From Florida State's edge rushers Patrick Payton and Marvin Jones Jr. to SMU quarterback Preston Stone, this weekend's games in week zero feature notable prospects for the upcoming NFL Draft. 2025 NFL Draft Prospects to Watch in College Football Week 0 1. Patrick Payton, EDGE, Florida State Seminoles Patrick Payton is set to become one of the premier pass rushers in college football this season. Standing at 6’5” and 250 pounds, he recorded 14.5 tackles for loss and 7 sacks in 2023, helping the Seminoles achieve an undefeated regular season. With Jared Verse now in the NFL, Payton will be the focal point of Florida State’s defensive front, starting with a key matchup against Georgia Tech. 2. Marvin Jones Jr., EDGE, Florida State Seminoles Marvin Jones Jr., a former five-star recruit, transferred from Georgia to Florida State for a larger role. With his combination of size and speed, Jones could quickly rise as a top EDGE prospect for the 2025 NFL Draft. His Week 0 performance alongside Payton against Georgia Tech will be closely watched as he steps into a full-time role. 3. DJ Uiagalelei, QB, Florida State Seminoles After transferring from Clemson and Oregon State, DJ Uiagalelei has one last chance to prove his NFL potential as he takes over the starting quarterback role at Florida State. He showed flashes of his talent last season, throwing for over 2,600 yards. His Week 0 performance against Georgia Tech will be crucial as he seeks to improve his draft stock. 4. Preston Stone, QB, SMU Mustangs Preston Stone emerged as a standout for SMU last season, throwing for 3,197 yards and 28 touchdowns. As SMU moves to the ACC, Stone will face tougher competition, but his Week 0 matchup against Nevada offers a chance to start the season strong. NFL scouts will be watching his development closely this season. 5. RJ Maryland, TE, SMU Mustangs RJ Maryland has transformed into a dangerous tight end for SMU. After adding weight and maintaining his speed, Maryland totaled over 500 receiving yards in 2023. His ability to stretch the field will be key in Week 0 against Nevada, making him a player to watch for the 2025 NFL Draft.

How the NCAA Can Leverage Their CRM Strategy This week, we look at the NCAA's CRM usage, customer service policies, and customer-facing business processes. We will try to identify how the NCAA leverages its CRM. What Is The NCAA? The NCAA operates as a nonprofit organization representing 1098 colleges and universities (also referred to as member institutions), and a half million student-athletes. The National Collegiate Athletic Association is a member-led organization dedicated to college athletes' (also referred to as student-athletes) well-being and lifelong success (Vcortez 2020). What is CRM? CRM (customer relations management) refers to the activities, strategies, and technologies that companies use to manage their interactions according to a 2017 Forbes article written by Jason Kulpa (Kulpa, 2017). Identifying the NCAA's Top Customer As a nonprofit organization, the NCAA has multiple customers and various channels utilized to reach their target market. On its face, The NCAA's top customer is the member institutions they represent. Yet, According to their financial records , the NCAA's real priority is the media companies who bid for the exclusive rights to air the NCAA's top championship events on national TV (Vcortez, 2020). How the NCAA Can Leverage CRM According to a 2020 Nutshell blog post written by Cody Slingerland , the author explains the benefits of CRM usage within a nonprofit organization. The author describes the benefits of Nutshell, which can offer its customers the ability to adapt its CRM tools to their nonprofit business. One of the ways he describes involves donor tracking for nonprofits and donor engagement. The same tools used to measure donor engagement can also be used to measure the media organizations who pay the NCAA for media rights (Slingeland, 2020). The importance of measuring the corporations who purchase media rights from the NCAA revolves around maximizing value. The Member institutions that the NCAA represents receive money from the NCAA for participating in their championship events. For example, the NCAA informed its member institutions that they would be reducing their 2020 direct distribution payout from $600M to $225M due to the cancelation of March Madness caused by the Coronavirus pandemic. March Madness generates $800M of the NCAA's $1B annual revenue. The value that March Madness provides is worth nearly $1B to the NCAA. The usage of advanced CRM metrics helps the NCAA leverage its value allowing them to present their market reach and engagement. The NCAA's Customer Service Facing Business Processes The NCAA must present itself to varying types of customers, member institutions, student-athletes, and corporations. Its most prominent customer in terms of accountability would be its member institutions who employ the NCAA to govern their athletics. The customer-facing process involves board meetings involving member institution athletic directors and athletic department personnel. The NCAA must answer the questions and adhere to the needs voted on by the member institutions. The importance of advanced CRM can help the NCAA leverage and balance its customer relationships (n.d.). NCAA's Customer Service Policy The NCAA's customer strategic plan operates as their customer service policy. The strategic plan outlines core values and initiatives as it relates to each of their customers. The strategic plan summarizes the NCAA"s relationship with its member institutions, student-athletes, and corporations. Conclusion The benefits of deploying an advanced CRM tool far outweighs the negatives. As it pertains to the NCAA and how they can leverage the use of CRM within their nonprofit organization is paramount to their success. Because the NCAA must leverage multiple high profile relationships at a time, they need to have access to in-depth analytical data to leverage their relationships properly.

