Apple Cup features plenty of 2020 NFL Draft prospects to watch

Trey Adams, OT, Washington

It has been a very good year for Washington tackle Trey Adams. After two seasons with major injuries, Adams has stayed healthy to this point in the 2019 season. The injuries have sapped some of his athleticism, but he’s still a very good pass protector. Adams has good footwork, long arms, and good upper body strengths to stop rushers in their tracks or carry them around the arc. He’s also improved as a run blocker this season and has become a mauler up front. If his medicals turn out alright, he’s a fringe first round selection.

Abraham Lucas, OT, Washington State

Abraham Lucas hasn’t been talked about at all this season at the tackle position. From what I’ve seen this year and last year, Lucas has potential at the position. His best trait is processing, and he’s excellent at passing off defenders and recovering when the defense runs stunts. His ability to recover with lateral quickness shows up as well. He’s got good functional strength and can move defenders in the run game. His one issue is handling speed rushers off the edge, but he can help that by getting into his stance quicker. Lucas is definitely the unknown name you need to know in this game.

Myles Bryant, DB, Washington

The last prospect to keep an eye on in this game is defensive back Myles Bryant. Bryant converted from corner to a hybrid defensive back position, and it’s helped his game. He has good speed to fly downhill and make plays and is a sure tackler. His ability to sit back and attack from zone coverage is another good trait of his. He isn’t someone you want in man coverage, but his traits will help him land on a team somewhere at the next level.
