Taylor Warren, Pennsylvania, is the top 10 picks
former Pennsylvania Superstar Tyler Warren is one of the best footballers in this year’s NFL Draft. As a tight end, he caught 104 passes for 1,233 and eight touchdowns last season. He was essentially the entire Nittany Lions passing attack. He is also a devastating run blocker and very athletic, so the team sprinted through the ball with him lined up in the wildcats.
Warren could be a nightmare of NFL mismatches due to her creative offensive coaching staff. That type of possibility should help him shoot draft boards and be one of the first ten people called on April 24th.

With Michigan Notre Dame It is located in front of the defensive end MCHALE blade. Multipurpose tight end JC Anderson Olemis and North Carolina But Illinois is in the mix. Slot receiver Nasir Rankin was heading to commit to Illinois early, but many other programs are involved. Michigan, Nebraska, TennesseeOregon and others have a strong push.
Illini is locked out among the state’s top talent, but still sees it landing a solid recruitment class for 2026.