2021 CFB Playoff Semi-Final: Alabama vs Cincinnati Situational Scouting and Matchup Analysis The Matchup: Alabama Offense vs. Cincinnati Defense Alabama Offense Overview The Alabama offense is explosive, led by Sophomore QB and Heisman Trophy Winner Bryce Young; they are 5th nationally in plays of 20+ yards (84) and average 42.5 points per game. Alabama took a step back in the run game in 2021, amassing 1919 yards (75th). They rank 6th nationally in passing offense with 4523 yards, 44 TD's, and 4INT's. Alabama averaged 495 yards of offense per game (6th). Bryce Young Displaying his deep accuracy Heisman Winner and Sophomore QB Bryce Young Is The Engine That Propels The Alabama Offense The Alabama offense took a slight step back in 2021 after a record-breaking 2020. Sophomore QB Bryce Young took the reigns from the departed 2021 1st round NFL Draft pick Mac Jones, posting incredible numbers for a first-year starter. His 4300 passing yards, 44/4 TD/INT ratio, and 2nd highest NFL QB rate won him the Heisman Trophy. His performance in the SEC title game sealed the Heisman, Young went 26 of 44 for 421 yards and three scores. If Young were draft-eligible, many believe he would go number one overall in 2022. The Alabama Run Game Powered By a Senior RB That Waited His Turn Brian Robinson is a solid RB who possesses good size and plays with good vision and patience. He doesn't wow you in any particular area, but he is versatile. As a runner, Robinson picked up 1071 yards in 2021. Robinson then added another 268 yards as a receiver. He has a combined 16 TD's in 2021. Alabama's WR Factory Continued In 2021 With Ohio State Transfer Jameson Williams Leading the Way The Ohio State transfer arrived in Tuscaloosa perceived as the 4th best WR at Ohio State before transferring. In 2021, Williams became the best WR in college Football, snagging 68 catches for 1445 yards and 15 TD's. Jameson Williams is an instant impact player and the top WR on our NFL Draft Board . Williams provides a spark whenever the Crimson Tide offense needs a big-time play. He can attack a defense at all levels and is one of the best route runners in college football. Jameson Williams with the stop and go double move displaying his explosive speed The Alabama OL Has Been Inconsistent You might have expected better with Bill O'Brien as the Alabama OC and Doug Marrone coaching the OL (LOL for Bill O'Brien). But, the Alabama OL has been inconsistent in 2021, yet put together their best game of the season against the best defensive front in college football (Georgia) in the SEC title game. The week prior, they surrendered seven sacks vs. Auburn in the Iron Bowl. In 2021, Bryce Young has faced the second-most total pressures in the country, and Young has been sacked 30+ times on the year. Alabama OL Graded Average to Below Average In 2021 According to PFF, Alabama has received a below-average grade in pass blocking and an average grade in run blocking for 2021. They are among the worst in total-blown run blocks in college football. Still, they have Football Scout 365's top-rated OT prospect in the 2022 NFL Draft (Evan Neal) bolstering their OL. Cincinnati Defense Overview The Bearcats defense allows 16 points a game (4th) and allows the 2nd fewest pass yards per game (168). Their run defense is a bit more susceptible, giving up 147 yards per game (44th) but a respectable 3.3 yards per rush attempt (11th). The Bearcats are 3rd in the nation in turnover margin, and they rank 12th in tackles for loss. They give up the nation's 5th fewest explosive plays. They rank 12th overall in yards allowed in 2021. The Bearcats DL is Quick And Can Create Havoc; the LB's Play Fast The Bearcats defensive line is led by Curtis Brooks, a 285 lb interior player who has picked up 7.5 sacks and 11.5 TFL's in 2021. Brooks is not the 300lb giants you