having a solid to good senior season with the Ohio State Buckeyes. He manages his attack well and efficiently.

Howard has good arm strength and athleticism to make plays with his legs when plays break down. Penn State’s defense will be the biggest test for him this season (until Michigan).

The Nittany Lions have talented passers and a secondary when healthy. Howard must hit the road in a hostile environment and make the plays required to lead his team to victory.

Whether it’s scrambling to avoid the pass rush, checking the football down to his options underneath, or a QB-designed run in the low red zone. Howard has the physical ability to make the difference in this match.

Tyler Baron is one of the quietest passers in college football. Traded from Tennessee to Miami, Baron is having a good season – with seven sacks, five quarterback hits, 23 rushes/pressures and a 17% win rate.

His true back pass win rate increases from 17% to 27.4%. Baron has several pass-rushing maneuvers up his sleeve to win the outside and inside routes to the quarterback.

Against a Duke attack that tries to be balanced in attack. Baron needs to play the run first and help force the Blue Devils into obvious/real passing situations so he can pin his ears. He can continue to build his 2025 NFL Draft stock this weekend.

Aireontae Ersery stock has increased since summer. Once considered a day 2 prospect, he can be drafted late in the 1st round.

Ersery has a matchup against a formidable Illinois defensive front. Illinois’ best defender is Gabe Jacas, who presents a tough challenge to Ersery this weekend.

Jacas is a talented passer with good use of his hands to find his way to the quarterback. Ersery has struggled with low-leverage rushers like Jacas. This is a big game for him to continue to solidify his position as a potential 1st round OT.

Derrick Harmon shines in his new spotlight with Oregon’s defensive front. Harmon has the build and strength of a traditional nose tackle, but the movement skills of a 3-technique IDL.

He’s preparing to take on one of the most consistent and physical running teams in the BIG Ten, Michigan. Harmon will have to manage Michigan’s rushing attack to make them one-dimensional, which plays right into the Ducks’ defensive hands. If so, Harmon can showcase his three-way skills by rushing the passer.

Jalon Walker is one of the best players in college football! He is a versatile defender who plays as both an off-ball linebacker and an edge rusher.

Walker will face a true freshman quarterback, 5-star recruit DJ Lagway. I expect Walker to team up with Mykel Williams to torment the young signal-caller.

He would grade highly as a lone linebacker, but his pass-rushing skills and potential add more positives to his draft profile!
