Top 2020 NFL Draft prospects in the College Football Playoffs
By Alex Barnett
Ohio State vs. Clemson
Ohio State
JK Dobbins, RB
Dobbins is a powerful runner that will look to test the Clemson defensive front. With the ability to catch the ball and his physical nature, expect the Buckeyes to give the ball to him early and often. Dobbins will look to continue this playoff run similarly to his performance against Wisconsin in the BIG10 Tite game.
Chase Young, EDGE
Is this even a question? Young is the number one prospect on most big boards around the country. Expect for him to continue to show excellent tape against the top teams in the country. Young did not record a sack against Wisconsin, but that was due to many double and triple teams in order to keep this powerful rusher from causing too much disruption. Young is a Heisman Finalist, he has my vote.
Others worth mentioning:
Jeffery Okudah, CB
Shaun Wade, CB
KJ Hill, WR
Clemson
Tee Higgins, WR
Higgins is tremendous target down the field with a large catch radius, expects him to move around the field to find favorable matchups for this gifted pass catcher. Higgins has the ability to create separation due to his great footwork, he is just as fluid after the catch. Look for the Tigers to look for Higgins often.
Isaiah Simmons, LB
Natural and fluid at the position, Simmons is long, rangy, and athletic. I expect him to continue to assert his dominance sideline to sideline against Ohio State. His athleticism will most likely be a key to stopping quarterback Justin Fields from scrambling.
Others worth mentioning:
Travis Etienne, RB
AJ Terrell, CB