see at Georgia or Alabama, but he brings a blue-collar attitude to the middle of the Bearcats defense. The Bearcats also have an athletic edge defender (Myjai Sanders), a solid pass rusher who can set the edge. In addition, the second-level speed at LB has been a significant key to the Bearcats' success in 2021. None of the LB's stand out, but they do a good job in coverage and playing downhill vs. the run. LB's Joel Dublanko and Darrian Beavers lead the Bearcats in tackles. Havoc creates turnovers, Sauce Gardner INT The Bearcat Secondary Is Very Good Led By Sauce Gardner and Coby Bryant Most people will write off or overlook the Bearcats secondary because of "Bama" but they are an excellent group that plays at an elite level. Sauce Gardner is a long-armed corner at 6-2 188 who is getting a lot of NFL draft attention. The game against Alabama is a big game for Gardner's draft stock as he will likely shadow Alabama's Jameson Williams. On the other side is Coby Bryant. Bryant is a 6-1, 198lb corner who is also lengthy. He is the less heralded of the two, but he is also garnering a lot of attention from NFL scouts. At safety, the Bearcats are led by Bryan Cook, a 6-1 210lb split safety, who can play in the box and get physical when needed. The Matchup: Cincinnati Offense vs. Alabama Defense Cincinnati Offense Overview The Bearcats average 39 points per game; they ranked 52nd in pass offense, 49th in rush offense, and 46th overall. They are a balanced offense that uses RPO and play-action. Ridder shows his touch and deep accuracy Desmond Ridder Is The Straw That Stirs The Drink The Bearcats are led by their senior QB Desmond Ridder, a player considered by many to be a first-round NFL talent. Ridder has been a steady force the last few years in Cincinnati. In 2021, Ridder completed 66% of his throws for 3190 yards with a 30/8 TD/INT ratio. Ridder adds versatility as a runner where he amassed 361 yards and six more TD's. Jerome Ford Wants You To Know He Is Not "The Alabama Transfer, He Is The Cincinnati RB" The Bearcats lead back is a former member of the Alabama Crimson Tide; he doesn't want you to talk about that , and he is vocal about it. Ridder and Ford show why they are tough to defend in zone-read situations Jerome Ford has had a great 2021 season picking up 1243 yards on the ground scoring 19 TD's, and adding another 209 yards and a score as a receiver. He averaged 6.22 yards per rush attempt in 2021. At 5-11 220 lbs, Ford is a bowling ball-style back who picked up 578 of his 1243 rush yards after contact. The Bearcat OL Is Solid, But Face Their Toughest Test vs. Alabama The Bearcats surrendered 92 pressures, ranking the 7th lowest nationally in 2021. And their 20 sacks allowed is 30th nationally. They have surrendered the 5th fewest TFL's (45). Bearcat Receivers Led By Alec Pierce Are Solid, But Not Overly Dynamic Led by Alec Pierce, the Bearcats are not dynamic on paper. But do not be fooled; they are a solid unit, and Pierce, who is 6-3 208 lbs, can be a matchup problem for opposing defenders. Pierce has good hands and excellent ball skills. He can gain separation as a good route runner and has good speed. Bearcats TE Josh Whyle Provides A Matchup Problem For Alabama At 6-6 235, Whyle is a hands catcher with good size that can body a defender. He posted 25 catches for 320 yards and six TD's in 2021. Alabama Defense Overview Not one of the better versions of a Saban defense, the 2021 edition allows a respectable 20 points per game. They rank 8th in total defense and give up the 63rd most pass yards per game (223). They possess a stout run defense, ranking 4th, allowing 83 yards per game. They give up the 7th fewest plays of 20+ yards but give up a significant number of (chunk) 10-19 yard plays, ranking 32nd nationally. The Bearcats will have an issue containing Edge Will