Ranking the top FCS prospects who will actually play a game in 2020

This has to be the craziest season ever. As many of you know we work with an All-Star event every year, and this year we will be working with the College Gridiron Showcase. What I wanted to do is come up with a list of players that we feel have a legit shot at making it to the next level who will actually play a game this year. That means we are basically ranking players on just 15 teams in the FCS.

I know this list will be rather small, but we want to help NFL scouts as much as possible to get these guys the love they deserve. We do not know what is going to happen with the players whose teams decided to play in the Spring and what implications that will have when dealing with an All-Star event, so I thought it would be cool to see the top players we will actually get to see on film in the fall. Obviously, Trey Lance is the best small schooler and he is just a redshirt Sophomore, this list is just of seniors that we have watched. These are just projections and with many of these schools facing tougher FBS opponents this fall, we could see players rise and their draft grades change! We could be missing players, but we have reviewed quite a bit of film.

So let’s get down to business.