Anderson Will Anderson Is a Top Five NFL Draft Talent in 2023 If eligible in 2022, Anderson would have a case to be number one overall. His talent off the edge is undeniable. He ranked 3rd in total pressures with 13 sacks in 2021. Anderson is not just a pass rush asset; he can drop into coverage when needed. Josh Jobe and Jordan Battle Bolster A Solid and Improving Alabama Secondary The Physical 6-1, 210lb Jordan Battle plays physical. He is a versatile player that Alabama will line up deep, in the box, or the nickel. His 3 INT's lead the team. Josh Jobe has had a subpar 2021, but he is still a solid NFL draft prospect with a high ceiling. Jobe has 2 INT's on the year. If Alabama Wins: It will be because.... They assert themselves early in the run game to take pressure off the offensive line in passing situations. As noted earlier, the Bearcats run defense looks a little susceptible. If Alabama can play physically up front, they may be able to control the line of scrimmage against an undersized Bearcats defensive front. This season, Cincinnati has surrendered 121 first downs in the run game, ranking 72nd nationally. In addition, they have allowed nearly 1100 yards after contact (63rd). With or Without A Run Game, The Bearcats Have Their Hands Full Vs. Bryce Young And Jameson Williams. For the Bearcats defense, it will be a pick your poison scenario. I expect the Bearcats will play to keep everything in front, allowing the Crimson Tide to have a lot of access underneath. If the Bearcats are getting gashed in the run game and decide they want to stop the run, they will have a hard time locking down the Alabama WR's. Jameson Williams leads the charge, and even without Metchie, the Tide can target several options outside of Williams, including one of the top TE prospects in the 2022 NFL Draft Jahleel Billingsley. Sauce Gardner vs. Jameson Williams The Bearcats play a man-heavy defensive scheme, but against Alabama, they may want to try to play a little more zone. Regardless, the matchup to watch will be Sauce Garner vs. Jameson Williams. If Cincinnati Wins: It will be because... . The Alabama Offense Struggles and Bryce Young Faulters under Pressure The Bearcats defense will need to do whatever is necessary to keep Alabama from hitting the explosive plays, which means they may have to play out of their comfort zone and line up in less man to man and more zone coverage. The one problem is that if the Bearcats want to exploit the inconsistent Alabama OL play, they will need to bring an extra defender from time to time which takes away from their coverage on the back end. If Desmond Ridder And Jerome Ford Have Success In The Run Game, The Bearcats Have A Shot The best defense is a good offense, and in Cincinnati's case, they may want to try to sustain drives and keep the ball away from Bryce Young. They can do this by running the football successfully. Ridder is a good athlete who can use his legs to add pressure to a defense. His ability to run can force Alabama to defend all eleven and open things up in the RPO and zone-read game. Ridder will have to play a significant role as a runner to beat Alabama Jerome Ford's role is also vital; he will have to play well between the tackles for Ridder to find success on the edge of the Alabama defense. Early down success in the run game will give Ridder more manageable late down passing opportunities to use his legs when Bama decides to play man. Alabama Key 2022 NFL Draft Prospects to Watch Alabama has nine players ranked on our current NFL Draft Big Board . They have 2nd most players ranked on our board. OT Evan Neal (3rd on our board) WR Jameson Williams (6th on our board) DB Josh Jobe (27th on our board) Cincinnati Key 2022 NFL Draft Prospects to Watch The Bearcats have three players currently ranked on our current NFL Draft Big Board.

2024 NFL Draft: 10 Players That Helped Their Draft Stock The Most at The NFL Combine Below, I list Ten prospects who improved their 2024 NFL Draft stock by participating at the NFL Combine. Xavier Worthy, WR, Texas (5’ 11’’, 165lbs) Xavier Worthy is characterized by his exceptional speed and explosiveness, standing out as a premier deep threat capable of changing the dynamics of a game with his ability to separate from defenders. Worthy turned everyone's head with his record-breaking 4.21 40-yard dash. His blazing speed and strong production at Texas make him a potential first-round target for teams needing a vertical threat. Quinyon Mitchell, CB, Toledo (6’ 0’’, 195lbs) Quinyon Mitchell's NFL combine performance aligns well with his varied and rich skill set, showcasing his significant physical attributes and football intelligence. His impressive 40-yard dash time (4.33) reflects his exceptional speed and ability to close distance quickly, which complements his preferred style of play in off-man or zone coverage. Mitchell solidified his reputation as a top cornerback prospect. Brian Thomas Jr., WR, LSU (6’ 3’’, 209lbs) While he might get overshadowed by teammates, Thomas Jr. put up a solid 4.33 40-yard dash and has the production to match. Brian Thomas Jr. boasts an impressive physical profile suitable for both inside and outside receiving roles, marked by his size, speed, and agility. Despite occasional lapses in route-running, his physical gifts provide a strong foundation for further development. Chop Robinson, EDGE Penn State (6’ 3’’, 254lbs) Initially, Chop Robinson was a top 20 prospect and saw a decline in momentum during the 2023 college football season. He reminded everyone that he has elite potential by showcasing his burst and bend in drills, alongside notable performances in the 40-yard dash (4.49 seconds) and 10-yard split (1.54 seconds). J.J. McCarthy, QB, Michigan (6’ 3’’, 219lbs) At the NFL Combine, McCarthy demonstrated solid arm strength and accuracy, particularly on throws to his right. However, he showed some inconsistency to his left during the throwing-on-air portion. At the NFL Combine, and on his film, You can see improvements in his footwork and mechanics from 2022 to 2023. Michael Penix, Jr., QB, Washington (6’ 2’’, 216lbs) Penix, like McCarthy, probably reinforced his 1st round NFL Draft potential. Penix smashed the throws on air displaying his excellent mechanics and his accuracy. He reportedly presented a clean medical evaluation at the combine as well. Braden Fiske, IDL, Florida State (6’ 4’’, 292lbs) Braden Fiske's draft stock has seen significant growth due to outstanding performances at the Senior Bowl and NFL Combine. As a defensive lineman from Florida State, he topped the defensive tackle category with a 40-yard dash of 4.78 seconds, a vertical jump of 33.5 inches, and a broad jump of 9 feet 9 inches. At the 2024 NFL Combine, Fiske excelled in drill work, demonstrating notable speed and power, setting him apart from his competitors. Mike Sainristil, DB, Michigan (5’ 9’’, 182lbs) Mike Sainristil showcased his athleticism at the NFL Combine, ranking fourth in the broad jump (10 feet 11 inches) and seventh in the vertical (40 inches) among cornerbacks, alongside a commendable 4.47-second 40-yard dash. He also posted a sub-seven-second three-cone drill (6.99) and an elite 4.01-second 20-yard shuttle, indicating excellent agility and quickness. At the weigh-in, his nearly 31-inch arms provided him with a reach advantage over many peers, enhancing his potential impact as a slot defender. Jaylen Wright, RB Tennessee (5’ 11’’, 210lbs) Tennessee running back Jaylen Wright made a significant impression at the NFL Combine, showcasing his athletic prowess with standout performances, including a 4.38-second 40-yard dash, an 11'2" broad jump, and a 38" vertical leap. These results highlight Wright's explosive nature and exceptional breakaway speed. His performance at the combine, coupled with his size and athleticism, is likely to boost his standing on many NFL Draft boards, as teams value the dynamic potential he brings to the running back position. Amarius Mims, OT, Georgia (6’ 8’’, 340lbs) Mims, standing at 6’8” and weighing 340 pounds, and with a wingspan exceeding seven feet, displayed unreal agility for a player his size at the NFL Combine. His NFL Combine performance included a 5.07-second 40-yard dash and a 9’3” broad jump. Although a tweaked hamstring cut his day short, Mims's mere presence and metrics were enough to leave a significant impact. At only 21 years old, his combine performance, coupled with surprising refinement on tape despite limited experience, suggests Mims possesses one of the highest ceilings among tackles in the 2024 NFL Draft, positioning him as a potential top 10 pick.
